Its location in the historic City Hall Annex provides easy access to the Pennsylvania Convention Center, City Hall, Dilworth Park, and Reading Terminal Market, and the original 1926 details—brass, copper, and bronze fixtures, as well as the lobby’s ceiling and chandelier—connect guests to the history of the place.

As oceanfront as you can get in town, this completely refurbished hotel is right across the street from the sand.

Oceanside luxury is at its best at this venerable vacation favorite in the quaint Princeton-by-the-Sea area of Half Moon Bay. Every traveler to the coast knows about the fierce winds and fog in the area, so the fact that every guest room here has its own fireplace is an enormous asset. There is an overall upscale nautical theme throughout the space, split between the primary suites, giant villa rooms, and an 11-room adjacent inn. There is an on-site restaurant and bar, plus it's walking distance to a handful of great places to eat and drink.

If you want to be in central Waikiki and don't want to pay beachfront lodging prices, consider the Ohana Waikiki East, which is a mere two blocks from the beach and within walking distance of shopping, restaurants, and nightlife.
