My husband and I visited Philly on vacation and were pleasantly surprised by the Latham. Terrific location for walking the city with vibrant Rittenhouse Square 1 block away. Spacious room with a nice view and very comfortable king bed. Personable staff ready to help with sight-seeing and dining tips, lots of restaurant options within easy walking distance from breakfast bakeries... More

Their renovations are almost complete, the restaurant is open (although I didn't eat there on this trip). The room are comfortable and well appointed. The staff was friendly and attentive. Great location just off Rittenhouse Square.

Went on business, would go back for vacation. The Latham is a smaller hotel that was very large on service. The staff was very friendly and always helpful. The rooms were super clean and well maintained. They are going through a bit of a renovation so some of the lobby was being worked on, however the restaurant and bar were... More

My family and I were in Philly for a wedding this weekend and had the pleasure of staying at the Latham. It appeared that they were just finishing a few final touches on a full remodel of the hotel rooms, lobby, bar, and restaurant. The decor was fresh and modern retro. I am not sure if "modern retro" is an... More

Stayed here for the first time with family this weekend and loved it! Upon arrival, we used the valet parking which was fuss-free and convenient. During check-in, there was a slight issue that someone entered my reservation incorrectly into the system but that was quickly corrected by the friendly staff. Our entire party was very impressed with how nice and... More

Sofitel, and Palomar were booked so checked into the Latham for a weekend in Philly. Art fair going on in the Park just one block away, and Rittenhouse was happening with sidewalk traffic until early in the morning. Hotel staff very knowledgeable about the area, and very helpful. Recent renovations and upgrades, have made them part of Preferred Boutique hotels... More

Good location, rooms are okay, staff is okay - but the room (and bothroom!) were not clean: hair from the previous (?!) guest in the shower, dust in the drawers etc. It could have beeb a nice stay there, but with this level of poor housekeeping it was not worth the price. I would not recommend this hotel.

More in the 3 1/2 star range. The hotel was under construction when I was there, so I can't comment on the amenities or lobby as those were not in service. The staff was really, really friendly and helpful and the location was great. I walked around by myself after dark to find some dinner (late 20s female) and didn't... More

Our experience at the Latham was excellent: Location: fine city neighborhood near almost everything we needed. Streets clean and safe, drop off smooth and helpful, valet parking convenient and timely (noted available public parking garages nearby for much less money, however). Lobby and room beautifully decorated, with fridge, TV, coffee maker, iron and board, wi-fi, and a very comfortable bed... More
