Frommer's Review

The largest hotel in the state, and then some, the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown commands a towering presence in the heart of Center City. With over 1,300 rooms, this Philadelphia hotel is high volume -- and surprisingly high service. Marriott opened the biggest hotel in Pennsylvania in January 1995, linked by an elevated covered walkway to the Reading Terminal Shed of the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Guests would be smart to join Marriott's rewards program, which offers automatic discounts to members.

Marriott's major auto entrance is on Filbert Street (two-way between Market and Arch sts.) adjacent to Reading Terminal Market. The completely renovated main lobby is centered around the chic, contemporary lounge called Circ and the lobby is sliced up into different zones, perfect for relaxing, networking, and dining with Starbucks, retail outlets and the newly opened restaurant ?13? surrounding the perimeter. Setbacks and terraces provide plenty of natural light and views from the rooms on floors 6 to 23. Rooms are tastefully outfitted with luxury bedding by Marriott, a TV armoire, a desk, a club chair and ottoman. Comfortably sized bathrooms have heavy chrome fixtures and sinks and counters tucked in the corners for more dressing room space. Closets are spacious and there are large desks with high speed Internet access available. The proximity of this hotel to local attractions combined with over 110,000 sq ft of event/meeting space makes the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown the perfect choice for both leisure and business travelers. Service throughout the hotel is impeccable, thanks to the well-trained, knowledgeable staff.

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.
