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.

"Overall I had an decent stay at the Sofitel Philadelphia. This hotel is a good deal when the rates are reasonable. The rooms are well comfortable and large and the beds were excellent. Where this hotel fell flat for me was the service and the overall property condition. Service was generally apathetic and inconsistent, especially when trying to add a night to my reservation. I was given a hassle about remaining in my same room which involved needing to get a manager to fix after I had been assured both on the phone and by the agent when I checked in that this would be no problem. It was resolved but with unnecessary headache and would've acted differently if I was told the truth. Regarding the condition of the property, while I appreciate the recently refreshed lobby area, the rest of the property is woefully dated and lacking in cleanliness. My bathroom, while generous in size, was covered in hair from the previous guest and overall condition of the furniture across the room was dated and worn. The hallways are also worn and the elevators are terrible, and on the date of checkout only one was working. The refresh downstairs needs to be carried throughout the property to the guest areas. Would I stay again? Depends on price, while it was a great deal during my two nights, it was double that on Saturday which prompted me to change hotels for my final night in town because this is definitely not a $500+ a night property. I would consider another stay at the right price point."
