Top Wedding venues in Philadelphia, United States

Presently staying at this hotel and I’m appalled at the experience. Firstly, check in is at 4pm, at the time of check in, I never got notified my room was ready nor received my key to check in. Secondly, when I got to my room, the room was filthy. My blankets and pillows were covered in red stains and crumbs were all over the tables. There was also no soap in the room, which I was confused about. On notifying the front desk, I was not really given much understanding; however, the bedding was changed fairly quickly. Still, no excuse for a 5 star hotel to not have clean sheets on the bed and crumbs elsewhere. There is a hole in the ceiling where a light fixture would have been before demonstrating exposed wires. Lastly, the room vibrates loudly when the shower is on. Overall, just a weird experience. One time I came back to my room door wide open with all my bags, electronics, and luggage open on display because housekeeping stepped away for a moment. I was upset at this because someone could have easily stolen my handbag close to the door. Turndown service was given on the first night, not the second. We were told we would get a fruit bowl, we never got it. This was a special occasion for us and the Ritz ruined it. Wish we stayed at our original hotel booked. The breakfast downstairs was also disgusting. I ordered Eggs Benedict and got a spicy dish and was advised that the chef made the recipe wrong recipe for the day. The food did not taste fresh in any capacity. Needless to say, I don’t complain much; however, this is defaults not acceptable and not the experience paid for for a 5 star hotel. Look elsewhere.

Cleanliness is amazing, the gym is great, overall I great place!! The overall feel is adequate or better than expected in a 4 star hotel. When I arrived there were no towels and only 1 coffee pod. I called front desk and in minutes I got towels and coffee. Also perplexed by the lack of top sheet. I would stay again but the attention to detail in room cleaning is lacking a bit.

I stayed here for New Year’s Eve 2023. I have a few complaints, the room was very cold overnight & the phone didn’t work. I had to go outside near the elevator to use the public phone for room service. From 10p to 10am, The thermometer did not work & cold air came out. Suddenly, at 10am on New Year’s Day it started to push heat out. The bluestone cafe downstairs had mouse droppings on the counter so we refused to sit & eat there. The parking lot is extremely small & even though they said it’s self parking, the attendant still have to park your car & take the key. Otherwise, the room was good, hotel was beautiful, room service is great.

Receptionist & hotel parking personnel need training in hospitality. Failing to tell guest about IHG social hour. I found out from another guest. She mumbled when she speaks, I only heard 50% of what she said. Guests are here to unwind not to have to repeatedly ask "Pardoned me, what did you say". As for the hotel parking personnel, I asked her what is the 22% taxes entail, she just said "I don't know". I would've thought she would at least direct me to someone who can answer that. If I am paying a 22% taxes on parking, I would like to know what I am paying for. Also, if you are going to charge a 22% taxes, that should be listed in your price. 22% is rather unusual and high for taxes!! Other countries actually have school for hotel hospitality or at least have some sort of training. On top of that, the room have a damped smell to it. I didn't pointed that out because it was bearable.

We highly recommend this hotel for visitors to Philadelphia! The location and room are great especially if you are here for historical sites. Sam from the front desk is exceptional. He took care of the guests of this hotel really well. We visit many IHG properties every year, it’s not very often we see exceptional hospitality like that. Kudos to Sam and the breakfast restaurant staff.

We had a Wedding in Philly and the whole family stayed at the hotel.

First of all the staff are very friendly and welcoming. And the lobby is quite nice. I was very disappointed by receiving both our rooms. We arrived at the hotel a little after 1 pm upon check in there weren’t rooms available for us to use, also we had the 4 pm check in in mind; we waited a half and hour and our first room was ready. ( we went to check availability due to family arriving and was helped with a room upon check in) we had to wait for our 2nd room quite a long time only around 4 pm we were able to get checked in. My complaint is the fact that a lot of family members received their room upon check in and me and my husband that was there before them had to wait till 4 pm to be able to get ready. Having it in mind we have a wedding to get ready for and the bride and groom organized for the family to stay at the hotel.

For one night stay it was $325and I would say that the quality of the rooms are definitely not $325 a night standard. The shower had a very small stream and the shower curtain had mold on it. The dressers in the rooms are peeling off and look like they are very outdated ( with in mind that my husband and I stayed in a suite).

We stayed for 2 nights. The location is great. The room was terrible. Furniture is full of scratches. The tub had rust stains. The makeup mirror was broken. The tile in the bathroom looks dirty. Housekeeping knocked on our door at 9am. We left for the day at 9:30 and returned at 4. They never came back to clean our room. The destination fee is just plain robbery. I don't want junk food.

Great location, however be wary of booking through 3rd party applications. Booked 3 rooms two weeks in advance, none of the rooms were reserved upon our arrival. Had to wait 6+ hours for our rooms to be provided. When our rooms were finally ready, one of the three rooms was provided to another guest and one of our guests had to purchase a room at a separate hotel. Overall, a sincerely awful experience and would recommend booking elsewhere if possible

Didn't like this hotel. Overpriced for location and the room/amenities. Parking is available at $50/night. Hallways look great but rooms could be better. They're far from main attractions and would recommend that you use indego bikes to move around.

What a great hotel, in the best location! The staff are spectacular and I mean it! Not a single person rude or even unpleasant in any way. In fact, what I especially took note of, is that the staff even said "please" and "thank you" to each other, which is a sign of respect for each other professionally! The valet attendants were also very pleasant! The room was clean and perfectly decorated for the historic district location. The historic sites are visible from many of the rooms and obviously walkable. The room was surprisingly quiet, considering the location and the bed is very comfortable. If anyone from Kimpton reads this, the only recommendation for the room is the shower needed a longer curtain to block splatter that made the floor treacherously slippery. That's an easy fix. We would come back here in a second! Highly recommend!

