“A historic hotel offering bags of charm near the Old City. Rooms differ in design but all have polished wooden floors and historic prints. The best have balconies, jetted tubs, and fireplaces. With one of the city's most popular Italian restaurants, this is a hit with couples and families alike.”

Penn's View Hotel
The 51-room Penn’s View Hotel has long been popular, thanks to its views over the Delaware River, and ownership of one of Philadelphia’s favourite Italian restaurants. Major attractions, such as Independence Hall and the hip and happening Old City, are just a 10-minute walk away.
