“Customer Service use to be the foundation of hotels.”

Reviewed 2 days ago NEW via mobile

I have to first start off that this property is clean and the decor is somewhat of a nice direction. But I have to take points away regarding customer service during my Sunday evening. 15 minutes on hold to only ask about having a vehicle in valet brought around is unreasonable and not professional. There are some other small things... More

The hotel and service are the best. We were with priceline so sometimes you don't get treated as well. The front desk staff did not mention we booked with a 3rd party. We checked in got a free glass of champagne and were off to the Reading Terminal Market (go to By George) Hotel room was lovely, bed comfortable, and... More

“Best business trip yet!”

Reviewed 5 days ago NEW

Stayed at the Palomar for a business conference and found myself in a one bedroom spa suite. The room was great, very clean and inviting. The decor was modern and tasteful. Loved the sliding/barn doors. Made use of the spa tub and couldn't have been happier. Wi-fi worked perfectly. Only downside to the room was the bed. Beautiful to look... More

Thank Amber A

Amber A - Thank you for choosing the Palomar! Glad we could help you relax while attending your conference in Philadelphia. It sounds like you hit some of the highlights (cheesesteaks, Walnut Street shopping, Rocky Steps and Liberty Bell - maybe?). We're looking into some options to announce our presence better, but we're confined by some of the business district... More

If you like to travel with pets, this is the place for you and your furry friends. Pros: Great location! Safe area and great walking distance for touring the city, shopping and grabbing a delicious bite to eat. We walked from the Liberty Bell to the hotel and to/from everything that we did. Again the hotel is in a great... More

TrulyFerrell - Thanks for choosing the Palomar. Hard to beat the Rittenhouse Square location. It's definitely the most popular spot in the city, for two- and four-legged guests. One of the hallmarks of a Kimpton hotel is our pet friendliness. We try to make it well known through our website, noted under amenities, and frequently in the comments here. Sorry... More

“Still the Best in Phiily - Bar None”

This was my third business stay at the Palomar. I didn’t think I would be writing another trip advisor report but the service was so excellent I thought it was worthwhile. As my prior reports indicated everything about this hotel is great. I would not consider another hotel in Philly as each stay is better than the last. The room... More

Went here on an extremely hot weekend. They had wine and champagne in the lobby every evening. The staff is amazing. Assisted with dinner reservations. Special accommodations for the baby and always taking care of the room with extra towels and little snacks and waters. Being a hot summer weekend they were very patient with everyone and I can not...

infernocouture - Thank you for staying with us. Someone in marketing has billed us as an oasis in the heart of Center City. Beneath the poetry of that lies our goal: keep you relaxed and insulated from the heat, cold, noise, busy-ness that is outside our walls. We're thrilled if we can do that with just a little champagne, wine,... More

Super location, sincerely friendly staff, comfortable rooms. We trained in from the airport, walked a few minutes from Suburban Station to the Palomar. Staff made us feel welcome immediately. Walked to dinner, breakfast, parks, neighborhoods, historic sites.

“Nice hotel. Small rooms”

We thoroughly enjoyed our mid-August stay. The wine hour is a nice touch, as was the "trail mix" bar in the morning and complimentary coffee. Comfortable beds. Clean room. My tip to fellow travelers would be to use a parking app to find cheaper parking. We did as my husband didn't mind the walk to save some money. We like... More

Mrs T - Thank you for choosing the Palomar. We pity the fools who can't find some great food in Philadelphia. JJ's is a nice choice, and there are some terrific spots in Chinatown (a 15 minute walk). There are multiple self-park lots within a few blocks of the hotel. If you're planning on parking and leaving your car for... More

“Friendly Boutique Hotel”

I stay at this small chain (Kimpton) whenever I have the chance. I am particularly fond of the Palomar in Philadelphia. They are one of the few dog friendly hotels that I know that REALLY means it and go out of their way to show it. The staff is wonderful and always ask if there is anything they can do... More