I would give this hotel one star because they overcharged me $395.90 and $10.80. I booked through Amex travel, a third-party service, and paid $439.88. I don't understand why they charged me again. When I called them twice, they were unable to explain the situation and informed me that I would have to wait 3-5 days to receive a refund. If I don't receive the refund, I plan to dispute the charges with my bank. Their lack of professionalism is disappointing.

“The hotel has a good location, but the room was quite old. We booked through Amex Travel and were supposed to receive a $100 credit. However, the credit was not applied to the bottle water bill, and I had to call to have it fixed. I also expected a room upgrade, but I wasn't sure if I received one because the room was very very small(I wouldn’t call that as a four star hotel at all). Additionally, the restaurant at the hotel is overpriced and the food is not tasty. When I ordered a burger, the meat was burned and had a bitter taste. I have stayed at some 2 or 3-star hotels that were much nicer than this one. This hotel should be classed as a 2 or 3 star hotel. It was a bad and small room almost like a motel room, very normal service, and is overpriced.”

Please understand that we were at an event located within the Ritz-Carlton. The Pink Room. This was a bucket list event that was overpriced There was no room for mingling. The decor looked like it was purchased from the dollar store. The good thing was we were able to make conversation with each other and the party we shared a table with.

Had a very pleasant experience here, used my Amex Platinum FHR benefit and got credits to use for dining and other amenities. Complimentary room upgrade was nice, lobby and everything was decorated beautifully for Christmas as well !

Rooms are beautiful with Dyptique soaps and toiletries. Easy walk to Old City, Reading Market, Center City shops. Plus there is a champagne vending machine near the guest elevator bank.

Great location! Many things nearby. Staff friendly and welcoming! Hotel room was clean and comfortable. Would stay again.

I went during Covid and because I just didn’t want to be cooped up in my home in Seattle. My stay back east was really pleasant here. The staff were friendly and had gone above and beyond to make sure things were ready for me. I sadly only took a snap which I will can not proved however the room was gorgeous and has my attention for any Philly trips in the future . This experience has me thinking it is time for another trip.

Great experience with the Loews for my wedding! I booked our rooms here along with a room block. Maria and Carolyn were super helpful and always responsive. I took one star away because I had to call three times the night before and morning of for chairs for getting ready with hair and makeup. Not a big deal in the grand scheme. Overall amazing experience!

Two years in a row I had the pleasure of attending my job's holiday party at this fabulous place. I love watching how professional, courteous, friendly and well spoken the staff are outside of the entrance off of 19th Street AND once you enter the building. They are all standing strategically waiting to help you. You will NEVER see anyone standing blocking the entrance or looking lost at the entrance because the Staff is always right there welcoming you and ready to help you. Lastly my favorite part of this amazing building is one of the beautiful yet steep escalators. If you carefully glance above your head you'll see words scrolling along the ceiling with white lettering. It's not something you see everyday HOWEVER it's a BEAUTIFUL SIGHT. Make sure you continue to hold on while you're going up the escalator because it's steep. This place has become my newest favorite hotel in Philly!!

The location is a highlight, situated conveniently close to City Hall and other attractions. That's why I give it an extra star. The room amenities fell short of expectations. All their 1-bed rooms lack hot tubs. The room's temperature control was also a problem, which you can also tell it from other comments. This is definitely not a problem you would expect in a hotel at this level. The furniture and facilities showed significant wear, and cleanliness was an issue; finding hairs in the provided bathrobe deterred me from using it. Another concern was the security aspect, as the door guard in my room was loosely attached, missing a screw. But the aspect that most affected my experience was the service. While most staff members were friendly and welcoming, a few exhibited a concerning lack of courtesy. Their indifference to basic interactions, such as greetings and acknowledgments, was disheartening. In a hospitality setting, consistent, respectful customer interaction is essential. Won't choose it for future stays.

Terrible rooms and terrible service! We had a large group blocked for a week (hundreds of us). Many of us were without heaters the first night. I called the engineer, he said the entire unit needed to be replaced and the day shift would take care of it. So I slept in my jacket with a beanie all night, showering in the morning was like stepping out of an alpine lake. The next day after work, I received a new room key and went up to move my stuff. They had fixed the heater, so I told the front desk that I no longer needed to switch rooms. They told me I couldn't switch and that they already had someone in my room, which was an obvious lie.

Someone said there was a rat in their room, and a few said the water heater didn't work. Tubs are falling through the ceiling with water damage. We were told no outside food in the lobby, conference rooms, etc, and they blamed it on "the union." They never informed us beforehand.

Many had switched hotels after the first night. The front desk team was incompetent, even with the most basic requests. Fire alarm went off at midnight and the evacuation was chaos, there was no communication from the staff to the guests at all - after one night in the cold room, and other out on the street, I'm suffering from a cold.

Some folks were repeatedly denied daily housekeeping, while others specifically rejected the service and it was still performed. One of our group members eventually started bringing his room trash to the front desk to make a point. My housekeeper came every day, she was kind and organized but it doesn't make up for the terrible experience.

Checking out was a nightmare. They won't email your invoice unless you ask for it. Only a manager is able to print out an itemized invoice. They wouldn't remove the taxes from the bill because I used "a different rate," yet I was booked under the same reservation block as everyone else.

All four star hotels these days are garbage, but this was a new low. Those that switched to the Kimpton and Hyatt nearby were much happier and had no complaints.

My very first time getting a massage and it was amazing!!!!! Came for a birthday massage gifted from a friend and just from time walk in the warm welcoming to the relaxation area to rest and wait for service put me right to sleep ☺️ Jenna was my therapist very sweet, informative and great hands I felt like I was on cloud 9 with her she definitely did a wonderful job. I will be back for sure 👍🏾 I would recommend a massage from this hotel 1000%

The AC is controlled by the entire building, not individual rooms! Maintenance staff told me that I couldn't even turn on my fan because the building was set to "heat." I like my room around 63° at night; instead, I had hot, stagnant, musty air. The tiny rooms are crammed with large, awkward, outdated furniture. The walls are paper thin. The full width mirrors in the tubs are creepy. Not every room has a shower. They charged us for ice at the bar when we ordered drinks. The gym is as awkward and small as the bedrooms. The ceiling is so low that you can't use the step machine. You can't Absolutely avoid this shoddy relic of a hotel.

