Info
Hampton Inn Philadelphia Center City-Convention Center is strategically located at 1301 Race Street in Philadelphia's Washington Square West neighborhood, just two blocks from the Pennsylvania Convention Center. This 24-story hotel, renovated in 2022, features 250 rooms with ergonomic workstations and soundproof windows that effectively block the urban noise. Business travelers appreciate the 24-hour business center with free printing services, while families enjoy the indoor pool with panoramic city views. The hotel's standout feature is its Philly Cheesesteak Hour every evening, where guests can sample variations from different local vendors. Its proximity to both the Reading Terminal Market (5-minute walk) and Independence Hall (15-minute walk) makes it ideal for both leisure and business visitors. The lobby's interactive digital wall showcases real-time historical facts about Philadelphia's founding fathers. Dining options around the hotel reflect Philadelphia's culinary diversity. Reading Terminal Market, America's oldest continuously operating farmers' market, houses iconic stalls like DiNic's Roast Pork (James Beard Award winner) for their sharp provolone-topped sandwiches and Beiler's Donuts for Amish-style pastries. Upscale options include Vernick Food & Drink, where the honey-glazed chicken with fermented chili sauce has become legendary. Budget-conscious travelers frequent Middle Child Clubhouse for their Schmitter breakfast sandwiches or Federal Donuts for Korean-style fried chicken. Don't miss John's Roast Pork, a James Beard America's Classic winner hidden under I-95, serving roast pork sandwiches since 1930. Government and corporate hubs are concentrated nearby. The Philadelphia City Hall, the world's largest municipal building, houses the Mayor's Office in its ornate French Second Empire tower. Tech startups cluster around Cira Centre, a crystalline office complex designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli, while pharmaceutical giants like GlaxoSmithKline occupy modern towers along Market Street. The historic Philadelphia Stock Exchange building now hosts fintech incubators. Of particular note is the Comcast Technology Center, the tallest building in Philadelphia, featuring a 12-story vertical farm and public observation deck. Sports facilities cater to both professionals and amateurs. The Wells Fargo Center, home to the 76ers and Flyers, offers behind-the-scenes tours of locker rooms and the arena's ice-making system. More unique is FDR Park's Skatepark, one of the country's oldest concrete skateparks, recently renovated with Olympic-standard bowls. Fitness enthusiasts use the RiverRink Winterfest for seasonal ice skating with skyline views, while rowers rent shells from Boathouse Row, the Victorian-era headquarters of American collegiate rowing. The Penn Park Squash Courts provide rare public access to this typically exclusive sport. Educational institutions showcase Philadelphia's intellectual heritage. The University of Pennsylvania's Gothic-style campus contains Benjamin Franklin's original Academy building and cutting-edge nanotechnology labs. Curtis Institute of Music, among the world's most selective conservatories, offers free student performances in its historic hall. For younger students, Science Leadership Academy pioneers project-based learning in a building featuring a rooftop weather station. The American Philosophical Society Museum, founded by Franklin, displays Jefferson's handwritten draft of the Declaration of Independence. Historical sites tell America's founding stories. Independence Hall, where both the Declaration and Constitution were debated, requires timed tickets to see the original Rising Sun chair where Washington presided. More intimate is Betsy Ross House, where costumed interpreters demonstrate 18th-century upholstery techniques. Industrial history comes alive at Eastern State Penitentiary, the world's first true penitentiary with its revolutionary (and controversial) solitary confinement system. For hidden history, the Mutter Museum displays medical oddities like Einstein's brain slices in a Victorian cabinet of curiosities. Nightlife blends tradition with innovation. Franklin Music Hall hosts indie bands in a former electric factory, while Chris' Jazz Cafe preserves Philly's bebop legacy in an intimate basement setting. Themed experiences include The Franklin Bar, hidden behind a fake ATM door, serving cocktails in vintage science glassware. For something completely different, PHS Pop-Up Garden transforms vacant lots into seasonal beer gardens with live plant installations. Transportation networks are comprehensive. Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) is 20 minutes via SEPTA's Airport Line ($6.75), with the Jefferson Station stop just three blocks from the hotel. The Broad Street Line subway connects to sports complexes, while Indego bike-share docks surround the property. A unique option is the Philly PHLASH downtown loop bus ($2/ride) that hits all major attractions. Ride-sharing pickups use the hotel's dedicated lane on 13th Street. Budget lodging alternatives include Apple Hostels of Philadelphia, featuring a rooftop deck with Liberty Bell views, and La Reserve Bed & Breakfast, a Victorian townhouse with complimentary wine hours. The Alexander Inn offers art deco charm at mid-range prices, while Motel 6 Philadelphia Downtown provides basic rooms near Chinatown. Most distinctive is The Wanderlust, a pod-style hotel near Reading Terminal Market with Japanese-style capsule rooms. Guest reviews (4.3/5 average) consistently praise the hotel's exceptional soundproofing and custom Hampton beds with adjustable lumbar support. Business travelers highlight the USB-equipped meeting tables in conference rooms, while families appreciate the free museum ticket program for kids. Critical reviews mention slow elevator service during conventions, though the 2022 renovation added two new high-speed elevators. Notable amenities include the Philly Overnight package with free parking (rare in Center City) and borrowable business attire for forgotten dress clothes. Local insider tips: Ask the concierge for Secret Benjamin a map showing all Franklin-related sites not on standard tours, including his privy pits. Hotel guests get priority access to Lights of Liberty after-hours show at Independence Park. Every Thursday, the lobby hosts Taste of Reading samples from market vendors. Don't miss the hotel's historic photo archive in the elevator banks, showing Race Street's evolution from cobblestones to skyscrapers.
