Super friendly and helpful staff. We liked the atmosphere of the restaurant and bar area, the comfortable and clean rooms with option for housekeeping daily. Parking was convenient right behind the hotel.
We loved the decor and the well appointed rooms (great towels, comfortable bed and linens). The breakfasts were very good, and the parking in the rear was fantastic.
Sophy Hyde Park is a very stylish, art forward hotel with beautiful, large and comfortable rooms, an engaging, friendly staff and a well-run, charming restaurant. The hotel is in a fun neighborhood which is convenient to The Obama Center and The University of Chicago.
Convenient to Lake Shore Drive and the Obama Presidential Center. Room had plenty of space and a small couch between the two queen beds. Parking is ridiculously expensive, but you can park for free in the residential area just a couple short blocks away.
It is a beautiful hotel, with food places and stores super close by, the rooms and hotel in general is very clean and well maintained. I wish they offered/included continental breakfast but other than that I definitely recommend staying here!
What an amazing stay! This hotel was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The accommodations were beautiful and comfortable, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. I truly enjoyed every moment of my stay and would definitely return. Highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing and memorable experience!
Sophy Hotel was a great selection. It was in great proximity to the Obama Center, Millennium Park, and countless other restaurants. Hyde Park Metra is walking distance if you want to travel via the Metra. The staff was phenomenal. They were very attentive to your needs. I called downstairs for clean towels, and before I could hang up the phone, they were being delivered. There is also a restaurant in the hotel that has great food.
Awesome option for lodging in Chicago.
Spacious, clean and well appointed room with comfortable bedding. Nice fitness room and friendly staff. If you’re visiting South Chicago definitely book your stay here. Convenient to many local and chain restaurants, the Lakefront trail, University of Chicago, and the Obama Presidential Center.
The room was great! We were there two nights, chose not to have our room serviced, and ran out of Nespresso pods (there were only two). Did not call the desk for more. The housekeeping staff is unaware of how to assemble the Nespresso machine, so I had to put the puzzle pieces together, even though I’ve never had one. The front desk staff was amazing.
The staff and property were great! Never enjoyed staying in a hotel this much. Everything was great, Beautiful inside, great art and the staff created a wonderful environment. Parking is a serious problem but otherwise a perfect stay.
I have already booked my next stay when I return to Chicago in a few months.
We recently stayed there on a Saturday night. The hotel and rooms are very clean and beautifully decorated. The restaurant/bar staff were quite rude, however. I did have a friend
One of the best spots close to the lake in a beautiful neighborhood! You can’t beat the deal only thing could be better is dedicated parking. But you still can find a park nearby, overall one of the best hotels south of down town and really upscale
Love this place!! The lobby is beautiful, and the location was great.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The carpet in the room was wet. The bathroom shower was clogged but the room was nice and the view was great. The morning staff at the front desk clearly had some personal issues. Her demeanor was not pleasant. morning of 20 September. (and no I did not ask or get a discount)
