Stayed here on a whim when a friend and I got stuck in Philly during the recent global IT outage. Found this hotel and saw great reviews so we booked it about an hour before arriving. This place was great! The building and the decor are historical and charming. The location is fantastic. Only a couple blocks from center city so you’re near all of the action, restaurants, and historical sites but the hotel is situated on a lovely, quiet side street. Also the hotel has probably the best continental breakfast I’ve encountered at a hotel. And lastly, the staff was so kind and friendly. Paige at the front desk is awesome and her four-legged assistant Addison is so friendly and cute. All in all I would 100 percent recommend a friend to stay here and I would for sure stay here again myself if I find myself in Philly again.

Never stayed in this area as I always have been in Philadelphia for business and stayed at one of the mainstream hotels. I was only there for one night but love this place. There’s a speakeasy on the ground floor which basically where my room was so I don’t know what the other rooms were like. It’s like an old converted brownstone all spruced up. All of the staff are awesome and very accomodating and friendly. It’s located right in the middle or near a bunch of great restaurants and night spots. The location is fantastic. Rittenhouse park is a gem. :)

Had such a wonderful stay at The Franklin!! It’s so cute and beautifully decorated. The cocktail bar is great and the breakfast was well beyond a typical continental breakfast. Would absolutely stay again and would recommend to anyone!
