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
Jetsetter "Old World class with a thoroughly modern spa, bistro and bar on Philly’s main drag." 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."
Star Service "This hotel captures first place when it comes to high-octane commercial hospitality." Full review
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."

"The 243-room Inn at Penn may be a Hilton, but it feels far more like a boutique hotel than a chain." Full review
Gayot "Rather than offering a stiff, formal, hotel-away-from home experience, this property offers the kind of atmosphere you'd expect to find when staying with friends."

"With a "men's club feel" and iPads provided for guests' use, there's a "perfect blend of old-school university hotel and modern amenities" at this "comfortable" inn at Penn."
Fodor's "Near the University of Pennsylvania, this hotel is a welcome sight for anyone needing to stay in University City." Full review
Afar Magazine "The 243 guestrooms and suites are classy, efficient, and relatively spacious, though it’s worth upgrading to a suite for a separate sitting area." Full review
National Geographic "Hilton property with art deco styling on the University of Pennsylvania campus, 238 rooms feature luxuriant bedding, plush robes, and in-room virtual office; wine bar and 24-hour fitness center." Full review
Lonely Planet "The Hilton hotel sits on the U Penn campus. The modern, comfortable rooms still have a classy old-world vibe. Prices double on weekends that have any U Penn-related event." Full review
Lonely Planet "This Hilton hotel is a fail-safe option at the heart of University City. Rooms are comfortable, if unspectacular, and come with iPads. It's a popular choice come graduation time" Full review
