“cool hotel just off Rittenhouse Square”

Reviewed 16 June 2013 NEW via mobile

I'm a Kimpton fan. Just passing through Philly I chose to stay here even though it was a little more expensive than competing hotels because of a special free parking option. This chain, for those who aren't familiar, offers a striking contrast to the bland options of major chains. Decor is bold and appealing, staff is much better trained at... More

Exceptional front desk staff. Very professional and friendly staff throughout. I had stayed at another facility the night before and it wasn't quite what I had hoped, so I booked a room for the next night at the Palomar Philly. Because I'd be checking out of one facility and into the Palomar, I called to inquire about early check-in or... More

“An exceptional stay at the Palomar”

Reviewed 7 June 2013

Our stay at the Palomar was absolutely exceptional. All of the service people we interacted with were excellent. What differentiates them from others is that they seem to "anticipate your needs" rather than just react. The room was very nice and very well kept. We did not eat at the restaurant but it seemed to be well populated when we... More
