This was on the list of hotels within walking distance of the office where I worked this week. The extra bonus here is that it's also a short walk to many restaurants and historic attractions such as the liberty bell. Aside from the great location, the hotel itself is not generic like a chain hotel, it has character and a... More

My husband and I love staying at the Penn's View Hotel. It reminds us of the elegant, quaint hotel we stayed in on our honeymoon in Paris. The moment you walk in, you are greeted at the front desk by the lovely and refined Adrienne. Antonio, the concierge, goes out of his way to make sure you are comfortable and... More

I'm writing this review a bit late since my boyfriend and I stayed here in December, but better late than never! The staff of this hotel was amazingly warm and helpful. They even gave us a map and highlighted interesting things to see and do. They let us check in early which was great because it was snowing and raining... More

I had to return to my hometown for a college reunion. Most of the hotels were booked months in advance because of a medical convention, and a friend of mine from school found this place. My stay was great and I loved the old style decor of the place. This place is great for a short stay in the city.... More

Nearly everything about Penn's View was exceptional and exactly what I was looking for for my out-of-town wedding guests. Having grown up in Philly (now in SF), I wanted a hotel that was in an area that was walkable for most tourist sites and where people wouldn't necessarily need a car. The location is perfect. Reserving a block of rooms... More