The location is great, but the rooms sound insulation is mid to unbearable. The room had 3 not working lamps, a broken toilet, and broken tub. My sister’s room was similar, which was on a different floor and different floor plan. So if you like taking showers in your dirt, having your lights turn off and on and hearing literally everything then you have come to the right place.

Otherwise, great location, great staff, and comfy bed.

An unforgettable experience! Purchasing our tickets online beforehand made getting in effortless. There is so much to see and do in this place that it would take multiple trips to see it all. We ate lunch at the cafe and everything was nice. There was a Korean art exhibit as well as many others. This was my first time going to an art museum. You know you hit the jackpot when you literally get lost inside of all the art. I will never forget it. We will be back!

Really blown away from the kind and friendly service. Loved the layout of the hotel and the room - such beautiful decor and the location is unreal. Right across from Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, it’s easy walking distance to lots of great spots in downtown. The valets were so friendly and kind even though we weren’t driving! They greeted us kindly every time we entered, held the door for us, and even offered to get our Uber car doors for us. I will absolutely stay here again in the future if I return to Philly! Photo is the view from our room

We spent 4 nights at the Kimpton Monaco in Philadelphia along with a large block of family and friends who traveled to attend my son's wedding to my new daughter-in-law. Most family members met at the Red Owl Tavern for breakfast. It was an exceptional experience! Special mention goes to Abby, Brie, Mathew and Samir! Lunch and happy hour were wonderful as well!
The front desk staff at the Kimpton Monaco was consistently helpful, friendly and professional. No one blinked an eye when I made requests. Kudos to Jada, as she was my "go to" person most of the time and she took very good care of my needs. EVERYONE was exceptional!
When I needed assistance with lack of hot water the first night, Tim from engineering was at my door quickly and he explained what needed to be done. He took care of it and the rest of our stay we got hot water when we needed it!
I emphatically recommend this iconic luxurious hotel in the heart of old town Philly!

The building itself is impressive with a beautiful panoramic view of Independence Hall across the way. The life-size statues of all the Founding Fathers/delegates is enough of a reason to visit. The staff are all friendly and helpful. 👍

What a find! This is a truly great museum, I will definitely visit again as I didn't have enough time to see everything. The most surprising exhibits for me were the Marcel Duchamp pieces, including his final artwork, and two by Hieronymus Bosch. A great outsider art gallery too. Highly recommended!

Spectacular building with a large collection of classic and some modern art. Absolutely worth a visit, though expensive - $30 for adults. The most interesting part of this museum is their willingness to mix newer art into classical sections. Lovely juxtaposition in many of their collections.

Older building and along with that expected issues. Room was small but clean. Everything in the bathroom was reasonable updated and as to be expected. Conference rooms, catered food and event support seemed to be really great. Location is decent close to Reading Terminal and fashion district and city hall but that being said. Homeless are still there and plentiful which makes it a little rough and eventful.

You need at least 2-3 hours to appreciate all the beautiful art in this museum. Although it is mostly know for being the "Rocky" steps, don't skip this museum if you are an art lover.

We enjoyed the highlight guided tour. It was free with admission. There are various tours you can take. Check with the front desk for times.

Take the time to see the large rooms with the cloister, the asian section and find the dog kennel it is truly unique.

The only positive of this hotel is its location. However, the negatives of this hotel far outweigh that.
-Parking: no one expects parking to be cheap or even convenient in a major U.S. city; however, the parking garage for this hotel is located down a side alley. After circling the block following check in, we had to wait 20 minutes for the line of traffic also waiting to get into the garage. When we entered, the person who gave us our ticket was rude, almost as if we were bothering him.
-Check in: this was smooth; however, we were notified that the hotel recently instituted a destination fee of $17 per night, “within the last week.” If the hotel changed their fees prior to check in, this should have been communicated before we got here.
-Hotel upkeep: it is clear that this hotel hasn’t been refreshed in years. The furniture is tired, dated, and dirty.
-Room: our bed had one sheet and a comforter. Mind you, not even a top sheet. When we called the front desk, we had a stack of flat sheets delivered to our room after 10 PM. We were told to make the bed ourselves. The front desk was unhelpful and didn’t seem concerned that the bedding wasn’t adequate, nor clean. Also, it is clear that housekeeping does the almost bare minimum when cleaning between guests. The room was dusty, the bathtub dirty, and the sheets had hairs on them. Additionally, there was garbage from the previous guest still in the trash. The ac/heater didn’t turn on once. No matter what, it reverted to 72 degrees and to the automatic setting. These are not things that should happen in any hotel, let alone one that is supposedly a 4 star hotel.

Overall: for its “4 star” billing and price, this hotel was on par with a Super 8. For the cost, they should be ashamed.

ONLY STAY HERE IF YOU LIKE OUTDATED AND DIRTY SURROUNDINGS.

Stunning Hotel. I had a great time. The lobby is incredible. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. My room on the 19th floor was large and perfect. I ate dinner and breakfast at the hotel restaurant and both meals were delicious. Drinks at the hotel bar where good and strong. Hotel is right in the center of the city. Perfect location. Use your Amex Platinum card and get all sorts of additional perks. Looking forward to returning.

I photographed Christina and Clintons stunning wedding here during the fall. I highly recommend it! The ballroom packs a lot of guests. If you're getting married here definitely take advantage of all the different photo locations. My favorite are the stairs. Rain or shine, this is a perfect venue for a wedding.

Vinny (owner) is very rude unprofessional and aggressive. Thug like behavior, such a disgrace to the hospitality industry! Never come here.

He refused to show camera footage to exonerate the baseless charges levied against a patron. Instead of listening to investigate what happened he put his head in his hands. I’ve filed a police report. Someone needs to investigate him and his past business practices!

