Sheraton Society Hill

Frommer's Review

Three blocks from Head House Square, 4 from Independence Hall, this short, unassuming, hotel is popular among business travelers and families alike (kids are particularly fond of the splashy indoor pool). The Sheraton Society Hill sits on an unusually quiet stretch of a tree-lined cobblestone street, on a triangular 2 1/2-acre site between Dock and South Front streets. The modern building was designed in keeping with the area's Georgian architecture and Flemish Bond brickwork, with a skylit, four-story atrium whose fountain and plants recall a lush, private courtyard in spring.

The guest rooms are on the long, low second, third, and fourth floors (the only Delaware River views are from the fourth floor). Rooms are a bit smaller than you'd expect (as are the bathrooms); half have one king-size bed and the others have two double beds. Rooms are furnished in serious, Drexel Heritage mahogany, with an upholstered love seat and chair, and glass-and-brass coffee tables. In each bathroom, dark marble tops the vanity, and bathrobes are provided.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; lounge and courtyard bar; indoor pool (daily 6am-10pm); small health club w/trainers; Jacuzzi; sauna; concierge; free weekday shuttle van to Center City; superior meeting facilities; 24-hr. room service; laundry service
