Located around the corner from picturesque Rittenhouse Square, the 306-room Sofitel Philadelphia was recently named among the best hotels in the world by Condé Nast Traveler’s 2024 Readers’ Choice Awards, placing No. 34 on the top 50 list. This year, readers cast 575,048 votes in the hotel award survey.
The Sofitel is known for offering French elegance in a neighborhood deeply rooted in Francophile history that extends to hospitality, architecture and cuisine—all of which contributed to the hotel’s favorable ranking.
Sofitel Philadelphia opened in 2000 and has undergone stunning renovations, including an upscale lobby redo, curated art gallery, Liberté Lounge and revamped Chez Colette restaurant menu and décor. This completes a multi-year overhaul of the entire four-star property.
“We are truly honored to be recognized as one of the Best Hotels in the World by the 2024 Readers' Choice Awards,” said Pierre Jotterand, General Manager, Sofitel Philadelphia, in a press release. “At Sofitel Philadelphia, we are committed to creating moments of joy and elegance for every guest, and this award reinforces our mission to provide exceptional service with a genuine spirit of hospitality.”
This Condé Nast award is just the latest in an impressive list of accolades for the Sofitel. Its Philadelphia property won a Condé Nast Readers' Choice award in 2017; holds a Certificate of Excellence Hall of Fame award from Trip Advisor; acknowledged by US & World News as Best Hotel of 2017; a coveted Four Diamond award from AAA; and voted in the top three hotels in Philadelphia by our readers. Bonus: Sofitel is a kid- and dog-friendly property, too.
