Our stay at the Palomar Philadelphia was excellent. From the bell staff to the front desk to the free wine reception, everything was great. the room was clean and comfortable and you can't beat the location. And the rate was very reasonable. Rittenhouse is beautiful and a great starting point to walk to anywhere in the city. I highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for a place to stay in Philly.

The staff were wonderful, polite and very helpful. Nile served tea and coffee in the lobby in the morning and made for a very pleasant start to the day. The valet team was extremely helpful. The rooms were very clean and the bed was very comfortable

A different experience for us. Heart of the City based with busy streets. The hotel is quite funky with a soundtrack to match. Anyone playing Barbara Lynn’s You’re Losing Me is alright by me. Bar, Restaurant is well stocked with attentive staff and the whole vibe around the place makes you feel 20 years younger. Loved it.

This review is late in coming, but I’m definitely happy to finally have a moment to share yet another outstanding experience at the Kimpton Palomar. It was just a one night stay this time, but Tashna and her team again made me feel like the Palomar is a taste of home away from home. Tashna secured a stellar room for me on short notice, and Tracey Ann graciously got me checked in. Gerald once again made sure I had a fantastic meal at Square 1682, while Alex mixed a couple of extraordinary craft cocktails for me at the bar. Qadry, ever the low-key, dignified, gentleman bellman, made sure my belongings were secure while I waited to leave for my flight. And throughout my stay, Leizel always seemed to cross paths with me at the right moment to share a kind greeting and make me feel like the Palomar lobby was my own living room. It also bears mentioning that whenever you do wish to leave the comfortable confines of the hotel, the Kimpton Palomar’s location has you footsteps away from many of Center City’s most popular restaurants and venues. Priceless proximity. Thanks again to the Palomar staff. I look forward to seeing you again soon.

The room was small but comfortable. The breakfast was amazing. The best part, though, was the hospitality provided by true hoteliers, Natasha and Tashna, who both made me feel like the Kimpton Palomar will be my home away from home whenever I’m in Philadelphia. Kind, curious, and accommodating, they both stood out amongst the rest of the wonderful staff, which included the outstanding hostess in Square, named Francesca. The tail end of my stay coincided with my birthday. Paige, Gia, Erika, and their colleagues went out of their way to acknowledge my day with congratulations and a wonderful card and chocolate. Tashna shined again, offering me a complimentary cocktail, and thereafter, Gerald saluted my night by offering a gratis dinner and nightcap at the Square bar. With my only original intention having been to stay close to my client’s office, this was a true delight of a stay. A throwback experience of good old fashioned hospitality.
