My plane got in early and I got to the hotel before noon. I was able to check in upon arrival (although the hotel was pretty empty due to the lock down).
I believe this building used to be a Y. (I formerly worked a lot at City Hall and my boss used to go to the gym here daily, I think.) Inside, they connected the building with one next door by putting a glass roof over the two (common in Philly). I think some rooms have a view of the inside of the hotel for this reason, which I generally find depressing and do not like. I didn't get a room like this, but you may want to ask that they not give you such a room if that bothers you. The flip side is that a room with an interior view can feel safer, although this isn't an unsafe hotel.
The view from my room (709) was over the back of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, which is directly beside the hotel, and the PA Convention Center. Better to look at PAFA from the front, which you can't do from this hotel, but it was interesting and very quiet.
The room has a safe and fridge in a nice armoire with lights that turn on only when it's open. If there's one complaint, it's that my room was smaller than the ones in the pictures and didn't have a lot of seating - just a desk chair. So, no yellow arm chair or end of bed bench like in the pictures. Also, not enough clean towels.
The remote was sealed in a newly changed plastic bag so I didn't have to worry about touching it. The door to the room and the fridge were sealed with tape to signal that they had been cleaned since the last occupant.
This hotel is close to everything. I'm here to do journalism work unrelated to the pandemic, but noticed young people here are still going out in droves on a Friday night, even with the renewed lock down. The plazas around City Hall are filled with ice skaters and people dining at the holiday village. The streets in the neighborhood of 13th and Chestnut to 13th and Spruce were filled with mostly young whites eating outside. I'm not going to judge because someone has to keep the Philly restaurant scene going and it is outside. Much of Center City is within walking distance of the hotel.
I would stay here again.
Room was beautiful and clean, comfortable bed, great shower and delicious-smelling complimentary toiletries. We ordered room service and while there weren’t many vegetarian options, the linguine and harvest salad were both delicious.
Our Valet service was great, the valet was friendly and helpful and communicative and made us feel comfortable while we had to wait for the car. The most helpful was Jose from Cuba.
The rooms were sanitized before we entered and had tape to demark whether the room had been opened or not. It was a really nice feature, as odd as it sounds.
The staff provided us with water downstairs when we needed it! That was great! because the room was empty of any food or drinks.
"Everyone was pleasant but I was surprised how small the room was considering we used a couple upgrade certificates on it, also the amenities for a titanium elite member were relatively poor. No lounge, we were not offered water when we arrived, and the voucher for the breakfast is pitiful since you must get the continental breakfast and can't apply those funds to a more expensive meal. It was such a poor value we didn't use it the second day and opted instead to walk and get a breakfast at the market (Reading Terminal) I would have a hard time recommending this hotel to any elite member that didn't really need to be in that location."
Valet parking is pricy, I would recommend buying parking tickets ahead of time for love park garage, much more affordable and the exit is just adjacent to le meridian.
Plenty of places to dine in the area. This is Center City and feels like a mini version of New York. Plenty to see and do!
