Hotels in Philadelphia PA

Hotels in Philadelphia offer a mix of history and contemporary in a locale nickname “The City of Brotherly Love”. Known for its cheesesteaks, its colonial history, its sports teams, its museums and its cuisine, Philadelphia once represented the birthplace of the United States of America, a place where the founding fathers wrote the United States Constitution, as well as the Declaration of Independence. The city’s most influential residents have included  William Penn, Benjamin Franklin, Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Paine, Milton Hershey and Edgar Allen Poe. Rocky is arguably the city’s most beloved movie. Each New Year’s Day, the Mummers Parade takes place in Philadelphia. Hotels in Philadelphia are some of the best you’ll find on the eastern seaboard. Before we get to hotels in Philadelphia, let’s take a look at some background information on the area to help you along the way.

America’s first capital city, Philadelphia has a rich history. Prior to Europeans’ arrival circa the early-1600s, Lenape Delaware Indians inhabited the area. The first Europeans to settle were the Dutch, followed by the Swedish. During this time period, England had established settlements in what is now Maryland. Eventually the Dutch took full control from the Swedes, only to be overtaken by the English in 1664. In 1681, William Penn, due to a partial repayment from a debt, was granted a charter from England to procure what would later become the Pennsylvania colony. Penn experienced religious prosecution as a Quaker, which caused him to seek a colony where anyone could worship freely. He named the city “Philadelphia”, which is Greek for “brotherly love”. In the mid-1700s, Benjamin Franklin helped improve city services such as fire protection, and built new structures such as a library and one of the colonies’ first hospitals. Philadelphia was arguably the most influential city during the American Revolution, as it hosted the signing of the Declaration of Indepence, as well as the Constitutional Convention. Additionally, it served as the United States’ first capital from 1790-1800.

The most populous city in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia has a population of over 1.5 million people, making it the sixth-most populated city in the USA. Today, Philadelphia represents the Unites States’ eighth-largest economy. Tourism generates about $12 billion of revenue annually from over 42 million visitors. The city is home to the University of Pennsylvania, an ivy-league research university founded in 1740, whose most notable alumni include Presidents William Henry Harrison and Donald Trump, business magnates William Wrigley, Jr and Elon Musk, investor Warren Buffett, American poet Ezra Pound and casino mogul Steve Wynn. The city’s climate is considered humid subtropical, with average summer highs at around 85 degrees Fahrenheit, and average winter highs around 43 degrees. Major points of interest include Center City, City Hall, College Hall, Penn Campus, Museum of Art, Delancey Street, Society Hill, Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Elfreth’s Alley, Carpenters’ Hall, Second Bank of the United States, 30th Street Station, Italian Market, Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Independence National Historical Park, Temple University, Drexel University, Kimmel Center, Lincoln Financial Field, Wells Fargo Center and Boathouse Row. Popular foods include cheesesteaks, hoagies, soft pretzels, roast pork sandwiches, tastykakes, tomato pie and ice cream.  Now that we have some background information on the area, it’s time for hotels in Philadelphia that will help make for a memorable experience.
