Frommer's Review
The "grande dame of Broad Street" -- in 1904 the most opulent hotel in the country -- remains a grand experience in a great location. Glitz- and glamour-wise, the Park Hyatt ranks nearly among the Four Seasons, the Rittenhouse, and The Ritz-Carlton. The dazzling marble-mosaic ground floor houses high-end retailers Tiffany & Co., Williams-Sonoma, and Polo/Ralph Lauren. Below the hotel are Pierre & Carlo Spa Salon, Zanzibar Blue jazz bar and restaurant, and a gourmet food court. A separate elevator lifts you to the domed 19th-floor registration area and foyer for the hotel restaurants. The rooms, occupying floors 12 to 17, are large and all slightly different, with wall moldings reproduced from the 1904 designs. Each spacious, 831-square-foot room boasts extra-large goose-down duvets, a writing desk, a round table, and four upholstered chairs. The bathrooms are marble and have TVs and illuminated mirrors. In the morning, the hotel serves complimentary coffee; in the evening, it switches to bubbly.
The hotel's aptly named Nineteen restaurant (guess what floor it's on) is worth a visit on its own. Adjacent to the hotel is the Sporting Club, 220-224 S. Broad St. (tel. 215/985-9875; www.sportingclubbellevue.com) one of Philadelphia's top health clubs, a Michael Graves-designed facility with 93,000 square feet of health club space, including a half-mile jogging track; a four-lane, 25m junior Olympic pool; full basketball, squash, and racquetball courts; and some amazing yoga, Pilates, and boxing classes. (Nonguests who are members of partner health clubs in other cities may purchase day passes for $15 each. Call to find out if you qualify.)
