Well, it’s that special time of year again: the season to give thanks and express your appreciation of all of those people so dearly important to you—all of those who help make you who you are.

Perhaps the Thanksgiving season is such a magical one because it establishes an explicit and communal time to share this warmhearted feeling—one we actually genuinely hold year-round, but which we often don’t get around to conveying. Gratitude to one another isn’t always easy to articulate directly, yet, if you stop and think about it, it’s really one of the strongest sentiments we can experience. To a large degree it anchors the relationships that are so integrally important to our lives.

At the Sofia Hotel, we’re endlessly thankful for our unflagging team and our wonderful community of patrons. We’re thankful for the opportunity to treat each and every hotel guest and restaurant customer with the level of service they so deserve, whether they’re with us for a night or a week.

We mean it, too. A hospitality business such as ours is nothing without that commitment—and that commitment is a hollow one if not nourished by an authentic and abiding joy in what we do. We’re proud of the standard we set at the Sofia, and we’re delighted when our guests become parts of the family—returning again and again to our elegant perch on West Broadway.

So we give thanks this autumn to those who truly make the Sofia Hotel what it is. Thank you for helping us achieve our vision for being one of Southern California’s finest, friendliest hotels, all while adding another chapter to the biography of a grand old building that’s been so richly restored for your comfort and leisure.

We wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving season, and hope you’ll come see us again soon so that we can express our gratitude once more through that special brand of Sofia Hotel hospitality.
