What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Wallpaper* and AFAR.
The hotel rooms trade on the same blend of unfakeable historical atmosphere and even-better-than-the-real-thing retro-inspired contemporary design that you’ll find downstairs in the restaurant.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set on Front Street in Fishtown, steps from the elevated train, indie coffee roasters, craft breweries, and low-key live music venues.
The rooms
Spacious loft suites feature full kitchens, exposed brick, vintage rugs, curated vinyl turntables, and salvaged relics like clawfoot soaking tubs.
Wm. Mulherin’s Sons Restaurant & Bar
Wood-fired pizzas and handmade pastas emerge from an open oven beside exposed brick walls and dark timber booths.
Each room is uniquely designed while still keeping in stride with the property’s modern heritage feel; pre-existing architectural features have been accurately preserved…
How it began
Constructed in 1890 as an Irish family whiskey blending plant, the brick building sat dormant from Prohibition until its recent hospitality revival.