The location is unbeatable, right down town in walking distance of almost anything. Rooms are very clean and neat. Gorgeous bathrooms with good lighting. The gym is nice but pretty small, and it offers a spa at an additional cost (did not use it, but it looks very nice). Overall, I would definitely stay there again.

My husband and I recently tied the knot at the Arts Ballroom and two weeks later we're still getting daily texts/remarks from my friends and family about how fantastic the food and venue were. The dessert room was a tremendous hit with both the kids and adults, everyone has a different food-based memory as the Arts truly goes over the top when it comes to food. We had a number of folks with dietary restrictions and everyone felt the venue handled their needs well and delivered high quality food.

We worked mainly with Taylor (after the original event specialist we were working with left the team between us signing the contract and us preparing for the wedding quite some time later) and she went out of her way to understand what was important to us, communicate what she needed from us, and coordinate with us when we wanted to ship a number of things to the venue as we live in NY (we shipped things and everything worked out great!). On the day-of she was always nearby and willing to help me get the wedding of my dreams, including having the chairs rearranged when I wasn't in love with the original design, making sure the chuppah was set up to our liking, making sure all the décor elements we brought were laid out according to our vision, and keeping me up to date on the schedule of the day. I have anxiety so having someone so attentive to my needs and communicative early on in the day melted away some of the anxious bride thoughts that popped up and made it so much easier for me to just enjoy myself and worry a bit less.

Everything that was important to us on our day was perfect. One small thing was that when we were asked the flavor cake we wanted, we requested raspberry marble (and had menus indicating that flavor to our guests) but when we cut into the cake we noticed it was actually lemon pound cake. While we were disappointed, the flavor of the cake wasn't that important to us and we didn't put a big stress on it so we weren't upset longer than a minute as the rest of the day was perfect.

Have your wedding at the Arts Ballroom if you want to have the delicious food-filled wedding of your dreams!

Staff did a great job! We felt taken care of the entire time and never had to worry about anything. They were always making sure we had everything that they needed. Food was very good. Cocktail hour food was provided for us right after the ceremony. Beautiful space. Built in lighting system was great and very effective for the entire evening. Thankful we had our wedding here!

Quite possibly the best art museum I have visited! Our group visited for a Friday "pay what you wish" evening and loved every bit of the 3 hours we spent there. We spent much of our time in the European galleries and loved the inclusion of architectural elements in the exhibits.
Our one point of disappointment is that there was an event happening with loud, modern music playing and children participating in a "trick-or-treat" scavenger hunt through the museum. While we were happy to see a unique way to invite families with young children into the museum, we thought it would have been prudent to teach the children to conduct themselves quietly in a museum rather than interacting loudly.

I had been to a party here. It is in the downtown. Great location, and there is a lot of bustling even in the night. Well lit area. Lots of nearby shopping places. I never stayed her during my visit here. So, I cannot comment on the rooms. But I guess service could ha e been better. No one knew where the party hall was and could not direct us correctly. But once we reached the party hall, it was amazingly big, nice decor, very upscale. I believe it had a crowd of 400.
The reason why I gave 4 stars was due to the worst experience I had for parking. First of all, there are no clear directions where the entrance to the parking garage is. Next, I have been here three times and always there is some construction going on, blocking direct entrance. You should know you need to get through small shady looking alley to get to the entrance. Next is the entrance, it is very narrow, and not suitable for big SUV's. I saw lot of them struggling to get and and let alone parking. The spaces are way too small. I definitely did not like it.

Took a day trip here to check out the museum and surrounding area. The art inside and outside was amazing. The amount of statues and plaques outside on the grounds was incredible. Very detailed and historic. The grounds and buildings themselves were a sight to see. We posed near the Rocky statue and ran up the same steps he ran up in the movie. Once inside we were amazed at how grand and spectacular the displays were. One of the nicest and well laid out museums we’ve ever seen. There was a lot of areas that couldn’t be filmed so we put away our phones and just enjoyed the experience. They have a nice gift shop. There is a decent amount of paid parking and eateries in the area. We pretty much spent the whole day here.

One of my favorite reasons to visit Philadelphia. I love the collections, especially the mid-century artworks and the current special exhibition, "The Shape of Time : Korean Art after 1989". The restaurant 'Stir' in the museum is a plus. I highly recommend the burger. They also have many creative Korean-style menu items that I'd like to try on my next visit. The surrounding nature is beautiful. It's a really good place for refreshing and escaping from the busy city life

Wow!!! The Four Seasons Philadelphia is literally the nicest, most amazing, property I have been to. They go above and beyond anything you could imagine with service. Every single employee we encountered during our stay was overly eager to help us, to greet us, and to just make our stay as comfortable as possible. The actual hotel is in mint condition, the decor is top notch. The restaurants and bars are trendy and hip. To navigate the elevators is a little tricky at first, it takes some getting used to but once you’ve got it, it’s easy. You have to go from the ground floor to the top floor 60th to the lobby and then enter the other elevators to go down to your room. When leaving your room, you have to go back to the top floor, and take a different elevator down to the ground floor. I assume this is for security purposes, so that no one who comes to the hotel just for dinner or drinks or just off the streets can access guest rooms. The rooms are immaculate. We upgraded to a corner suite with a sitting room and panoramic view of the city. It was breathtaking, vaulted ceilings, huge tub overlooking the city, huge walk-in shower, the bed was super comfortable. There is nothing I can say about the room that I would’ve changed. Bose speaker to play music while getting dressed, huge runway closet with full length mirrors along it. Needless to say I would absolutely return to the Four Seasons when traveling to Philadelphia again. Oh, and the location is perfect. It’s right in the heart of everything, nice restaurants, the Rocky Steps, the liberty bell, and many art museums. But the best part of all is the in door infinity pool that overlooks the entire city!! What an amazing view. You literally swim up to panoramic views from the 57th floor of the entire city while in the heated pool. Words cannot describe the experience. We enjoyed our stay!

