Luxury Stay
If you're searching for well-rated, price-not-an-option place to stay, then check out the Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia, situated directly in the city center. As with most Four Seasons hotels, luxury and elegance are top priority. With over 300 rooms and just under 100 suites, there is a guestroom style for anyone. Amenities are top-of-the-line, including cable television, CD players, feather pillows or hypo-allergenic by request, a private bar and internet access. Families traveling with children are also catered to, with the option for cribs and child-proof rooms.Of course, there's there the on-site spa and dining facilities. The spa is open everyday and offers guests a wide array of treatment options, most by appointment only. Restaurants include the fine-dining, "award-winning" Fountain Restaurant, which is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A children's menu is also available. There are also two, more casual options, the Swann Lounge and Swann Café, as well as in-room service.
Affordable Stay
Budget rooms are hard to come by, most are more on the moderate end of the price scale. The Gables Bed and Breakfast is probably one of the least expensive inns in the city. Rates still range from just over $100 USD to a bit over $150 USD, but they do include free parking and a "full" complementary breakfast. Fortunately guestrooms are full of amenities and most have private bathrooms.Mahalo suggests

- Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "The Four Seasons' luxury is refined and understated. Built in 1983, Logan Square's eight-story horseshoe offers views of the exquisite Swann Fountain and a lush interior courtyard."
- Fodor's Choice: "On the outskirts of the finance district, this landmark is within walking distance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the department stores along Walnut Street."

- Concierge.com Recommendation: "The neighborhood surrounding this sawtooth-fronted hotel on Rittenhouse Square "makes you feel like a resident." Contemporary rooms in gold and blue have Wi-Fi, as well as flat-screen TVs in bathrooms."
- Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "Among Philadelphia's luxury hotels, the Rittenhouse has the fewest and largest rooms and the most satisfying views -- which may be why Madonna stays here when she's in town."

- Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "This hotel, attached to Liberty One, one of the city's tallest buildings, opened with great fanfare as a gorgeous, Parisian-proper Ritz-Carlton in 1990. While it's a bit higher priced than other Westins, it's a value compared to its luxury peers."
