Review:
I had a wonderful stay at the Sofitel Chicago Water Tower. I read about this Sofitel in Newsweek as being a "green" hotel, so the PR was very good. During my meeting, the water was not pre-poured, which I was happy to see. Plastic cups were not used. Many organic and fresh ingredients were offered in Cafe des Architectes, the hotel's restaurant and during my meetings. I was very pleased.

The guest rooms are contemporary and sleek. They have a minimalist European look with plenty of natural light. I found my room very comfortable, especially the pillowtop bed. It was like melting into a cloud!

The bathroom amenities were individual, but that is what I expect in a luxury hotel