I've never felt compelled to write a review of a wedding venue. My niece was married there just last night. Hands down a PERFECT EVENT. The staff couldn't do enough. They were so friendly. The food and drinks were TOP NOTCH. I just spoke with my sister (mother of the bride), and she said she is still on a high. Well done! A perfect elegant evening paired with a friendly and professional staff. Not to mention a stunning facility.

There is a lot to take in here. The main exhibits right now are about 13th-15th Amendment, the 19th Amendment, and the newest exhibit, the 1st Amendment. There is a live performance about the Constitution given once an hour. It's about 20 minutes and is informative and entertaining.

It was rated as a 4 star hotel. What I experienced was rather mediocre. I must say that the parking in the garage was quoted at $60. So we chose street parking. It was raining and two blocks away. My choice(over 60 buck valet), but didn't help the experience. The heater in the room was capped at 77°, and I'm very sure it never got close to that. It was 50 outside and maybe 70 inside. Nice sleeping weather, but a bit uncomfortable to sit and eat. All the lights in the room are extremely bright, for a migraine sufferer(me) this was problematic. Lastly we got in at 11pm, and checkout was at 11am. Asked for late checkout and there was no availability. Even with a cost I would have really liked the option. As a daytime sleeper, being able to wake at 1pm would've made a huge difference. End of the day it was a roof over our head for the night. Front desk staff were attentive and pleasant.

Booked this super last minute for a weekend away, and couldn’t be happier. The price for a Saturday night was unbeatable based on location and amenities. Everything we wanted to do was within walking distance, and I’ve stayed at equal hotels in the area that were much more expensive than this one. I read that check in was at 4pm, but we came around 2 to drop our bags and wander around for a bit, and were told our room was already ready! The woman at the front desk was awesome and super friendly. We had a corner king room, and it’s smaller but for two people it was absolutely fine.. the beds are comfy.. rooms are clean… and the pool was great. There’s a little bar out there, and plenty of lounge chairs and patio type furniture. I don’t recommend the bar downstairs because their cocktails were way too sweet and we couldn’t drink them, but this is easily our new favorite hotel in town.

I'd like to draw the owner of the place's attention to the security people that for some reason decided to be waaaay too rude and unnecessarily aggressive today, 10/14, somewhere about 6pm.
Our team took care of the wedding that is being held there today, right now. As part of the team, I had to go back and forth to bring or remove our props or flowers or whatever. At one point, two guards, a woman and a man, approached me to find out who I was and why I was there. It's worth mentioning that NONE of their inquiries could be called polite. Since English is not my native language, I explained as much as I could and offered to talk to my supervisor that was present at the place at that time.
Instead they refused to see the person and were commanding and trying to drag me away from my team, stopping me from going where I needed to go. People working in a prison behave like that. I was not a guest of the place but I was their guest's contractor, I had every right to be there and these bullying workers' behavior was completely unacceptable and disrespectful.

Down to greet and direct you. Parking lot directly across the street from the venue. Upstairs they had 2 bars and lots of tables to accommodate small plate dining from various foods bars. The balcony I'm the main dining hall which was meticulously decorated. Gorgeous stairways leaving to main hall perfect for photos. Hard-working wait staff, additional bars in main hall. Ample restrooms. Little disappointed no coat check - where's a man man to set his brim? Wonderful place for a wedding reception!

I officiated a wedding here recently. It was truly amazing. The staff were so organized and friendly. They run their events like a well-oiled machine and keep their clients stress free. This venue is totally worth it!

A++ experience from the moment I pulled up to the moment I left. The views are worth the price of the stay alone. Every detail is outstanding and impeccable, from the flowers to the fitness center. The room, and the view are one of a kind. With all that being said, the best part of the stay by far was the service and kindness I received from the incredible people working there.

This location is more a really nice 4-star than a 5-star. If I were looking for an exceptional experience I would much rather prefer the W around the corner. The value for the price at this hotel isn't there.
Pros:
- Decent gym with full set of dumbbells but nothing notable
Cons:
- Cant fully adjust temperature in rooms, I wasn't able to turn on the heating during my late September stay because the hotel was still in "A/C mode"
- Rooms are not what you would expect at a hotel of this caliber/price

I have been to The Philadelphia Museum of Art twice, but I have not yet been inside. On my most recent visit, it occurred to me that on my next visit, I'm going to make it a priority to go inside. I cannot comment on the interior of the museum; the exterior is lovely. If you are facing the museum, do not expect the Rocky Statue to be at the top of the steps. It is to the right of the steps on the street level in its own section. Everything about the exterior of the museum is exhilarating, from all of the people climbing the steps and shadowboxing, to the ornate statues, to the beautiful view of the city down Benjamin Franklin, to the endless photo and video opportunities. Even the walk down Benjamin Franklin is beautiful. Don't skip a visit to the Museum when visiting Philadelphia.

I'm a member and enjoy going again and again. There is so much to see and enjoy. I was quite impressed with Whistler's Mother and the entire display of other paintings of mothers. The cafe at the museum offers a wide selection of delicious meals.

Attended for Friday evening happy hour. Wonderful ambiance and upscale experience. Professional jazz singer and musician. Mixed cocktails packed a punch and white & red wine was available. Impressionist exhibit featuring rare Monet paintings is a must-see

This is one of my favorite art museums I have visited. My boyfriend and I have very different tastes and preferences and we both found many works of art that were breathtaking and spoke to our interests. The galleries are well organized and museum personnel were friendly. This is a wonderful museum to explore across styles and artistic mediums.

Absolutely great museum! I arrived early during opening time so I could experience it with less people. Free entry as I'm 18! Amazing art pieces to show cultures from all over the world ranging from Europe, Japan, India, and more. Definitely recommend if you're in Philly or just an art buff. Every room is worth stopping and staring at the outside architecture is great too with a cafe inside.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and it was quite an impressive experience. The museum's architectural grandeur is nothing short of awe-inspiring, providing a sense of cultural gravitas, especially the elevator doors! Its extensive and diverse art collection, spanning different historical periods and regions, is undeniably remarkable.

