One of the most historic cities in America, Philadelphia is an ideal place to spend a weekend - preferably a long one. Be sure to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, where the Constitution and Declaration of Independence were signed. Both are part of Independence National Historic Park. Philadelphia also boasts some outstanding art museums, including the Rodin Museum. The Franklin Institute Science Museum is one of many area attractions honoring the life and work of Benjamin Franklin, the city's most famous ambassador. After digesting all of that history, be sure you save room for a classic Philly cheese steak sandwich.

Travelling with extended family and young family members (6&9) for Memorial Day week. Arrived Wednesday evening to a wine and cheese reception. All Hotel staff were exceptionally friendly. The hotel itself is within walking distance to so many top must see attractions inc. the Liberty Bell, Ben Franklin museum and post office, American Revolution museum, to name a few. Food options within walking distance are also endless! Sonny’s for Philly cheesesteaks as recommended by front desk staff was excellent and the Lucha Cartel a few doors down was so good we ate there twice during our stay. The Mini fridge in our room was great for all the leftovers we accumulated during our short stay! The continental breakfast was a huge hit with the family including the liberty bell waffles! Biscuits and gravy was delicious. The rooms were just awesome. We had a room next to the elevator which first we were a bit concerned about noise and waking the kids up too early, but we didn’t hear a thing! Rooms were beautifully stocked/maintained. The building itself was stunning. The only think to be aware of is that parking was off site. It was right around the corner in a parking garage where we left the vehicle for the duration of our stay. Everything we were wanting to see was within walking distance or close to a hop-on/off bus pick up spot. We’ll be coming back for sure.

Find us in Center City, our micro-hotel is in the heart of downtown Philadelphia. We're two blocks from Rittenhouse Square and less than a mile from 30th Street Station (Amtrak), Love Park, and the Franklin Institute. The Philadelphia Museum of Art and Philadelphia Convention Center are also within walking distance.
It's a micro hotel, for sure, but they have a helpful staff, and modern accommodations for the location. We appreciate the instant help and how we could minimize contact when walking in and out. Also had a nice bar to boot, though could have used tying the coffee to the hotel room and/or allowing digital wallets.

The exceptional service was given by Treviare and Greg. I will definitely stay at the hotel when I come back to the area in November.

Delta Hotel by Marriott Philadelphia Airport offers newly renovated rooms and suites, a complimentary airport shuttle, a market for grab-and-go items, a bar/lounge, a fitness center and unique event venues for your Pennsylvania visit.
I stay at enough Marriott and Hilton properties each year to realize rooms are rooms and what really sets a hotel apart is the people. Tenisha took several calls from me about me stay and got my reservation and special requests situated easily, politely, and in such a warm and pleasant manner that I knew I’d love this location. I wasn’t wrong. It was a great stay. Thomas checked me in and was equally impressive. I sure wish that in my travels I dealt more with people like this hotel has. My room was spacious, quiet, clean, and so comfortable. Access to Philadelphia airport is so simple. I loved it here and will return each time I’m in the Philadelphia area.

I would like to thank Evan at the front desk for helping my family with quickly reserving a room and allowing us a good room rate. My young daughter is in the area for a much needed hospital visit and Evan helped us book a room quickly and in close proximity to where she was resting in the lobby. We will definitely stay here again because of Evan’s excellent customer service.

I loved everything about this hotel. Nicest staff, accommodating and flexible, clean rooms, good amenities. I asked for an early check in and they easily accepted it. Location is fantastic, right on 18th and market streets, though no noise front the streets at all. You're close to the business areas, but also to the great cultural and nightlife that Rittenhouse square offers. Amtrak is 12 minutes walk. I've stayed in 8 different hotels in Philly, but the Sonesta take the cake, easily, due to its fair pricing (priceline.com has great prices for this hotel), fantastic location and great rooms/amenities. Will definitely be back.

Check into creative spaces with bright colors and eclectic city views at Hyatt Centric Center City Philadelphia, then set out to discover Rittenhouse Square, Center City’s most notable neighborhood replete with tree-filled parks, outdoor sculptures, revered architecture, and an easygoing vibe. Stay steps from lauded dining, novel shopping, and a lively nightlife at our hotel.
Our stay here was great. I am always concerned about the cleanliness of where I stay. It's usually hard to find a hotel that meets my standards. I am so happy I decided to stay here. The hotel is very clean! I could actually smell the cleaning products (not in an overwhelming way). The beds are so comfortable! The staff was nice and helpful. I would definitely stay here again!
