Center City Hotel Guide

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is the "Birthplace of America" and the nation's first capital. A rich sense of history pervades the city; you'll notice it everywhere you go. Book a stay in one of the top-quality hotels near downtown Philadelphia, and the nation's past will be right on your doorstep.

Downtown Philadelphia

Start your visit with a trip back in time at Independence National Historical Park, in the heart of the downtown area. The park is known as "America's most historic square mile" and houses many buildings from the colonial days. It's here that you can see the National Constitution Center, where the Constitution was written and approved, and Independence Hall. Also in the park is Philly's most popular attraction, the cracked Liberty Bell. All the hotels in downtown Philadelphia are within walking distance, as is the rest of the Old City, where there are more historic buildings and museums.

There's plenty to do outside of downtown, too—Fairmont has some excellent museums, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Rodin Museum. While in the area, check out Fairmont Park, the largest city park in the United States. You can walk, run, play, or just relax. No visit to Philadelphia would be complete without sampling a famous Philly cheese steak sandwich, so head to South Street to try the tastiest in town. Philly is an easy city to get around, and most of the attractions are a short walk or bus ride from one another and the best cheap hotels near downtown Philadelphia.

The Windsor Suites

"Orbitz is the worst. They have screwed up their last reservation for me. And Windsor Suites have earned my business for ANY trip I ever have to take to Philadelphia in the future. My plans changed and Orbitz wanted to charge me in excess of $200 to cancel my $145 hotel room. Through the Orbitz portal I sent a "direct message" to The Windsor Suites that I would be a day late. Orbitz does NOT forward messages on to the hotel I learned. I was cancelled as a no-show. The Windsor Suites staff recognized my predicament, and even though my room reservation had been cancelled, and the only room avaiable was a suite that was 3x the rack rate of the room I reserved, they moved me into the more expensive room -- and at a LOWER rate than what Orbitz had quoted for a standard suite. The room was roomy, clean, well stocked, quiet, and comfortable. This was Orbitz's last chance as I have had multiple reservation problems over the years. In the future, I will use them to search for a hotel and rate, but ALWAYS call the property directly."

"Usually don’t have an issue with this, but at the time staff was picking. Made it loud and difficult coming out of the building while picking up the leave we found someone else’s underwear behind our towels."