My exploration of the European art section was particularly captivating, featuring iconic works by renowned artists. I also greatly appreciated the museum's commitment to highlighting art from various corners of the world, with a special interest in the Asian art exhibits.

However, I must note a minor drawback during my visit. Regrettably, certain rooms, including the Indian art and sculpture section, were undergoing renovation and were consequently inaccessible to the public. This did temper my overall experience somewhat, as I had been looking forward to delving into those particular collections.

Nonetheless, the museum's overall ambiance and significance are undeniable. Its location also provides sweeping vistas of the city, rendering it a coveted spot for photography enthusiasts.

I'd advise prospective visitors to verify whether any ongoing renovations or closures might affect their intended experience. My rating stands at 4/5 stars, with the anticipation of enhanced visitor experiences in the future.

Spectacular! fantastic food and staff. The prettiest venue I've ever seen!

We had a wonderful experience at the hotel.

We received an excellent and very friendly welcome from the staff.
Our room was spacious and clean. (We had a Junior Suite)

What we liked most was the excellent location of the hotel. We could see the Independnece Hall from our room. The complementary wine tasting was also great.

Valet parking was $72.28 (after tax), but we gladly paid that for the fact that everything worked out wonderfully.

Really beautiful and gorgeous building. One of the most beautiful exterior areas of any American museum. The ‘Rocky stairs’ and the jet fountain outside are stunning. Walking outside and seeing the skyline of Philadelphia is also spectacular. Inside, there is a beautiful collection on Impressionist art, however, I found the rest of the museum lacked the same quality. But a great collection nonetheless. Some good Picasso, Monet, and Van Gough.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My recent stay at the Four Seasons Philadelphia was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism that set the tone for our entire visit. The service here is truly exceptional.

The pool is an oasis of tranquility. The spa experience was incredibly relaxing, and the pool area provided a perfect escape from the bustling city. Clean, well-maintained, and beautifully designed – it was the ultimate retreat.

I must commend the staff for going above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Leonard, in particular, was incredibly helpful and attentive to our needs. His dedication to ensuring our comfort was truly outstanding.

Whether you're here for business or leisure, the Four Seasons Philadelphia offers an impeccable experience. I can't recommend it enough, and I look forward to returning soon. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay unforgettable!

My doctor's office is in this building. I love this building!!! There are a lot of different businesses there. There is also an attached garage. You don't have to go outside until you leave. Safe!!!

The Four Seasons Philadelphia was excellent. My husband I enjoyed every minute. The location of the hotel is perfect close to many activities in the area and if you are coming in from train the Uber ride will 10 minutes or less. Inside the hotel is beautiful the decor fit perfectly for this hotel. For someone who love to swim the pool was amazing and the view from the pool was amazing as well. The room was great the bed was so comfortable and the shower was also great . The food at the restaurant was delicious and the service was great. The inspector in me saw a little bit of dust around the TV area but that to be expected for being around the TV . The employees seemed happy and friendly and so helpful they seemed like they really wanted you to enjoy your stay .The Four Seasons seems to know how to treat there employees because I believe they wouldn't work so hard to make your stay great if they didn't . This is the second Four seasons I stayed at and hope I can keep staying at others. Please bring Four seasons to Lancaster Pa I would love to work at a Four seasons . So if you looking for luxury, clean, great service and amazing food Stay at this Four Seasons

Fabulous visit with friends. The interactive displays are excellent. History of our country’s independence presented in exciting photos, music and narrration.

Beautiful atrium. Old time barber shop and sandwich shop. There is huge stained glass

This venue is so beautiful inside and has the perfect layout that we couldn't have asked for a better place for our wedding.

Great place to sip a drink and enjoy the art. You can spend hours and hours here. This is an amazing place to visit In Philly if you are interested in art and history.

They have an impressive collection of arts and artifacts from different countries and time in history. Remarkably well preserved paintings, rooms to show lifestyle, and cultural artifacts: engraved rugs, and sculptures.

There was live music, you can get some light snacks or drink. They also have cafe and gift stores. They do have parking lot for visitors. I recommend buying tickets online, on first Friday of the month I think you can visit it at little cheaper than regular days.

From the first time that I walked into the Arts Ballroom, I was floored at how big it was once you got inside. A great layout with cocktail and reception being in separate but adjacent rooms. So many people working during events there that there is never any lack of help for any guests. Really pretty inside and the staff is always great with communication from beginning to end.

Ballroom at the Ben is right in the heart of Philly and like I always say, you will never go wrong with a Finley Catering venue. Ballroom at the Ben is their more "middle" sized venue so you can fit 175-200 comfortably. Its a great layout with the cocktail balcony overlooking the ballroom floor. Everything all in one location and its an amazing view from every angle of this place. Ott is a machine. He will keep the party moving along without you even knowing about it. You can bank on a successful wedding with Finley Catering at the Ballroom at the Ben.

This hotel falls below standards of what I’d expect from the Ritz brand. The rooms are not as equipped and I had a hard time getting them to fix the hvac thermostat in my room. They don’t follow through with guest requests; I find that unacceptable. The valet service folks could be more friendly and courteous to guests. Gym could be more equipped and cleaner.

This is a 4.5 star museum. My only gripe is that it tells a sort of traditional textbook history and not as much of a "historian" type history. There isn't enough backstory on what was happening in the world, no real setup of why the Constitution is how it is. Then it just starts telling American history with a sprinkle of amendments. The live show is a bit of a commercial for America. It was all good, mind you. Just didn't have the perspective and nerdiness to be a 5 star museum experience. I'd still recommend it since it fills out a visit to Independence Hall and Park nicely. Definitely don't skip out. Also, I wish it was open 7 days a week. We had to adjust our whole schedule around this museum's opening days.

