The hotel is simply gorgeous, having been a former YMCA with all the gorgeous wood, etc. Second, the staff are extremely attentive and prompt. Third, the rooms are quite nice, but I must say there needed to be greater attention to cleanliness, as mine was dusty and had hair (not my color!) in the sink and counter. What was best... More

I was in town for a meeting at the Convention Center and this hotel was very convenient as it’s located 1 block away. The hotel used to be a YMCA and they have done some amazing things with the architecture to preserve the past and still make it a completely stylish and comfortable hotel. The hotel is very close to... More

My husband and I just spent the holiday weekend visiting family in Philadelphia. I am a frequent international traveler who enjoys a luxury boutique experience. Though this hotel is in a unique building in the heart of Philadelphia, it is a 3 star hotel pretending to be a modern Euro-chic boutique. Overall it was fine, but little details were overlooked...

We stayed at Le Meridien on a Saturday night. The hotel is convenient to Museum Row and an easy walk to Rittenhouse Square (loaded with good restaurants). The hotel is an interesting mix of modern and old architecture. It has an exposed brick interior and very modern and stylish rooms. The hotel is not large but has a nice restaurant... More

Overall the hotel was fantastic, but what really stood out was the welcome I received as I pulled up to the hotel. the Valet/doormen were very friendly and helpful. They remembered my name throughout my stay and gave great recommendations for dinner and nightlife. The bar in the lobby was trendy too which helped with the overall experience.

We stayed in the Le Meridien to attend a meeting in the conference center one block away. As many have written, it is the old YMCA converted in a nice modern hotel. Upon arrival you first see the modern bar and seating areas rather the a row of check-in counters, quite refreshing. The check-in and elevators are not hard to... More

The first thing as you go in the door is that you are at the bar - and have to hunt for the reception desk. From there, it's a hunt for the elevators. Make sure you ask for a room with windows that face outside - or you could be in a room that looks out over an inner lobby,... More

I went to Philadelphia to spend a long weekend with friends and we got two rooms at Le Meridien. The decor is very modern and the hotel is located in a very interesting building. The rooms are also nicely decorated, clean and the bathrooms are nicely sized. Le Meridien has a building within a building design in some places that... More

Great location, beautiful building, wonderful service, best nights sleep ever! I had been ahving trouble sleeping for two weeks, then I checked into the Le Meridien. The hotel is situated such that the drapes can be drawn and the room is totally dark and totally quiet. No housekeeping staff slamming doors in the a.m., no elevator noises, just a perfect... More

I stayed here with my mom for a reward stay for my bday and I was truly rewarded!! I have been to Philadelphia many times and usually stay at one of the Marriot locations that will not be the case no more. The entrance is quirky because you see the bar as soon as you walk inside. It’s strange at... More
