Fodor's "In the middle of the city's French Quarter, this luxury hotel has more of a hip feeling than some of its stuffier Federal-style neighbors." Full review

Frommer's "Great for large groups who want to stick together.... My favorite part of the complex is the indoor pool, which overlooks the river and a dock full of old seafaring vessels." Full review

Art Deco-themed rooms offer stupendous views of the riverfront or city, but traffic noise does percolate up, so choose a river-view room if quiet is important to you.
DK Eyewitness "This upscale property on Penn’s Landing is Philadelphia’s only waterfront hotel."
Zagat3.7
"There are "no bad views from any room" at this "top-shelf" hotel overlooking the Delaware River and Penn's Landing, but some gripe it's "a little far from the action"."
Star Service "Located just off Race Street, this remains the only waterfront hotel in the area, a foreboding 22-story limestone tower that rises from the shore like a miniature Empire State Building. " Full review
Gayot "Sitting on the shores of the Delaware River, the Hyatt Regency Pennâs Landing affords spectacular views from many of its rooms."
Fodor's "Contemporary, well-sized guest rooms feature iPod docks and safes that can fit–and charge–laptops." Full review
Time Out "The stunning panoramic waterfront views guarantee the Hilton Philadelphia at Penn’s Landing a spot on our list." Full review
