"Hotel with nice touches"

Reviewed April 18, 2025 NEW

We stayed while touring University of Chicago. The hotel has many features that distinguish it from the chains, a record player in the room, books, a metronome, boxed instead plastic water bottles. The service was friendly and helpful. We walked because it was nice for 25 minutes to get to the Admissions Office. Would stay here again.

"Very very good!"

Reviewed April 11, 2025 NEW

Very nice hotel. Beautiful room. My only complaint is the bathroom door. The sliding door is neat, but I didn't like that it doesn't latch. Otherwise my experience was very pleasant. The customer service was superb. I would absolutely stay here again.

"Visit to hotel for business"

Reviewed April 10, 2025 NEW

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a fantastic visit to the Sophy Hotel in Hyde Park! From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm, professional, and welcoming. The design of the space is stunning—modern, artistic, and rich with local character that perfectly reflects the Hyde Park neighborhood. Though I didn’t stay overnight, I spent time enjoying the atmosphere, and everything from the lounge to the restaurant was top-notch. The ambiance was relaxed yet refined, and it’s clear that a lot of thought went into every detail of the guest experience. The location is ideal—just steps away from the University of Chicago, the Museum of Science and Industry, and the beautiful lakefront. Whether you’re dropping by for a drink, a meeting, or just to soak in the vibe, the Sophy Hotel is absolutely worth a visit.

"One Fail After Another"

Reviewed April 06, 2025 NEW

Failure after failure. Problem checking in-- room wasn't ready. They told me to come back in 20 minutes. I did. Room still not ready. Then problem with room (safe didn't work and no one ever followed up on my request for assistance) and network didn't work-- that one got fixed.
