Staying at this historic Philadelphia property feels like stepping into a living love letter to the city’s past. The moment you enter, the air hums with quiet grandeur — a place where stories seem to linger in the hallways like the scent of fine wine. And speaking of wine — what a spread! It’s said to be the most extensive wine selection in the world, and after catching a glimpse, I have no reason to doubt it. My next visit will certainly be a toast to that collection! The building itself is architectural poetry — stately, timeless, and full of character. Even the doors to each unit are miniature works of art, polished portals into cozy sanctuaries that radiate old-world charm. But what truly elevates the experience is the warmth of the people. The Front Desk Clerk wasn’t just helpful — he is the heartbeat of hospitality, offering a welcome that felt like a true introduction to the spirit of Philadelphia. And then, the serendipity — the kind of moment that turns a great stay into a treasured memory: just beyond my window, the water shimmered, and suddenly, the night erupted in a dazzling 15–20 minute fireworks display. Pure magic, framed perfectly by the historic windowpanes of my room. A stay here isn’t just accommodation — it’s an experience stitched together with elegance, warmth, and surprise.

Great location and nice room. Would be nice if room had a fridge. Also the restaurant is very expensive. Would be nice to have a lower cost option that is for guest only.

This is a historic hotel in the waterfront district with loads of old charm. The rooms are simple, but clean and spacious, especially for a city hotel. I really liked the hardwood floors. The bed was very comfortable and the towels were nice and fluffy. There are lots of little coffee shops and restaurants nearby. We really liked Cuor di Caffe - excellent coffee and bites. This hotel is walkable to many of the major Philly sites and is walkable to public transportation. We enjoyed our weekend stay very much.