Worth a look, if you have the time and interest, but not a great museum experience. The best part is undoubtedly the Signers Hall, which is a re-creation of a gathering of signers of the Declaration of Independence through life size statues. The figures are scattered throughout the room so you’re able to walk in and around them, take photos, which is fun. The room gets crowded with other people, so bear in mind. They do have some guides in the room that will provide some background information which is nice. There’s a couple of other exhibition spaces, but I was a little bit disappointed that there wasn’t more in depth examination of the Constitution itself. It’s not going to take a lot of your time to go through it. Its a nice facility with two levels, but not a must do. Admission was $14.50 per adult, but luckily for us, we went on a day when admission was free. Honestly, kind of glad we didn’t pay for it.

First and foremost, the venue's aesthetics were truly remarkable. The interior design was tastefully executed, striking a harmonious balance between elegance and modernity. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the beautifully crafted decor to the thoughtfully chosen lighting that created an inviting and immersive atmosphere.

The location was super convenient and easily accessible. It was situated in a prime area with ample parking facilities and public transportation options, making it convenient for attendees to reach the venue without any hassle.

The ARTS BALLROOM will undoubtedly elevate the overall experience and leave a lasting impression.

What a great experience we had. Taylor was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Worth every penny!! 5 Stars !!! Definitely my dream wedding!

It was very educational, it was a smooth place to go through, and you are your own guide. Very well mapped out.

I buy the ticket online and show them at the front desk, pretty easy to get in. This museum has several galleries, all of which tell you why the U.S. constitution is so special.
There are several features that you should not miss.
The first is the “We the People” show, which takes place every hour. The narrator is an Asian female who has done a phenomenal job! Her words are clear, her emotion is strong, and her expression is full of passion. The entire show may lose at least half of the value without her performance! I do enjoy her work so much!
The second is the room with all bronze sculptures of figures who participated in the signing of Declaration of Independence. It is amazing to see those people in real human size gathered in a small room and announced the independence from the Great Britain.
The third is the terrace on the second floor, which gives you a grandiose view of the Independence Park and the Independence Hall.

I would give the Curtis Atrium negative 5 stars if possible. I have assisted with the planning of 5 weddings over the past 10 years. My most recent wedding was my daughters at the Ballroom at the Ben in Philadelphia. My oldest son was married at the Merion in Cinnaminson, NJ. (both top notch venues). I'm a former restaurateur and currently teach culinary arts at a vocational high school. I've never dealt with a wedding coordinator as unprofessional as Lisa. She does not return emails, and if she does the email is always late. My wife and I met with Lisa, my son, and fiancé on Saturday, May 29th. I don't even know where to begin. For $250 per head on a Saturday, you would think everything would be top of the line. Not so. Three beers are offered, one IPA, Yuengling Lager, and Michelob Ultra. I asked if we could add two beers and was told yes with an additional cost. I asked if we could switch two of the beers and was told yes at an additional cost. The bar for cocktail hour and the wedding is not the premium package. Again, for $250 per head a premium bar should be a given. Most of the men in our family drink Crown Royal and my son wanted a Crown Royal Manhattan as a signature cocktail. I asked if we could swap out the Seagram's 7, which is a very low end whiskey, to Crown Royal. Of course I could, at an additional cost. Cordials were not even listed. For cocktail hour, there are a measly 8 passed hors d oeuvres. I asked if we could add 2 more. Of course I could, at an additional cost. The selections for beef on the dinner had prime rib and filet mignon for an additional $10. Here we are at that $250 per head saga. The room for the reception is an additional $3500. Lisa told us the room is sometimes dark in November. For an additional $2500 we could upgrade the lighting. Lisa was unfriendly towards me with these simple requests and replied several times "Ill have to check with my people" All of the wedding coordinators I've dealt with over the years did not have to "check with their people". Lisa also spoke negatively about Finley Catering when I told her my daughter was married at The Ballroom at the Ben, which was truly AMAZING! (very unprofessional). I'm saving the best for last. My future daughter in law asked Lisa at least 3 or 4 times to keep a soft hold on the date. Upon departure, my wife asked if there was a soft hold on the date. Lisa responded like she didn't even know what a soft hold was. She then proceeded to inform us that there was no soft hold and if anyone were to put a deposit on the date we would lose the date. Not even a courtesy phone call or email would be given. Today is Wednesday, May 3rd, and still no contact from Lisa after meeting with "her people" We met with Lisa with the intent of paying a deposit to lock in the date. My daughter in law left in tears. The venue is absolutely beautiful. However, The Curtis really should look at how business should be professionally handled. For the prices they charge, everything should be top of the line and MINOR requests should be granted without "checking with my people!!

Worked With Ott for a clients Wedding.
Love the Space and how they utilize it. We had the ceremony in the same hall as the reception.

Hors D'oeuvre were great and served hot. Bartender was great and respectful. Staff was also kind.

It philly so as a vendor i cant really complain about street load in and the distance but be ready for a workout lol I was the dj (obviously) and the stage space was bug enough to handle my sound equipment. Im sure i could have added more if it was needed.

My husband and I got married at Ballroom at the Ben on 1/28/23 and the entire event was SO well thought out and the process was seamless. From the start, Emily H. was responsive and so helpful in thinking through things that may need to be done/providing advice in situations where we were torn between more than one idea. She was so nice and made sure we felt comfortable and taken care of before the wedding day. Ott was also SO on top of things!! He ran our rehearsal and was able to corral all of our bridal party together to make sure everyone understood their places and when to walk on the day-of the wedding. You could tell he is very experienced in running events and I felt we were in safe, trusted hands the entire time. On the day-of the wedding, he was in contact with our florist, wedding planner, photographer, and everyone in between to make sure things were running smoothly. He greeted us and our parents and made them feel comfortable in the bridal suite when we were all waiting to go down the aisle. Throughout the reception he was attentive to our guests and (if anything did go wrong) we had no idea!! The entire event ran smoothly, and the food was absolutely amazing! Everyone commented on the venue, food, and of course, our french bulldog ice sculpture in honor of our little frenchie. We received many compliments about how unique certain things were (chocolate shots in the dessert room and our first dance on the dancefloor while everyone overlooked from the balcony) This was an absolutely amazing wedding and I'm so glad I chose Ballroom at the Ben to host it. Thank you all for everything!!

