This was the fanciest hotel I've ever stayed in. The suite with the jetted tub was an unknown pleasure I didn't realize I was missing. Nothing better than retreating to my room after a busy day in Philly and decompressing in the tub then having food from the restaurant brought up to the room. I will 100% stay here the next time I am in Philly.

We love all of the Kimpton hotels we have stayed in and this one did not disappoint! The building boasts gorgeous art deco architecture, the rooms are comfortable, the staff is friendly, and the bar/restaurant is terrific! Valet parking is a bit pricy but, considering that the hotel is right in the heart of Philadelphia, it is totally worth it! 5 stars all the way!
