The lobby displays artwork and features deep wood tones accented with yellow, red, and white, while the hallways include cozy alcoves with armchairs and sofas. Situated 2641.1 ft from the Pennsylvania Convention Center, the Alexander Inn stands within a 5-minute walk of Walnut Street and the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts.

Pros

Located one block from Antique Row

Seven restaurants within 0.3 miles, including Vedge and Tria Cafe Wash West

Cons

“Alexander Inn's historic charm and Center City location certainly caught my attention, placing guests within easy reach of Philadelphia's landmarks. The complimentary wine and cheese happy hour seems like a genuinely nice touch, fostering a friendly atmosphere that's rare in larger hotels, though some of the dated facilities need some love. Overall, it seems like a solid choice for travelers who prioritize location and character over modern amenities.”
