"Despite its size, the hotel maintains a boutique feel—mostly thanks to the staff, who can't do enough to introduce guests to the hotel's services."
Fodor's
"In the middle of the city's French Quarter, this luxury hotel has more of a hip feeling than some of its stuffier Federal-style neighbors."

"Great for large groups who want to stick together.... My favorite part of the complex is the indoor pool, which overlooks the river and a dock full of old seafaring vessels."

Art Deco-themed rooms offer stupendous views of the riverfront or city, but traffic noise does percolate up, so choose a river-view room if quiet is important to you.

"There are "no bad views from any room" at this "top-shelf" hotel overlooking the Delaware River and Penn's Landing, but some gripe it's "a little far from the action"."
Star Service
"Located just off Race Street, this remains the only waterfront hotel in the area, a foreboding 22-story limestone tower that rises from the shore like a miniature Empire State Building. "
