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

Concierge "It's no longer the grandest quarters in town (that honor goes to the Rittenhouse), but empty nesters and business types still relish the traditional grandeur."
Lonely Planet "After a century of hosting Kings, Queens and other heads of state, this Victorian classic offers its guests opulence and a window to the past." Full review

Guests have access to The Sporting Club at the Bellevue, an enormous complex designed by Michael Graves where the governor of Pennsylvania chooses to get sweaty when he's in town.
DK Eyewitness "A residential-style hotel with international flair, the Hyatt is perched on the upper floors of the 100-year-old Bellevue Building, which was once nicknamed the “Grand Dame of Broad Street.”"
Star Service "Located in a vibrant central neighborhood, five blocks east of Rittenhouse Square, adjacent to the Opera House, around the corner from the Kimmel Center and a 20-minute stroll from the Liberty Bell." Full review
Gayot "Listed as a Historic Hotels of America by the National Historic Trust Preservation, this building simply oozes Old World charm."

""Old-world elegance, personified" sums up this "grand" 1904 hotel on the Avenue of the Arts, whose "wonderful", "professional" staff ensures it retains its "character and history"."
Frommer's "In 1904, this was the most opulent hotel in the country. Today, it can't claim that much fame, but the "Bellevue" does capitalize on its historic bones and great location." Full review
Fodor's "The hotel has had an important role in city life, much like the heroine of a long-running soap opera. " Full review
Travel + Leisure "Home to power lunches by day and formal affairs at night, this historic building’s hotel is situated in Philadelphia’s cultural hub." Full review
National Geographic "“Hushed and posh, the feeling of a Philadelphia society hotel." Full review
