DK Eyewitness "This boutique hotel has modern decor that adds a touch of European charm. It has an excellent Center City location, just a couple of blocks from the theater district."
Gayot "Although it opened in 1998, this hotel was designed to reflect 1930s modern decor—you may feel as if you've traveled back in time to a cruise ship in the early 20th century."
BlackBook "The Alexander combines just the right amount of laissez-faire attitude and professionalism."
Fodor's "The well maintained rooms at this small hotel have an Art Deco feel." Full review

Condé Nast Traveler "Terrifically located off Rittenhouse Square, The Palomar injects a dose of liveliness into Philadelphia’s stodgy hotel scene." Full review

Gayot "At Hotel Palomar Philadelphia, don't hesitate to bring the whole crew."
Zagat3.7
""Attention to detail" is the hallmark of this "well-appointed" Kimpton in a restored 1929 art deco building with an atmosphere that comes off as the "definition of modern chic"."
Travel + Leisure "Housed in a 1929 Art Deco landmark known as the Architects Building, the Hotel Palomar has some of the coolest digs in Philly." Full review
