Concierge "The central location makes this a business traveler's dream, so don't be surprised to witness some expense-account posturing in the Vault cigar lounge."
Fodor's "You'll feel like you're checking into the Pantheon when you enter this neoclassical hotel set in a century-old bank building." Full review

Be sure to spend some magical time exploring Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens, a dream world of colorful mosaics, tunnels and grottos that house a community art center.

"The Ritz is housed in a stunning 1904 bank building designed after the Pantheon, and its grand rotunda lobby delivers serious "wow" factor." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This exquisite, five-diamond luxury hotel sits directly across from City Hall in the former Girard/Mellon Bank Building."

Gayot "Visitors are inevitably stunned by the architectural splendor found both inside and out of the Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia."
BlackBook "The rooms, service and ambiance are of course unmatched, and even stopping by for a post-dinner desert at the cathedral-like lobby bar will make you feel more well-heeled than you should."

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."

"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
