Sophy-Hyde Park

Location

The desk staff were cordial and friendly. The restaurant group was exceptional from the manager to the purple haired waitress that has been working there for 7 years. We ate there 4 times in our 2 day stay and had delicious breakfast and great lunch every time.

Fun and gorgeous hotel. I found the price point to be extremely fair compared to other hotels of a similar caliber. I considered giving this review four stars because the front desk staff was a bit chilly and unwelcoming. We had a snag and she immediately stated that the hotel couldn’t do anything about it, but we were able to figure out an easy solution ourselves. I imagine that she could have suggested the easy solution instead of putting up a quick brick wall. Upon check-in she was fine but there was no warmth whatsoever and it really didn’t vibe with how incredibly warm and thoughtful the actual hotel is. I found the rooms and decor to be genuinely delightful and it’s clearly is designed with a ton of care and love. I would return here in a heartbeat. Thank you for an amazing stay!

Excellent accommodations. Clean property; friendly and helpful staff. Room was spacious, clean, with lots of amenities. Perfect location with easy access to resturants, stores, and the Obama Presidential Center and Museum. I highly recommend the Sophy Hotel. Ate in the resturant and bar; the food was good and the atmosphere friendly and welcoming. A great place to hang out, meet friends, and chill from a day of travel, etc.

Our stay was wonderful! The hotel was clean, comfortable, and in an unbeatable location. Being just across the street from the Baskin-Robbins where Barack and Michelle Obama had their first date made the experience even more special. It was the perfect home base for visiting the Obama Presidential Center and exploring the surrounding Hyde Park neighborhood. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always eager to help with recommendations. Our room was quiet, well-appointed, and made for a relaxing retreat after a day of sightseeing. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting this historic and vibrant area of Chicago.
