Very beautifully designed modern hotel with easy access to Penn and Drexel. Very short walk to 30th street station for Amtrak. Rooms are very comfortable and thoughtful with wireless phone chargers and latest in-room technology. Love staying here and the restaurant is another plus.

Very nice
Really nice property conveniently located. A couple of quirks: rooms don’t generally have coffeemakers so you have to request them. And there were miscommunications around that. Also no ice bucket in room, you have to go request one in the restaurant. Also not clear on check in if there is a gym available. I got the impression that folks who stay there are either with conferences that are organizing everything for them, or that they stay there often. Anyway. All the staff are lovely.

The staff is absolutely incredible, especially the doorman. the bed was extremely comfortable. The only downside is parking. It seemed that there was no overnight parking in the area (if there was, I could not find it), so valet was pretty much your only option. I will definitely be returning.

The Study is beautifully designed. Sitting in the lobby was lovely. I appreciated the complimentary coffee and tea in the morning, and the free newspapers -- what luxury to sit in a lovely room watching people come and go. My breakfast in the hotel restaurant was very good. The room was beautiful, as well, and had a little study with a great selection of books on the shelves. Lots to dip into! This is my new favorite hotel. I'll defintiely return.
