amazing central area near great restaurants and city parks
This spot is perfect for a weekend wanderer like me, with the University of Pennsylvania just a few steps away providing stunning views and vibrant campus life. The beautiful Rittenhouse Square is less than a 15-minute stroll for some relaxing greenery among the urban buzz.

Couple getaway that exceeded expectations
We had a killer view from our room and the staff at the front desk really went above and beyond. Especially Joe, he hooked us up with an upgrade and some Prosecco which set the vibe for our whole stay.
It wasn't exactly inexpensive, but I guess you pay for quality.

If you’re in the mood for some authentic Italian flavors, hit up Sotto Ristorante Italiano just a short stroll away. Their pasta will make you feel like you’ve been teleported to Italy! Also, don't sleep on that rooftop terrace for family hangouts—perfect spot to unwind. My room was a legit upgraded living space that didn’t just feel like a hotel.

The one-bedroom premium was really spacious and felt like a legit home. The indoor pool was an awesome way to wind down after exploring the city. Plus, the gym on the 28th floor had great equipment. Staff were super friendly and on top of things, making everything easy. Just wish there was a microwave for late-night snacks!
