on the Avenue of the Arts, home to Philadelphia's ballet,
opera, playhouses, and symphony orchestra. Centrally positioned
in the business and cultural district, the hotel is within
walking distance of the city's historical treasures and museums.

the midst of soaring white marble columns beneath the circular
window of the hotel's 140-foot-high dome.
The enticing Bath Menu lets guests choose from a variety of
butler-drawn baths, including the Philadelphia-themed Independence
Bath and the Bubbly Bath, complete with rose petals scattered
artfully, candles surrounding the tub, champagne, and chocolate
truffles.
