Why People Love It

8.1⭐768 reviews
  • Unbeatable location steps from the Franklin Institute and Art Museum
  • Assembly Rooftop Lounge offers the best Parkway views in the city
  • Spacious, art-filled rooms that feel less corporate than a standard Hilton

Quick Take: A polished, art-centric hotel that trades absolute quiet for a buzzing social scene and killer views.

Reviewed by @rufflife5: I took my family here for NYE and it was perfect. It used to be a Four Seasons, so the quality is top-tier but with a cool art-focused redesign. The location on the Parkway is unbeatable, and having an indoor pool for my daughter made the winter staycation a total win.

Guest Who Stayed Here Said

The hype

Guests love the 'Rocky' robes and the location, but often groan about the slow service at Urban Farmer.

Reality check

You're paying for the address and the vibe; don't expect white-glove service speed at the front desk or valet.

  • You're in town for the museums or a run up the Rocky Steps
  • You appreciate a hotel bar that's a destination in itself
  • You need a pet-friendly spot that treats dogs like royalty

Cleanliness & Maintenance

8.2
  • Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some guests report missed dusting in corners.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Bathrooms are usually sparkling, with nice tile work and clean grout.
  • Maintenance: Some wear and tear visible in hallways (scuffed walls, worn carpet edges).
  • Linens & towels: Towels are decent quality; the 'Rocky' robes are a soft, cozy highlight.
  • Odors & scents: Lobby smells expensive; hallways can occasionally smell a bit 'old building' musty.

Before you book

Good to know

  • No hidden 'resort fee', just the standard city taxes.
  • The 'Underground Spa' is excellent but small—book treatments well in advance.
  • The pool is heated and saline, but can get crowded with families on weekends.

What to pack

  • Running shoes for the inevitable Rocky Steps run
  • Smart casual outfit for the Assembly Rooftop (dress code enforced)
  • Earplugs if you're stuck on a lower floor

Room Genie

Best picks

  • Parkway View King for iconic sightlines of the Art Museum
  • Corner Suites for extra light and separation from hallway noise

Rooms to avoid

  • 2nd floor rooms facing the interior courtyard (often look at a wall/grassy patch)
  • Rooms directly near the elevator banks (high foot traffic)

Room Request Genie – copy & paste

“I'd love a room on a high floor (7th or above) facing the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Please avoid the 2nd floor courtyard/wall-facing rooms and anything directly adjacent to the elevator bank.”

FAQ & Hidden tips

Everything you actually want to know before you book.

Is the rooftop bar open to hotel guests without a reservation?

Technically yes, but it hits capacity fast. Guests get priority, but booking a table is safer.

How bad is the parking situation?

Expensive. Valet is ~$72/night. A cheaper self-park garage is about a block away on Cherry St (~$55).

Is the pool kid-friendly?

Yes, it's a heated indoor pool. It's popular with families, so don't expect a silent lap-swim.

Does the hotel have a free breakfast?

No. Urban Farmer serves breakfast, but it's pricey ($20-30/person) and service can be slow.

Is it walkable to Old City/Liberty Bell?

It's a hike (about 20-25 mins). You're closer to the Art Museum and Rittenhouse Square.

Can I bring my dog?

Yes! It's very pet-friendly with a $75 fee per stay. They even have dog bowls and treats.
