Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Monaco Philadelphia

Opened in 2012, Hotel Monaco offers style, sass, and LEED certification in the heart of Philly's historic center, along with the beloved perks of the Kimpton brand, including free bike rentals, yoga mats in every room, complimentary evening wine hours nightly from 5 to 6 pm, and pet-friendly accommodations. Rooms mix local period influences (marble desks with carved bases, mirrored end tables) with bold, geometric patterns, Rocky-inspired hooded bathrobes, LCD TVs, Frette linens, and iHome stations. Spa rooms and suites feature vintage soaking tubs. Mingle with locals at the rooftop Stratus bar and at the Red Owl Tavern, an upscale-comfort food favorite. The staff is approachable and friendly.
