Hotel Sofitel

This stateside take on France's premier hotel chain is hospitable and chic, with its modern Art Deco vibe, classy bar off the marble lobby, and doormen that make a serious effort to greet you with an authentic "Bonjour." About a block from Rittenhouse Square, the location is great for both business and pleasure. Guest rooms are upscale and contemporary, with extra-cozy beds and huge, luxe bathrooms.

Chez Colette serves decadent French breakfasts (and complimentary coffee to guests). Liberté, the lobby bar, is a largely undiscovered gathering spot: a New York-style lounge, with tall windows overlooking Sansom Street, a long blue Brazilian granite bar, cozy seating areas, and tasty wines by the glass.
