I have been to 6 continents, dozens of countries, and have stayed at hotels around the world. Sofitel Darling Harbor has been my greatest experience and the true definition of a luxury hotel. I would like to thank the housekeeping team. I am one of those people who travel with my own cleaning kit. I even pack disposable sheets. There was No Need for my kit. The room was immaculate. A special thank you to Youngbin, Jefferson, Regilyn, and Shanthi. They decorated my room for my birthday and it was so special, it brought me to tears. Thank you to Claire, the front desk supervisor. She is so sweet and kind. Thank you for making my birthday and stay extra special. Thank you Sofitel.

I love staying here but wish the cocktail/pool bar stayed open longer. Would also be nice if there was a pool option that was not for kids, couldn’t even get closed to the pool. Sadly all views at lower levels currently blocked by construction
