What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Guest rooms and suites have a chic, understated feel—plush drapery, detailed millwork, honed marble floor tiles—with the historic feel preserved through the restoration.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set along the Avenue of the Arts, the hotel sits steps from the Kimmel Center and a short walk from Rittenhouse Square.
The rooms
Hardwood floors and ornate ceiling moldings frame the upper-floor bedrooms, accented by framed fragments of the building's original wallpaper.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool and baths
A 25-meter indoor lap pool sits alongside hot and cold plunges, steam rooms, and a Finnish sauna.
The gym
An indoor running track rings the fitness floor above functional turf and a full-size basketball court.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Mr. Edison pours cocktails beneath sculpted chandeliers in the lobby, and 19th-floor Pergola looks out over Center City.
How it began
Conceived by hotelier George Boldt in 1904, the French Renaissance landmark has anchored Broad Street for more than a century.
