DK Eyewitness "A luxurious and cozy B&B in a Philadelphia townhouse, La Reserve has elegant rooms with antiques and beautiful lamps."
Rough Guide "Lovely rooms, of which the two cheapest share a bathroom. The welcoming owner dishes up a modest-sized gourmet breakfast and dispenses loads of information."
Gayot "This hotel is known by many names—The Grand Dame of Philadelphia, to mention its most illustrious—and known to all for the elegant charm of its gracious host, W.J. Buchanan."
Frommer's "This elegant little bed and breakfast has been carved out of a pair of four-story 1850s townhouses in the southern reaches of the posh Rittenhouse neighborhood." Full review

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

Not For Tourists "Decent prices for the area."
Time Out "One of the greatest things about the Alexander Inn, open since 1998, is the variety of room types it offers." Full review
Frommer's "Simple, eminently affordable little rooms—ask for one with bay windows for a sitting nook, or a corner room, which are the biggest—help make this spot in Washington Square West popular." Full review

"Independent with a loyal gay following, this small boutique hotel offers personable service and Art Deco-inspired rooms at modest rates." Full review
