Hello all,

I'm a lawyer and we have a trial in Philadelphia in September. Since I'm apparently the pickiest partner about lodgings, I'm making the recommendation to the client. This will be a negotiated group-rate thing, so status-based extras and loyalty don't really come into the picture. (My Hyatt status is only platinum anyway.)

Hyatt is .4 miles closer to court, but I have heard that the Sofitel is nicer. Price is basically a wash. Does anyone have experience with these two hotels (putting aside experience with room upgrades, etc.) to weigh in on whether Sofitel is materially better and should cancel out the extra walk (or need to take cars)?

(We also looked into the Logan but for an extra $10k I'm not going to push that too hard on the client.)

Thanks
