The hype
Guests love the modern design, central location, and stunning views, but frequently complain about the noise and service inconsistencies.
W Philadelphia
$200-350 / gabi
I-book ito kung Book this if you want a trendy, high-energy luxury stay with panoramic city views and a rooftop pool right in the heart of Center City.
Bakit Ito Minamahal ng Mga Tao
- Floor-to-ceiling windows with incredible skyline views
- Year-round heated rooftop pool and WET Deck
- Extremely comfortable, plush signature beds
Mabilis na Sumisid: It's a gorgeous, Instagram-worthy property, but the weekend nightclub vibe and thin walls can easily ruin a good night's sleep.
Sinuri ng @selinagissele: My stay at the W Philadelphia was the ultimate urban escape. The moody lighting and premium Davines bath products made it feel so exclusive, but watching the sunset over the skyline right from my bed was the absolute highlight. Worth every penny for a romantic getaway.
