Great 4 night stay here helping our D get settled for her new job at U Chicago. Clean, modern, artfully decorated rooms with very comfortable beds and linens. The on site restaurant is very good. Best pancakes I have ever had in my life, a must try. They also served me the best deviled eggs in the bar that I have ever had. Staff is well trained and the service was excellent. The area is safe. Short walk to a Target and a Whole Foods, and to another fabulous restaurant we tried, Virtue. We will stay here again when visiting.

This was BY FAR the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in in my many years of travels within the U.S., Far East and Europe. The lobby, staff, food, rooms, restaurant were top notch. The two girls that checked us in and answered my questions - Marissa and Camryn, made me feel like family and valued guests. The location is great as we came to Chicago to go to the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry - a 15-20 minute walk from the hotel. I highly recommend Sophy Hyde-Park to anyone visiting the Hyde Park area of Chicago !
