I was pleasantly surprised about how upscale and beautiful the hotel was. The room was great with all the amenities and decor especially for the price I got.However there were some issues and my ratings shouldnt have been so high. Someone nextdoor spent hours singing and talking on a phone in the bathroom and I could here it LOUD and clear, but on the bright side at 4am staff was there quickly to address. I could have used a map or directory showing where the fitness room, ice dispensers, etc, were. Could have been one was avaliable and I was too lazy to find one but nothing was offered. And although the restaurant and lounge area were nice as far as i could tell there was nowhere to get microwave popcorn and soda late at night 😅. Probably I dont stay in enough hotels like this and vending machine are a big cheesy no no! Also would have liked a place to get a quick pastry or snack, especially in the morning, before going out. So overall, my daughter will be going to U of Chicago which was within walking distance and we were surprised and pleased with the hotel. It was upscale and beautiful for the price. There were shortcomings but we would stay here again and recommend it while mentioning the above.

Classy comfort

Definitely, the best hotel bathroom I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing and the bed was amazingly comfortable. Room had appreciated extras such as a steamer and makeup mirror. Comfortable seating area right in the room. The only thing missing was a desk chair and do not park in front of the hotel when you were checking in, pull around to their shirt term parking lot to avoid getting a fifty dollar ticket

The Sophy Hotel Hyde Park - Wonderful Stay

Was in town from Dallas for CFP and my friend and I stayed at the Sophy for the first time. The service was great from the second we arrived. From the front desk to the bar area to the dining room, the staff were polite, professional, and attentive! I will definitely stay there again when I'm back in Chicago!

Wedding Eve Stay

I stayed here the night prior to my wedding and actually did a first look with my husband in the room the following morning. The staff was accommodating, as I left a few items at home. They provided me with what I needed without hesitation. They also took my dresses and bags to my room while I rushed out for a hair appointment. The room was clean and made the perfect backdrop for intimate photos between us two.

Very clean, Friendly staff. Nice location . Did not like that in order to turn the bathroom light on, the main bedroom light also had to be on at the same time. This was difficult for middle of the night runs to the bathroom.

My stay at Sophy was amazing and the staff was so welcoming and made you feel at home. The rooms are very clean and the setup of the room just blew me away. The area is walkable and have a variety of food options and transportation available. The interior and exterior decorating of this hotel is beautiful. The next time I am in Chicago, Sophy will be my first choice. I would like to thank the staff of Sophy Hyde Park for their kindness and just making my stay wonderful.

Will totally stay here again.

Hotel and staff are great. Really appreciate folks who pay attention to every last detail. Completely polar opposite to most interactions I experienced in Chicago (my hometown). I’d seriously recommend this property to anyone interested in staying in Hyde Park. Only downside (through no fault of the hotels) is the price of Ubers to get downtown and north. But proximity to Metra is definitely a plus. Starbucks and Harold’s Chicken within walking distance, top shelf property in my book.

The staff is very nice and helpful. They let us stay around for work in the lobby after we checked out. The area does not seem to have a lot of dining options. The traffic to the airport is so congested but overall this property is very nice in this area if you wanted to visit university of Chicago
