Check Availability & Pricing

Hotel Information: Bay windows accent the exterior of this handsome 14-story Philadelphia hotel, built in 1907. The lobby is an intimate, elegant space with wood-paneled walls, chandeliers, Oriental rugs on stone floors, and floral arrangements. Guests are largely individual businesspeople drawn by the high level of service and plentiful extras. The boutique style and choice location attract leisure travelers, too.
Amenity highlights: Service is a hallmark of this establishment, with a concierge, 24-hour reception, same-day dry cleaning and laundry service, and valet parking. Complimentary wireless Internet access is available throughout the hotel.
Insider tip: Gourmets will want to stroll the 1500 and 1600 blocks of Walnut Street just east of the hotel. A number of Philadelphia's finest restaurants line these two blocks, including Alma de Cuba, Brasserie Perrier, Susanna Foo, Striped Bass, and, best of all, Le Bec-Fin. Just off Walnut on 15th is ˇPasión!, a well-regarded Pan-Latin spot.
