Pros

Rooftop houses 480000 honey bees and organic vegetable garden for restaurant ingredients

Lobby features rotating art exhibitions curated by international G&O Arts

Located in the designated French Quarter near multiple dining options within 0.3 miles

Environmental initiatives include comprehensive recycling and energy management systems

Cons

9.5 miles distance from Philadelphia International Airport

Valet parking is the only on-site parking option

“What struck me most was the blend of French elegance with the city's American spirit, particularly within the renovated rooms reminiscent of Parisian apartments; its central location near Rittenhouse Square puts you steps away from major attractions, and I appreciate the on-site gallery showcasing local art. It's a sophisticated place to experience Philadelphia.”
