Our Take: There's a good chance that you can enjoy the Sofitel's upscale amenities for a more reasonable rate than the other nearby four-star hotels. What amenities? Try cavernous marble bathtubs, Bose sound systems, and picturesque views of downtown and the John Hancock Observatory. Recent guests say the rooms are more spacious than other city hotels, and that they possess a cosmopolitan, French flair representative of the posh Sofitel brand. The distinctly Euro feel infused in the modern décor and restaurant is easy on the eyes (and the stomach) too. The Hotel Sofitel Chicago Water Tower is the rhombus-shaped building just two blocks off the Magnificent Mile.
