My husband and I stayed at the Kimpton Palomar in Philadelphia for a few days as the weather turned freezing. Not to worry, as there is a cozy fireplace in the lobby and at 5:00 truffle popcorn, a tasty merlot, Pinot Grigio and hot apple cider are served every evening. The staff is friendly and accommodating, our room and bathroom were spacious and king bed comfortable. The workout room has Peletons, free weights, elliptical and treadmills. There is a yoga mat in the rooms and we used the large sized umbrella they lent us. The heavy outside doors were always manned and being opened for us. We had a delicious Caesar salad with grilled shrimp in the restaurant. Highly recommend. There is a daily $28 resort fee but a $20 daily credit can be used in the restaurant or to purchase snacks or alcohol from the front desk. All in all we had a wonderful stay. Many great restaurants nearby as well as the Rittenhouse Square Park which was lit up beautifully.

I gave my stay a 4 star recommendation just to be clear on my entire experience as a whole. This hotel definitely checks the boxes for the price. What set this experience apart was some of the staff. One person in particular who stood out at the front desk is Simmy. She truly cared about my personal situation and was willing to try to accommodate me at every turn. As someone who travels for both personal and work related trips, people like Simmy make the difference in the experience. Side note, the restaurant staff was incredibly accommodating as well. I would 100% recommend this hotel for those on work related trips without a business center.

I had an excellent experience staying at the Kimpton Hotel Palomar this last weekend. The restaurant in the hotel provided excellent food and drinks and all of the staff in the building were kind and extremely helpful. I especially appreciate the desk staff and cleaning staff, who were invaluable in finding and returning to me some items I had accidentally left in the room after check out. I highly recommend the Hotel Palomar and definitely plan on staying here again in the future!

I love Kimpton Hotels but this one needs a bit of an overhaul. This hotel is in a great location and the staff is wonderful, BUT this is not luxury and the pictures on the website don’t quite match up to the real deal! Honestly, I’ve stayed at nicer Marriott Spring Suites!

The Mr. and I recently spent a weekend in Philadelphia. Our goal was to check out the historic sites and eat good food. While not in the 'thick of things' the hotel was certainly walkable to all the areas and things we were interested in seeing and doing. The hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and all the staff we interacted with was very professional and helpful. Breakfast was in Square 1682. While not free (unless you are Diamond like my Mr.) it offered a nice variety of options plus a full bar. If in Philadelphia again, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. PRO TIP: The Philly PLASH is a great, low cost way to get around the city.
