Westin Philadelphia Review

The best reason to stay at this Westin is to get an amazing night's rest in town. This hotel, attached to Liberty One, one of the city's tallest buildings, is a bit higher priced than other Westins, but is a value compared to its luxury peers.

A small porte-cochere and a ground-floor entrance on 17th Street lead to elevators that lift you up to the main lobby, which is a series of living-room-like sitting rooms that serve wine and cheese nightly, plus a clubby bar and grill. Guest rooms are outfitted traditionally, and feature triple-sheeted, five-pillowed, extra-plush beds. (Even babies get bumper-protected cribs). Modern bathrooms include an oversize, dual-head shower, magnifying mirrors, and Brazilian cotton towels. The hotel also caters to the health-conscious, with a state-of-the-art fitness center and a concierge who offers maps and advice on nearby jogging routes.

Facilities:
Restaurant; lounge; airport transportation ($8); 24-hr. concierge; small exercise facility; room service; sauna; internal access to Liberty Place

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
