“Surprise!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 1, 2012 via mobile

Great new clean hotel. Hip vibe and great design. Service was tremendous and so was the room. Beautiful shower, sitting room and views of the liberty bell from my windows. This has to be the nicest hotel in Philladelphia.

“A Nice Treat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 1, 2012

My sister and I stayed at the Hotel Monaco 11/9-11/10 for a "sister's bonding weekend". The hotel is funky and modern. You can see the attention to detail in every design. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. "T" must stand for The man that does everything. He welcomed us to the hotel, opened doors, took our bags up to the room, explained the lay out of the hotel and directed us downstairs for the wine hour. He is truly an outstanding employee that makes your stay memorable. I will definitely return!!!!

Room Tip: Any room is a good room!!

“A fabulous hotel..”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012

We stayed at the Hotel Monaco over the Thanksgiving weekend. The hotel exceeded our expectations! The location can not be beat for touring the historic area. In addition, the rooms were beautifully furnished and the beds were extremely comfortable. We are all light sleepers and found the hotel very quiet. The housekeeping staff was very attentive. One day, my daughter received a note from the housekeeping staff about a book she was reading. She hope my daughter enjoyed the book as much as she had. Room Service was delicious and very well price compared to other hotels. We hope to return to the Hotel Monaco!

“Great friendly place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 26, 2012 via mobile

When we pulled up we were welcomed immediately by T who set the tone for an enjoyable three day weekend. Each staff member contributed to our feeling comfortable and special. We enjoyed the nightly wine reception the excellent food in the restaurant and the amazing location. This is truly an exceptional hotel.

Hi Smarcy2,

Wow that’s 2 in a row for T and his exceptional service. I will be sure to give him praise; in fact I think we may just promote him to Hotel Manager. Happy to see you guys had a wonderful trip and can’t wait to welcome you back.

Cheers,

“Suited us to a "T"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

As soon as the doorman, named simply T, greeted our cab, I knew we were going to like this place. He ran over to my street facing side of the taxi and said "no one has to slide over on my watch" and held my arm as I de-cabbed. He made us stop at a pole covered in rope and rub our hands on it "for wealth and good fortune." He announced us to the receptionist as if we were VIPS. Throughout our trip he was a friendly face and a helping hand. Oh, by the way, the hotel is lovely; the rooms charmingand comfortable; the service gracious and efficient; the location convenient to many attractions; the work out room huge;, the complimentary wine from 5-6 a welcome treat; the restaurant, the Red Owl, truly excellent(chicken pot pie is amazing); the roof top lounge, Stratis, elegant and relaxing; and the free wifi and $10 credit for the mini-bar just for joining the Kimpton club, two nice lagniappes, But it is because of T that we will return to the Monaco the next time we visit Philly.
