Best Hotels in Old City, Philadelphia

Set in the heart of Philadelphia's vibrant historic district, the Kimpton Hotel Monaco Philadelphia grants guests easy access to top attractions like Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. And that's not all this trendy Kimpton hotel has going for it. Guest rooms come equipped with 300-thread-count sheets, flat-screen TVs and antique furnishings juxtaposed with modern decor. This hotel also receives high praise from guests for its evening wine hours, in-room spa services and fully equipped fitness center. The property's restaurant, the Red Owl Tavern and the Stratus Rooftop Lounge, earn rave reviews from previous visitors as well. Meanwhile, IHG Rewards Club members can earn various perks and points by choosing to stay here. Just keep in mind that many of the hotel's amenities, especially the valet parking, include hefty fees.

The Renaissance Philadelphia Downtown Hotel sits within walking distance of one of the best green spaces in Philly. Plus this hotel puts you only steps away from popular tourist attractions like Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, not to mention some trendy restaurants and boutiques. For recent guests, however, one of the best things about this hotel is its welcoming staff and comfortable, large rooms. All accommodations boast premiere amenities like 42-inch flat-screen TVs, coffee makers, cozy robes, premium channels and complimentary wireless internet. Another major asset the hotel has going for it: Azalea Restaurant, which recent patrons applaud for its sophisticated atmosphere and delectable entrees (though they do suggest making reservations far in advance). The only complaint among a few previous visitors is the steep valet parking fee; however most report a pleasant stay overall. If you frequent Marriott properties and take part in their Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program, you may accrue or redeem extra benefits, such as free upgrades.
