The hotel is clean and new, having opened in 2008. The strap line on their address card reads 'A Boutique Hotel for the Independently Minded.' It's an easy name to remember, because the city features the Independence Visitor Centre and Independence Hall.

Easy to find your way to the hotel first time and to get back to it? Philadelphia is famous for its giant murals. Two colourful giant murals in this street will help you find your way to your hotel and the car park on the next block.
