When is the best time to go to Olde Kensington?

The best time to visit Olde Kensington is generally during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November) months. These seasons offer pleasant weather, with moderate temperatures and less humidity, making it ideal for exploring the neighbourhood on foot. You'll find outdoor dining more enjoyable, and the tree-lined streets are particularly appealing in spring with new growth or in autumn with changing leaf colours. For those looking to avoid the busiest tourist periods and potentially find better value on accommodation and flights, visiting in the shoulder seasons of late April or early October could be beneficial.

Recent Reviews in Olde Kensington

Sofitel Philadelphia at Rittenhouse Square

10/10 Excellent

"Good location. Very clean and comfortable."

Philadelphia Marriott Downtown

8/10 Good

"In general, the hotel was great - it's a great location, the rooms were comfortable, and the amenities were spectacular. Having complimentary streaming services available on the in-room televisions were a first for me and very impressive. The main reason I'm withholding a star is that during check-in, there was a large line of guests waiting to check in and there was not enough staff available to attend to everyone. It was surprising to see a downtown hotel in a major city only have 2 attendants working."
