Hotel Palomar Philadelphia

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

About your stay

By Nicole Alper, Jetsetter Correspondent

A city largely defined by its architecture and history — from the rows of Georgian homes and 19th-century brick row houses to the towering skyscrapers that make up its jagged skyline — Philadelphia finally has an eco-conscious, art-oriented boutique hotel. This hip Kimpton property is LEED-registered and right off the see-and-be-seen Rittenhouse Square, where couples snuggle up on picnic blankets and designer shops lure the well-heeled.

What we love

  • Hip artwork that updates classic American themes (e.g., a mint green bust of Ben Franklin)
  • LEED-certified Square 1682 has a shared-plate New American menu
  • Rittenhouse Square location is in the center of upscale Philly
  • As with all Kimpton properties, the Palomar is super-pet-friendly
  • Wine reception in the lobby every evening

What to know

  • Square 1682 can be a bit of a scene, so don't necessarily expect a quiet dinner for two
  • The restaurant is directly adjacent to the hotel but not an immediate part of it
  • Check-in is at 3 p.m.
  • Valet parking is available for $40 per night
  • WiFi is complimentary
