Reopened under new ownership in 2008, the spacious, contemporary-meets-traditional guest rooms here vary in shape and style: Choose one with exposed brick, or a fireplace, a cathedral ceiling, or a loft sleeping area.

"Inspired views of City Hall and a position at the centre of Center City make this an appealing choice."

Though this hotel's higher floors have decent views in all directions, we highly recommend that you ask for a suite in the hotel's southwest corner.
