Holmes 3 Stars Hotels

"Staying at this historic Philadelphia property feels like stepping into a living love letter to the city’s past. The moment you enter, the air hums with quiet grandeur — a place where stories seem to linger in the hallways like the scent of fine wine. And speaking of wine — what a spread! It’s said to be the most extensive wine selection in the world, and after catching a glimpse, I have no reason to doubt it. My next visit will certainly be a toast to that collection! The building itself is architectural poetry — stately, timeless, and full of character. Even the doors to each unit are miniature works of art, polished portals into cozy sanctuaries that radiate old-world charm. But what truly elevates the experience is the warmth of the people. The Front Desk Clerk wasn’t just helpful — he is the heartbeat of hospitality, offering a welcome that felt like a true introduction to the spirit of Philadelphia. And then, the serendipity — the kind of moment that turns a great stay into a treasured memory: just beyond my window, the water shimmered, and suddenly, the night erupted in a dazzling 15–20 minute fireworks display. Pure magic, framed perfectly by the historic windowpanes of my room. A stay here isn’t just accommodation — it’s an experience stitched together with elegance, warmth, and surprise. "

"Was very close to many things in the city. We had a great experience "

"It was wonderful to arrive in Philly and be able to check in early. The staff checked in via text and everything was smooth and pleasant. And when my friend needed coffee after the food service was closed, they even accommodated that. In addition, it's in a super central location. "

"Hôtel location was convenient to main historical attractions. Rooms were clean, the staff was attentive. Matthew at the front desk was friendly and so helpful with suggestions of things to do in the area."
