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.

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy.

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the lounge. Love the W."

Hampton Inn by Hilton Philadelphia International Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Short stay for me. Booked the hotel after 11pm, got there after 12am. Left at 6am. Only issue was I had no body wash and lotion (bottles were empty) so that was disappointing. May have had to do with the fact that it was a super last minute booking on my part. Other than that it was no problems and I didn’t really need anything, just needed a place to sleep for a few hours. Room was very nice as was the bathroom. Staff was kind and helpful."

Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place, the free tea and coffee was a nice touch. There was a slight issue with the credit card deposit payment, but the staff tried to rectify it asap. All the staff were really nice and friendly and the hotel is in a great location. Very happy."

Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District

8/10 Good

"Check-in was seamless and concierge staff were extremely helpful. I was lucky enough to run into housekeeping staff one morning and they handed me seemingly fresh towels, and though they were clean, one of the face towels had a faded blood stain on it. Luckily, I noticed, so I simply didn't use that one. The king size bed was super comfortable and the large TV was a huge bonus. I especially appreciated having complimentary bottled water and tea bags in my room. This hotel's location cannot be beat when it comes to tourist sites, entertainment, dining, etc. It makes me want to return to Philly real soon!"
