Location

Bang on Penn’s Landing waterfront, you’re a breeze away from the likes of City Hall, PA Convention Centre, Blue Cross RiverRink Winterfest, and the lively South Street (loads of eats and indie shops to check out). Historic must-sees like the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Reading Terminal Market, and the madly popular Franklin Institute are all doable in half an hour. Footie fans and concert-goers are sorted too, with Lincoln Financial Field, Citizens Bank Arena, and Wells Fargo Centre just 10 minutes off. Race Street Pier’s ace for some outdoor chilling or a jog, and if you fancy hopping across the river, the RiverLink Ferry whisks you over to the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion and New Jersey hangouts. Airport’s a handy 16.7km away—so no faff when you land.

Rooms

Across ten floors, 184 rooms are kitted out in a modern style thanks to a recent glow-up in 2013, with six specially designed for disabled guests. Every room gives you a slice of those waterfront scenes, and offers tip-top comfort—wheelchair access and lifts make getting around an absolute doddle. All the standard bits and bobs are on hand for a cracking stay, whether you’re chilling for fun or bringing the kiddos along for the ride.

Food & Drink

Each morning kicks off with a complimentary Express Start Breakfast—cue a whopper buffet spread served in a snazzy breakfast spot. Whether you’re a full English fan or just after a quick bite, it’s a cracking way to fuel up for exploring Philly.

Sports & Entertainment

Feeling active? The gym’s perfect for keeping your fitness game strong, and the TV lounge has you covered for a bit of downtime or catching up with mates. That breakfast lounge pulls double duty for a lively start to the day, and being on the waterfront means Race Street Pier is just asking for a scenic stroll or run (your Insta pics will thank you).

Distance From Major Transportation Hubs

Philadelphia International Airport sits a decent 16.7km away, so you’ll be in and out with zero drama. The RiverLink Ferry is ace for bouncing across to the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion or checking out the New Jersey Waterfront—spot on for gig lovers or urban explorers.
