Kimpton Hotel Palomar Philadelphia by IHG
The place is great. The front staff is great. The restaurant is also really nice. The bartenders - especially Quint is awesome! Get yourself an espresso martini every morning, they are worth it. Only downfall is the elevators are slow and the maids are horrible!
