My husband and I recently spent 2 nights at the Morris House Hotel. It was conveniently located across the street from Wills Eye Institute where my husband was having eye surgery. We stayed in a suite which was very roomy and had a kitchenette. Although this is a historic building, the rooms had been nicely updated. We were not in the main building which gave us privacy. The outside door to the building we were in was accessed with a key so it felt secure. The rooms were exceptionally clean and well maintained.

The staff was very accommodating, especially Lowell at the front desk. Room rates were very reasonable and included what was described as a continental breakfast. I expected coffee and a roll but the breakfast selection was very generous as well as diverse. It included quiche, fresh fruit, and a charcuterie as well as the usual cereals and sweet rolls.

Dinner at their restaurant M was fine dining with a lovely atmosphere. I would certainly recommend this hotel and restaurant. I hope to stay here again but this time for a getaway to Philadelphia.

The Morris House Hotel is one of the most beautiful gems in a prime location in downtown Philadelphia.
The Morris House sits street front at 225 South 8th Street and is only steps away from all the historical tourist attractions.
The staff is extremely attentive and will see to your every need.
Be aware, there is no elevator, but the staff will carry your bags to the most gorgeous room to which you have been booked.
Walbert and Lowell were especially helpful during my stay at the hotel.
The rooms are amazing. Mine was not in the main house, but just a few steps across the beautiful bricked courtyard. I had a gorgeous bedroom and a sitting room that overlooked the city. The bathrooms are so spacious and beautifully done with tiled floors, tons of counterspace for your makeup bag, etc.
Everything was pristine clean and guess what!? You get homemade ginger cookies on your pillow everyday.
The breakfast is amazing. Everything made in the hotel kitchen which includes a beautiful Quiche, lovely cheeses, fresh fruit, homemade pastries, breads and homemade jellies, honey...and herbal teas.
There are so many lovely restaurants near the hotel...be sure to ask the concierge their suggestions for an unforgetable dinner.
The Wilkes Eye Institute is right across the street and the Pennsylvania Hospital is a couple blocks away and around the corner on Pine Street.
You will find upscale shopping just steps away from the hotel and don't miss out on dinner at Talula's Garden right behind the hotel.
I cannot recommend this gorgeous hotel enough!

Absolutely delightful. From the moment I walked through the door the staff made me feel welcomed and comfortable. The concierge took the time to take me through the history of the building, which for a visitor not only to Philadelphia but to the USA was wonderful and most welcome.
The room we stayed in was just gorgeous, I really have nothing but praise for The Morris House Hotel.

My friend and I really enjoyed our stay at Morris House Hotel. The rooms were nice and kind of charming. Rooms out to the street are not noisy, breakfast was great. Once we went to have breakfast at the restaurant, once we enjoyed room service, which was really nice. The only improvement I would recommend is a sign to find the hotel at night. We got a little lost once driving circles until we found the hotel. All in all, I highly recommend this hotel.
