What an experience! From the front door to check-in to check-out, the staff was awesome. This location is perfect, right across the street from Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, and just minutes of walking away from all the major historical sites. You don’t even need a car! If you’re flying in, just grab an Uber from the airport. There’s also a restaurant attached to the hotel, Red Owl Tavern. We started our day with some delicious pancakes and eggs (see photo) and ended it with Murray’s 1/2 chicken, you need to try! (sorry, forgot to take a photo!). Big shoutout to Kia and Roshid at the Kimpton and the amazing team at Red Owl Tavern - Rich, Kayle, Rena, Sasha, and Cassie. You all made our stay memorable!

We have stayed at the Monaco for many years and this visit did not disappoint! Rather, once again our expectations were exceeded. All the staff are friendly and professional! They clearly demonstrate the Kimpton approach to treating guests. Our room was clean and well maintained. The hotel provided evening wine hour… a nice treat. We enjoyed breakfast/ brunch at the restaurant… Red Owl Tavern. And, I should mention that the location is convenient and perfect to visit historic sites. We participate in the IHG One Rewards program which provides additional benefits for each stay. A special thank you to Roshid ( the best concierge ever) and Rachel, who was lovely and provided wonderful assistance when we checked in. They are the reason we will return again and again😊

Recently came to Philly for surgery a needed a comfortable place to stay. My boyfriend had booked for me and a friend. Regrettably we had came across some bumps in the beginning. Once we voiced our concerns to management Rachel smoothed out everything! She went above and beyond to make use feel comfortable and took care of us our whole entire stay. She was attentive, professional, sweet, and accommodating. She will be the reason we come back when we visit Philadelphia again.

We were looking to stay close to Penns Landing for a weekend wedding. Unfortunately, the hotel reviews discouraged us from booking. However, we are thrilled that we booked Hotel Monaco. From checking in with Roshid who was pleasant, professional and a huge Spider Man fan our stay was over the top. Our room was immaculate (huge shoutout to house keeping staff) bright clean and updated. Text message follow-up from Roshid to make sure we had a delightful stay. Only disappointment was both nights of our stay private party's were booked at the rooftop lounge. We have stayed at many hotels in Philadelphia over the years but we must say other than the Ritz Carlton none compared to the Hotel Monaco. Highly recommend!

We didn't like this hotel as much as the Sofitel, which was full. We probably wouldn't stay at Hotel Monaco again. Decoration was weird; no hangers in the room; housekeeping knocked and opened our door despite the occupied signed on the door.
