Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved this hotel. It was clean all around, local to almost everything walking distance. The rooftop pool was amazing. I would definitely recommend this place. I will be staying here again!"

Sofitel Philadelphia at Rittenhouse Square

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel in the Rittenhouse / Center City Area. We spent a fabulous 4 days at this hotel during the amazing 250th Independence Day celebrations. We were able to walk EVERYWHERE from going to the Art Museum for the fireworks (35 minutes) to the Old City Liberty Bell / Independence Hall (25 minutes) while perusing amazing architecture - new and old - shops and GREAT restaurants. Sofitel was such an oasis from all the walking with lively bar and lobby, relaxing spacious rooms, and delicious dining options for breakfast / brunch / lunch / afternoon tea / dinner. Superb staff like Muhammad the bellman, he pulls your luggage out while you are checking out. Umbrellas available all the time. Rooms are so clean and cleaned everyday, and oh the Balmain lotions / shampoo / conditioner / body wash - divine!! Love the food & beverage credits allowing you to try out their wonderful food options. We saw other lobbies of other nice hotels, many that were oddly on the second floor, but this lobby was inviting as soon as you step in. And amazing restaurants within a few blocks."

Loews Philadelphia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our first stay at a Lowes Hotel, loved that they took a historic building & transformed it while keeping the historic nature of the property. Our room was lovely, great bathroom fixtures & maintenance. The elevators were a bit slow, but they are also historic. We were in town for America / Freedom 250 not a convention as it seems is the majority of the property. We did not eat at the restaurant but took advantage of the coffee shop which was convenient, well stocked with nice staff members. We are from Arlington TX & have 2 soon 3 Lowes Hotels that we attend events at but have never stayed as they are in our hometown. They are beautiful properties so we knew Philadelphia would be the same."
