Frommer's "The largest hotel in the state, and then some, the thrice-incarnated Philadelphia Marriott is high volume -- and surprisingly high service." Full review
Lonely Planet "Inspired views of City Hall and a position at the centre of Center City make this an appealing choice."
i
Though this hotel's higher floors have decent views in all directions, we highly recommend that you ask for a suite in the hotel's southwest corner.
Gayot "Located right across the street from City Hall, the Residence Inn by Marriott Philadelphia City Center provides spacious and comfortable suite accommodations."
Fodor's "Originally the Market Street National Bank, this building from the 1920s has a beautifully restored Art Deco facade." Full review
