“Wow wee!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 22, 2013

My sister and I spent the weekend at hotel Monaco in Philadelphia. Wow wee. What a fab property! The best best best service I have experienced in a long time! And fun!! Congratulations to the designer of Monaco! Eye candy is the word I kept saying to my self if that was there goal they exceeded it.
Starting from the bell and door men to a flawless and gratuitous reception desk. The lobby was off the hook! Our room was so wonderful! The pictures on the web site are spot on. Housekeeping knocked on our door to ask if we needed anything else. When was the last time that happened without having to chase down staff for extra wash cloths? I compare all this attention equal to a Ritz and Four Seasons!
The restaurant Red Owl is very comfortable and culinarily creative. We did make it up to the roof top bar, a little young for us. I know we would of enjoyed the out side area during warmer weather.
From now on when I travel I will look for the Kimpton hotels!

“Monumental hit in philly!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 21, 2013

Cannot beat the location of this newly opened gem. Located directly across from the liberty bell and independence hall, the Monaco is a stylish retreat

The staff is engaging and friendly. The high design exhibited in the lobby carries upstairs into the hallways and into each guest room

Our queen queen room overlooked independence hall as promised with spacious rooms and nice sized bathrooms with etro toiletries

Nightly complementary wine happy hour in lobby are a great way to unwind after sightseeing

Be sure to check out the rooftop bar/ lounge

Be sure to sign up for the complementary kimpton group guest rewards program online - brings you free wifi and on site benefits

“We'll be back!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 21, 2013

We are two friends who live in different states and chose Philadelphia to meet in the middle for a weekend getaway. We wanted a hotel in a safe location but within walking distance to nearby attractions. One of us had stayed at the Kimpton Hotel in Baltimore, liked it a lot and decided to try Hotel Monaco.

All we can say is "Wow!" The ambiance, decor, cleanliness, service was just over the top. The staff was incredibly attentive ... Roshid, "T" and Jonathan were amazing.

Here's what we loved: free cocktail hour every night, coffee in the morning, pets are welcome.....puppies and wine... What could be better?

Kudos to Kimpton's VP of Design, Ave Bradley for her bold and unique design. Every space entertains and engages.

“Trendy new hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 21, 2013

Stayed at this hotel for two days. Great location in the historic district. The staff is very friendly and the hotel seems very popular as a meeting place. Like other Klimpton hotels, the decorations are trendy but the room was very nice and comfortable. Would stay again.

“a lot going on”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 20, 2013

there is trendy, and then there is this place. kinda crazy,

I mean its clean and the staff is nice, its just the decor is way too much. The reception desk kinda hurts to look at.

All the important stuff is positive... minus the 40 dollar valet parking. kinda thought that was a bit high... but what can you do?

Room Tip: try the print robes....just to giggle about it.
