Heart of Historic District

It is 295 feet from Washington Square Park, 0.3 miles from Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, and 0.1 miles from Walnut Street Theater. The Pennsylvania Convention Center and Reading Terminal Market are 0.8 miles away. Jefferson Station (regional rail) is 0.6 miles from the property.
Personalized Guest Services
24-hour concierge service assists with local recommendations and arrangements. A guest business workstation with computer and printer is available. Valet parking is offered at a garage across the street for $42 per 24 hours. Daily housekeeping services include triple-sheeted bedding and thorough cleaning of all surfaces. The hotel accommodates additional guests in specific suites for an extra fee of $25 per night.
“Here's a property that stands apart, a colonial-era building that feels more like a New England B&B than a big-city hotel. The staff's dedication clearly elevates the experience, and the inclusion of breakfast, a coffee station, and even bathrobes in the rooms are thoughtful touches. For travelers seeking intimate charm and historical resonance, this would be my first choice in Philadelphia.”
