The property is always well maintained and has the quirkiest design details that highlight in the best way possible, Philadelphia's place as a site for the founding of this nation.

Room itself

Pros: Friendly staff
Cons: Maybe better insulation at the window facing the alley for room 307?
Location: Good location, walk to restaurants, museums, historic sights.
Hotel in central location with pleasant/efficient staff. Decor is typical Kimpton. Room (307) smelled (lightly) of exhaust, was facing an alley in which deliveries were being made at early hours, and the noise of the trucks was disturbing. Was expecting better.

Thank you for the review! We're happy you enjoyed the friendly staff, but it looks like your room location was certainly less than ideal. We'd love to get you on a higher floor next time you're with us!

Thank you for the review! We're happy you enjoyed our stay and convenient city setting, but a little disappointed to see that our city setting resulted in a delay for your car. We appreciate the feedback!

Fun weekend in Philadelphia

Pros: Clean quiet and comfortable. Good location
Location: Close to so much.. about a mile to the historic district . Lots of restaurants, shopping etc also could walk to the art museum, the Barnes etc
The hotel is ideally located... in walking distance to historic district, lots of great restaurants, parks, and Christmas festivities. The room was clean and quiet, and very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and enormously helpful. The happy hour was so nice, popping open bottles of wine and hot cider. Met lots of nice guests. All staff were exceptional... I don’t think we opened one door ourselves.

Location and Service-- Unbeatable

Pros: Location, facilities and service
Cons: The water pressure in the shower...
Location: Shop till you drop and walk walk walk
We stayed at the Kimpton Palomar over Thanksgiving break and we had a wonderful time 2 kids and 2 dogs included. Two words here: location and service! The hotel is located near Rittenhouse Square, steps away from historic Philly and all of the shops and restaurants and also access to the museums. But Service was also exceptional. Everyone from the reception desk to the house keeping were above and beyond nice and service oriented. The room was extremely comfortable and clean and the hotel was quiet and homy. Friday and Saturday nights we were greeted in the lobby by a complimentary wine happy hour with popcorn for the kids. The restaurant was delicious and we will definitely be staying there again.

Great service, great location

Location: We were able to take scenic walks to the Liberty Bell/Independance hall, Rocky steps, and Jim's Steaks (known for Philly cheesesteaks)
Nice hotel close to the main attractions in Philadelphia. We were able to walk to the Liberty Bell/Independance hall, Rocky steps, and delicious restaurants (e.g., Jims steaks). The in house restaurant has nice food and a laid back comfortable atmosphere. Duck and filet mignon were good. It has a small bar with TVs for sports/news but sound not on. Hotel was clean and staff was polite and helpful. Our room had a great view of the city which we could be enjoyed from the bath. There's a parking garage right by the hotel on Sansom St.
