Loews Philadelphia Hotel Review

The coolest thing about this centrally situated hotel is its architecture. The former PSFS Bank tower was the nation's first modern skyscraper (I love the polished wood paneling and Cartier clocks). Petite rooms feature 10-foot ceilings, modern interiors, and miles of spectacular views. Business aids are extensive, but watch out for the surcharges levied on phone use. For convention travelers, the location is ideal, though this stretch of Market Street is a bit gritty.

Kids get special treatment in the form of toys and games. Pets are coddled, too: Concierges provide leashes, litter boxes, catnip, scratching posts, and, well, pooper scoopers.

Solefood is the hotel's seafood restaurant, and there is a pleasant lobby lounge off the restaurant.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; concierge; fitness facility w/lap pool ($10/day); library

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.
