Located in the Center City neighborhood, this 1930s National Historic Landmark building (formerly the Pennsylvania Savings Fund Society), is situated across from the Market East train station and the convention center. Other popular nearby attractions include the Betsy Ross House, Fairmount Park, the Please Touch Museum, the Adventure Museum, and Camden's Children's Garden. The modern-Art Deco guest rooms feel spacious with their ten-foot ceilings, and their upscale amenities include 300-thread-count linens, Bloom toiletries (with natural plant and herb extracts), chaise lounges, flat-screen televisions, doeskin robes by Chadworth & Haig, and large work areas with ergonomic chairs. There are three levels of Concierge Level rooms which include entry to the private library and lounge. Guests can keep up with their workouts in the nicely equipped Balance Spa & Fitness center--a 15,000-square-foot-space including a full-service spa, fitness room, and heated indoor lap pool. After a hard day of work or play, guests can relax with a delicious meal at Solefood. The hotel's on-site restaurant offers fresh seafood in an eclectic-Art Deco setting.
