First, let me start, I really have had nothing but negative experiences in Philadelphia over the last 30 years. So, I normally avoid this like the flu. However, my God Son got married there over the St. Patrick's weekend so off we went.
When we were in a traffic jam- there is always a traffic jam- our Garmin fried and we had to call Consierge who cheerfully assisted and got us there. Sign in front almost impossible to see as you approach.
Upon arrival we were greeted by the Valet staff- car taken to parking and then the Bell person Jonathon took over from there. It was afternoon reception and he secured complimentary glasses of wine for us before we even got checked in. Well, that was the story of the HOSPITALITY for our entire stay.
Everyone - everywhere - treated us like we were family they had not seen for some time.
The rooms are city hotel size, so not huge but very comfortable, very clean, they smell great, and are completely comfortable.
They have coffee etc. in the Lobby in the morning- the coffee is really good and they freshen often- great bag tea selection also.
We enjoyed dinner from In Room Dining the first night and the food was quite good- hot food was piping hot and cold food well chilled. The flavors were right on. Seared Salmon with Red Quinoa/ grilled Anise and Catch of the Day (shrimp, octopus, scallops/ papradelle pasta and broth, both were very tasty. We ordered the Truffle Popcorn to be our dessert- it was OK but not very much truffle. But, the next day in the Lounge it was great- mucho truffle- you should try it. They even delivered an extra chair to the room so we could both be comfortable while dining.
Very Civilized.
I have always laughed at the "City of Brotherly Love" because it is anything but that. However, we will return since we now know about this Hotel.
While we did experience a problem which was not the Hotel's fault Eric the Manager on Duty even took care of that for us.

We are making plans to go back already.

We stayed in the 1 bedroom suite. I called ahead to request a non-pet room as it is a pet friendly hotel. The hotel is conveniently located right in the center of town. Street parking was nearly impossible to find, but valet service was excellent. Room was a tad small, but clean. Bathroom was unnecessarily large for the space. We had a corner suite so it was very quiet.

Greeted like we were friends, fluffy robes, a spot by the fire in the lobby and flowing wine set the stage for a romantic and lovely stay-cation this past weekend. For In-Touch members, you can raid the mini-bar (up to $10 comped) and enjoy free WiFi. The vibe is warm and inviting, but just buzzy enough to make you feel a little bit hipper than usual, and the location was sublime, within walking distance to MANY great places. (We highly recommend trekking a few blocks to enjoy the piano bar at Dalia's Lounge on Lombard for the perfect ending to a romantic night.) Kimpton delivers again!

We visited Philadelphia before travelling on through Pennsylvania. The hotel was recommended by our travel agent and it suited us just fine. We arrived by taxi, so not a problem in getting out right in front of the hotel. The door staff and reception were very friendly and efficient and we were in our room in no time at all and with no fuss, and also in time for the nightly wine event. The room was spacious with good facilities and the bathroom was clean and well stocked with everything you would need, I particularly liked the lighting in the room as it could be dimmed as required, in particular I liked this in the bathroom! We then took ourselves off to the nightly wine hour, which was a nice touch, and gave us a chance to chat to some other guests and plan our activities. We stayed for four nights and the wine hours were much busier on weekends and did become a bit noisy and cramped, but it was fun anyway. We ate breakfast in the hotel every day and the staff were friendly, courteous and the food was ok too, perhaps a bit pricey but more convenient than going out for breakfast. The hotel itself is a beautiful building and very nicely designed with some interesting artworks too and feel like a boutique hotel. Despite the fact that the hotel was very central and on a busy road we slept really well and had no problem with noise from outside or from other rooms, which was a great relief! The hotel is in a great location to access central Philadelphia and close to many bars and restaurants and I would recommend it as a base if you are in Philly. We didn't have a car so can't comment on parking or valet service but everything else was good about this hotel, and the staff were very friendly and helpful too.
