Good area. However wlwvator got stuck on us. THEN- we went to our room. Room 503. Smelled awful. 1/4 of the carpet was soaked. They sent someone up. They said air conditioner leaked. Only room with 2 queen beds so we were stuck. Couldn’t walk around soaked carpet. And the smell was awful!!! Felt so dirty. Disappointed

The hotel was very clean. We used the gym and the pool. The interior design was very posh. We even ate breakfast in the hotel restaurant. A great hotel for the price. Plus it was in historic Philadelphia which made tourists trips very easy to plan and access. I would stay there again.

The Renaissance Philadelphia has so much potential, but needs some more attention from parent company, Marriot. The positives…great location by Independence Hall and Olde City; and large spacious rooms. Unfortunately that’s where the positives end. The hotel strangely feels like it’s abandoned, the energy feels off. The lobby/bar/restaurant space is so large and impressive, but again doesn’t live up to potential. There is a lack of hotel personnel and no one seems happy to work there. Maybe some lovely music would create better energy and more buzz. The night I was there, they had a singer performing but no one was there to watch. I think some more Marketing and PR would be beneficial. The hotel was fine, but could just be so much more with a little TLC. This review is not about bashing The Renaissance, just a recommendation that a little revamp would go a long way!
