Home of the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and the Philadelphia Museum of Art (perhaps better known as Rocky’s training ground), the City of Brotherly Love has long been a city synonymous with North American history and pop culture, demonstrated by its increasing visitor numbers year on year.
Moving from its long-time home on the Ben Franklin Parkway, the latest addition to the city’s tourist offering is the new Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia at Comcast.
Tower, located atop Philly’s best known 60-storey icon. Opening its doors in mid-2019, the hotel boasts unrivalled views across the city skyline and chic, luxurious interiors in-keeping with its stellar international reputation. Guestrooms range from 350-square-foot doubles to the mammoth 2,100-square-foot Presidential Suite, sleeping three and capable of hosting a 10-guest dinner party, served from the butler’s kitchen. For some well-deserved R&R, a 57th-floor spa sanctuary offers treatments ranging from warm crystal massage to just-for-him treatment packages. Additional facilities include a large infinity pool, fitness centre and private spa room for couples.
Capitalising on Philly’s increasing reputation as a foodie destination, the Four Seasons will house three dining venues; the flagship restaurant will be run form the 59th floor by Michelin-starred chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, with a second venue – specialising in fine-dine seafood – headed by James Beard Award-winner, Greg Vernick.
Other highlights include the hotel’s boutique hair salon and nail bar, myriad private event spaces, 24-hour in-room dining and a 24-hour multilingual concierge team.
