The hype
Travelers adore the staff and the 'living room' lobby vibe, but many note the rooms are feeling a bit 'tired' with scuffed furniture or worn carpets.

Запазете го, ако You want a pet-friendly, art-deco crash pad in the absolute center of Philly's best neighborhood without the stuffiness of the Rittenhouse Hotel.
Защо хората я обичат
- Zero pet fees (and no size/breed restrictions)
- Free wine hour every day from 5-6 PM in the lobby
- Location is unbeatable—steps from Rittenhouse Square and Walnut Street shopping
Бързо резюме: A stylish, high-energy boutique hotel that's starting to show a few wrinkles in the rooms but makes up for it with killer service and vibes.
Преглеждано от @lifeofcaithy: I checked into the Kimpton Palomar for a much-needed reset and it was exactly what I needed. The Spa Suite’s massive jetted tub is a total game-changer after walking around Philly all day. Plus, the Art Deco design is just stunning in person.

Чистота и поддръжка

- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though recent reviews mention 'tired' details like ripped curtains or worn carpets.
- Bathroom hygiene: Mostly sparkling, but watch out for 'drips' and the occasional grout issue in older tubs.
- Maintenance: Showing age. Reports of peeling paint, slow drains, and the infamous drafty windows in spa rooms.
- Linens & towels: High point. Frette linens are crisp, soft, and consistently praised.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells amazing (signature scent). Rooms are generally fresh, though some lower floors catch street smells.

Често задавани въпроси и скрити съвети
Всичко, което наистина трябва да знаеш, преди да резервираш.
Is it really pet friendly?
Yes, genuinely. No fees, no size limits, and they provide bowls, beds, and even a 'Barkcuterie' board.
Does the gym have a Peloton?
No. It has cardio machines with individual TV screens, but no Peloton bike. There is a Peloton showroom nearby if you're desperate.
How much is parking?
Valet is roughly $71/night with in/out privileges. Self-parking garages nearby (like InterPark at 1728 Sansom) are half the price.
Is there a pool?
No pool on site. If you need a swim, look at the Four Seasons or the Fitler Club (if you can get in).
What is the resort fee?
It's called a 'Guest Amenity Fee', costs ~$32.58/night, and covers wifi, local calls, and the evening wine hour.
Is breakfast included?
Usually no. Breakfast at Square 1682 runs about $21 for an omelet or $29 for steak and eggs.

5 неща, които трябва да знаете преди да отидете
💡The neon-painted Benjamin Franklin busts in the lobby are a weirdly specific selfie spot.
💡The 'Spa' rooms have a window *inside* the shower that isn't well-insulated, turning the bathroom into an icebox in January.
💡Housekeeping can be hit-or-miss with 'missed spots' like dust on baseboards or under beds.
💡The elevators can be agonizingly slow during peak checkout times.
💡They have a 'Guppy Love' program where they'll bring a live goldfish to your room upon request.
