Newly Renovated Hotels 

Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia

Neighborhood: Center City
Address: One N 19th St

The Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia at Comcast Center is redefining the heights of urban luxury with the debut of its highly-anticipated Sky Garden floor. Recently honored as the top hotel in the city by U.S. News and World Report, the 5-star property has transformed an entire level into a sanctuary dedicated to three core pillars: art, wellness, and epicurean excellence.

The new Sky Garden suites emphasize “residential-style,” offering guests an intimate sense of home high above the city. Expansive accommodations feature breathtaking views of the lush Wildflower Green Roof and access to rare private terraces. The aesthetic is further elevated by a collection of works from both local and international artists, inspired by the legacy of legendary Philadelphia artist Alexander Calder’s explorations of balance and movement. Guests can enjoy a world-class culinary experience without leaving their retreat, thanks to exclusive in-room dining menus from the hotel’s award-winning restaurants, Vernick Fish and Jean-Georges Philadelphia.

For the ultimate stay, the Sky Garden Penthouse offers more than 4,000 square feet of space, complete with its own private fitness studio and floor-to-ceiling vistas.

Society Hill Hotel

Neighborhood: Old City
Address: 301 Chestnut St

The Society Hill Hotel in Old City recently completed nearly a year of renovations, with careful attention paid to its historic features. Located just blocks from Independence Hall, this nearly 200-year-old boutique hotel features 15 guest rooms that offer odes to history while being adorned with modern fixtures. New owners Mike Cangi and Brian Linton revived the original neon gas sign in bright gold, restored the oak bar, and preserved the large barroom windows.

The Bellevue

Neighborhood: Center City
Address: 200 S. Broad St.

The renovation introduced sophisticated new touches inspired by French Renaissance design, blending historic grandeur with modern luxury.

The reimagined property features 184 restored guest rooms, including 39 suites, with elegant millwork, marble-tiled bathrooms, and curated historical artwork. Public spaces like The Conservatory—a seven-story atrium with lush greenery—and the rooftop restaurant Pergola have been transformed to offer inviting, light-filled gathering places. The Bellevue features over 30,000 square feet of renovated event space, making it a premier location for meetings and large events. No stay is complete without working out or relaxing at The Sporting Club, which features a lap pool, NBA-sized basketball court, running track, hot and cold plunges, golf simulators, and much more.
