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/ nuit
Réservez si 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.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- Floor-to-ceiling windows with incredible skyline views
- Year-round heated rooftop pool and WET Deck
- Extremely comfortable, plush signature beds
En bref : It's a gorgeous, Instagram-worthy property, but the weekend nightclub vibe and thin walls can easily ruin a good night's sleep.
Évalué par @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.
