Fodor's Expert Review Residence Inn Philadelphia Center City

Originally the Market Street National Bank, this building from the 1920s has a beautifully restored art deco facade. (The rooms remain mostly Marriott.) You can choose between studios or one-bedroom suites; most have full kitchens, living rooms, and work areas. Novel amenities include grocery shopping (the staff will pick up items for you), complimentary wireless Internet, complimentary breakfast, and complimentary appetizers served on the second-floor gathering area Monday to Wednesday. The hotel is a big hit with families with small children. Across from City Hall, this hotel is close to all major downtown destinations.
