Located in Philadelphia's Rittenhouse-Fitler Historic District, this 4-star Philadelphia hotel features 20 distinctively decorated rooms with Frette linens and Molton Brown amenities. The Franklin Lounge maintains its Prohibition-era character through Art Deco interiors and a 1930s four-tap absinthe fountain. Guest rooms include 48-inch TVs, personal safes, and complimentary WiFi, while suites add fireplaces and marble bathrooms. The Franklin Mortgage & Investment Company, a hidden speakeasy-style bar, serves craft cocktails and provides guests with a complimentary glass of wine or beer.
