“This stylish Philadelphia hotel impresses with its thoughtful repurposing of a former women's shelter, incorporating handcrafted details and unique objects throughout. I appreciate the cozy gym, infrared sauna, and heated swimming pool, plus on-site dining; in-room kitchenettes add flexibility. Its location allows easy access to both secluded relaxation and the vibrant restaurants and bars of the Fish Town area.”
