Fodor's Expert Review The Notary Hotel

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. The comfortable guest rooms have complimentary Internet access, refrigerators, iHome radios, and business-friendly amenities like full-size desks. All west-facing rooms have excellent views of City Hall's elaborate architecture. The new fitness center gets plenty of natural light and features machines equipped with flat-screen televisions. Sabroso+Sorbo, the Notary’s all-day restaurant, serves Spanish-inspired cuisine in a buzzy atmosphere.
