Frommer's Review
It was rated the best hotel in Philly in the 2007 Zagat guide, has earned five diamonds from AAA, and has been named one of the top 20 U.S. hotels in Condé Nast Traveler: The Four Seasons' luxury is refined and understated. Built in 1983, Logan Square's eight-story horseshoe offers views of the exquisite Swann Fountain and a lush interior courtyard. Enormous masses of flowers, intimate seating areas, and honey-colored woods adorn the lobby, lounge, and promenade. Guest rooms have a rich American elegance courtesy of overstuffed chairs, rich carpets, and top-notch in-room business and tech capabilities. The bathrooms have a wonderful marble dressing area and excellent lighting. All the rooms have windows boasting marvelous views of Logan Circle or the interior courtyard; those on the seventh floor enjoy private verandas. Request a room that looks down the Parkway to the Art Museum and across to the Free Library, and you will be dazzled day and night.
The Four Seasons' restaurants collect major raves: Zagat rated the Fountain number one in Philadelphia and ranked it a top 10 in the country. Another great option is dining in the hotel's cafe room, which offers slightly more casual fare at about half the price of a Fountain dinner. The Swann Lounge has marble-top tables and a colorful, civilized look like something out of a Maurice Prendergast sketch. It's open for an extensive lunch, afternoon tea, and cocktails. Hidden in the hotel's day spa -- right across from the pristine indoor pool -- are amazing treatments with Philosophy, MD Skincare, and Naturopathica products.
