Carpenters' Hall Hotels in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The hotel and staff are 2nd to none. I've stayed at a number of hotels in Philadelphia and this is by far the best. The customer service, facilities, room.... everything is first class. Can't wait to go back.

We stayed at this hotel on New Years Eve in order to avoid driving. We were looking for a hotel with a large living area and great location and this hotel was perfect! We stayed in a studio room that had a queen bed, sofa bed, chair, coffee table, small dining table and a kitchenette. Upon arrival we were greeted by great staff asked about our room preferences. We were placed on the 20th floor and had an excellent view of city hall and love park. Even though it was New Years Eve, the hotel was generally quiet. The location of this hotel was also perfect for restaurants and bars in center city.

Needed a room for a trip to the car show. Convenient to the Convention Center. Hotel used to be a YMCA. Looks like an HGTV makeover squad did the face lift - very nice. We had Dinner and Breakfast at the Hotel. Small but nice French Restaurant, you could do a whole lot worse for a whole lot more.

It felt as if the stuff barely noticed us. other than that, hotel is wonderful.

Parking is convenient and location is great for walking and shopping

Very pleasant experience most amazing northern Italian steakhouse inside hotel. Incredible, have been to this restaurant before but never stayed at hotel. Wonderful with bar everything and walking distance to our room after dinner, an incredible cigar bar and everything including theater shops market and all that Philadelphia has to offer. One block from Rittenhouse Square! Wow

From the minute you arrive, the staff at the Palomar make you feel right at home, especially if you are bringing your doggie along. I loved the extra touches at the hosted wine hour, given it was Valentine's day. The room was on a lower floor but was a corner room with two welcoming views of 17th street hotspots.

Great bar, good food and the room was awesome. Hotel staff very nice and bent over backwards to make our stay a very nice one.

Some reviewers were turned off by shabby areas and substandard bathrooms. We wanted the location and value charm over cookie-cutter perfection. We did not see any of those problems. Our room was huge, beds comfortable, view lovely (we did take someone's advice and request a city view on a higher floor), and bathroom faultless. Common areas were well maintained and NOT shabby. The included breakfast buffet was comprehensive and most welcome on a frigid February weekend.
