Top hotels in Olde Kensington
Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia
Great, beautiful hotel in the heart of the mid city. The only negative was the no parking on site. There are however, parking garages all around.

The Windsor Suites
The hotel is generally nice, reasonably priced, and in a good vacation. There is no breakfast option Monday to Wednesday, and there is a single vending machine with 6 choices of drinks and no price advertised on the machine.

Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square
Our room was huge and the beds so comfortable. Everything was spotless. The only breakfast option was the coffee shop which wasn't very exciting, best to find a local diner.