I was fortunate to photograph a wedding on New Years Eve for my business, Foschini Photography, at The Curtis Atrium and it was fantastic. Stunning venue both inside and out. Jorden & Lisa were phenomenal to work with. Highly recommended.

There is SO MUCH to see here. I'm really glad we stopped and made time! There is a video presentation with a live presenter that is worth making time to see, and just tons and tons of exhibits to view both upstairs and down. To give it a good go, I would say allow 2 hours to wander - but you could absolutely take longer if desired. It wasn't free, but I felt the ticket price of $14.50 was worth it!

If you're thinking of booking a venue in Philadelphia, THIS IS IT! I have been dreaming about my wedding day since I was little and they blew my expectations out of the water. Truly, I cannot recommend this venue, this catering and this staff enough. Everything is perfection. Alaina and Chris specifically are the dream team to work with. If you're looking for two people who will make your day unbelievably personalized, special and EASY then they are your team. The bridal suite was 10/10, they provided us with breakfast + lunch and amazing photo opportunities throughout the day. They allowed all my vendors to come in early, set-up with ease. Alaina from the very start has been incredibly accommodating to all of our requests. She made sure to check-in on us any chance she could throughout the night and with a smile! Chris, the GM, just wow. He was there our entire day and did so many things for us that made the night run smoothly and made it SO FUN. For ex, they surprised us with EXTRA dessert stations for our guests, had an Arts Ballroom Surprise for my husband and I (you'll have to book to find out) and a Champagne waterfall where my husband and I had a special moment with just us. They allowed us to customize our bar menu, got speciality beer for us, and had drinks in our hands all night long. I wish we could go back and do it all over again and again because it was the most perfect day. THANK YOU ARTS BALLROOM!

We attended a wedding in the Atrium. It was a beautiful facility with incredible service and kudos to the chef! The food was magnificent! From the cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres to the plated dinner. All of our table mates were raving that it was the best food at a wedding they had had.

By far one of the best experiences of all time. Amazing food. Amazing decor. And lovely service.

I went here for a wedding and I loved every minute of being there.

UNFORGETTABLE! - From the ownership, culinary team and staff who go above and beyond to ensure that your day is joyously perfect, to the exquisite venue with excellence abound, the Arts Ballroom is the only place to celebrate any momentous occasion!

For a bit of context, my wife and I were one of the many couples that had to delay their Wedding because of COVID. In total we went through four emotionally challenging date changes. Yet with each date change, Alaina and John always made themselves available providing updates, answering any and all questions and providing a caring and compassionate ear for our concerns. They listened intently and demonstrated what true hospitality is.

Fast forward to September 5th, our Wedding date... From the moment my wife and I joyously crossed over the threshold of the Arts Ballroom every concern melted away as we quickly realized that every detail was taken care of! The magnificent venue was decorated exactly as imagined down to the smallest detail of the accent lighting switching for our delicious plated dinner service! To borrow the words of Mary Poppins, our day was 'practically perfect in every way' and will forever be one of the best days of our lives and one that our friends and family will talk about for years!

Mallory - Our Day of Attendant greeted us with a loving smile and magically appeared whenever we needed anything!

Chris - Our Maître d' ensured that every one of our family and friends was taken care of as though it was their special day, including our parents, who still talk about the top-level service that they received that day.

Chef - D-lici-ous! - Typically venues struggle reproducing the same delicious food that couples have during their tasting. However, this is where the Arts Ballroom thrives! Every item that came out of the kitchen from the delectable passed hors d'oeuvres to the elegantly delicious plated service to the delightful desserts. Every bite was cheer perfection!

Alaina - Our Event Specialist was a couples dream come true!! She was our very own Fairy Godmother helping to make our dream Wedding become a reality! Every email and/or phone call was handled with the utmost of care, compassion and professionalism! She was incredibly detail orientated and truly cared about our Wedding experience treating our special day as though it were her own. We couldn't say enough wonderful things about Alaina. She was truly a gift and helped make our Wedding dreams come true!

John - One of the Arts Ballroom owners was incredible to work with from day one. His professionalism was unmatched and that was demonstrated in each of the employees that worked the evening of our Wedding. They were a well-oiled dream making machine and John was right there with them on our very special day constantly checking in and

If you are looking for a venue to celebrate any momentous occasion, look no further than the Arts Ballroom!! You won't regret it!

We love working with our photo booths at The Ballroom at the Ben. Load all the equipment is easy, the staff is very friendly and helpful and we love to see the transformation of that venue with those blue lights. We usually set-up our vintage booth next to the bar at the back which is a great location, because everyone can see us.

I wish I could rate the Arts Ballroom more that 5 stars, because it really deserves it! My husband and I were recently married there (Feb 2020), and our experience from the moment we walked in for our first tour to the last few minutes of our wedding day was outstanding. This was the first venue we looked at, and we walked out knowing we didn't need to see any other venue. The service, staff and management were spectacular. Kayleigh was our wedding coordinator, who was extremely accommodating, responsive and a pleasure to work with. Her and her team made all of our "wants" come true. The compliments and praise (especially for their cocktail hour, food and service!) are continuing to pour in from our guests, which makes booking this venue the best decision we made to celebrate our special day!

Beautiful venue! This is a hidden gem in center city. We had my job's winter gala here. Every detail was impeccable. It was as perfect as a wedding without the vows. They even arranged parking at the garage across the street. The cocktail reception was in a beautifully appointed room with a very large bar to accommodate a crowd. Several appetizer stations with delicious food. Dinner was in the grand ballroom which included a large dancefloor, a grand staircase, and large separate area for buffet dinner service. During the dance time they had the party lights that took the party to the next level. The acoustics were amazing. You can enjoy the music but it didn't drown out table conversations. I am certain that we will use this venue for years to come!
