Kimpton Hotel Palomar Philadelphia effortlessly fuses the spirit of our vibrant Center City neighborhood with the allure of a refined urban retreat. As you settle in, connect and unwind in our stylish, Art Deco-inspired boutique hotel, you’ll find the ambience is sophisticated, but not without a sense of humor (this is Philly, after all). A mix of sleek textures and contemporary design details can be found alongside interesting artistic flourishes—note the three brightly colored busts of Benjamin Franklin in our living room—that act as a winking homage to the city’s storied history. As soon as you step inside our doors, you’ll discover these clever contrasts together with spacious guest rooms, exceptional amenities and personalized Kimpton service that make for an unforgettable stay.

Our family reunion vacation and stay at the Kimpton Hotel Palomar Philadelphia would not have gone as planned without the wonderful care and exceptional service from Naeema Green, Mark Ingram, Tashna, Tracyann, and Liezel Anne from the Front Office, Guest Experience, and Consultant teams. A very special thank you to Naeema, the Front Office Manager, who ensured that my mother and I had two beautifully appointed rooms close by for our family to enjoy. She helped curate our stay with such warmth, thoughtfulness, and care, making the entire experience feel seamless and special from the start. We were also grateful for the excellent housekeeping assistance provided by Erica Santos, who kept our rooms serviced to perfection, and to Aaron, our bellman, who made sure we were well taken care of throughout our stay. And then came the perfect ending to our evening. Square 1682 restaurant, hosted by Mr. Gerald Montague Jr., was truly the icing on the cake. He made us feel completely at home as we enjoyed a delicious meal and fantastic cocktails, with the kind of warm hospitality that turns a good evening into a memorable one. Thank you, Kimpton Hotel Palomar Philadelphia, for making our family reunion getaway so spectacular. From the inviting atmosphere and wonderful historic location to the peaceful noise levels that allowed for a proper rest, excellent value, and truly top-notch service, our stay was filled with so many thoughtful touches. Most of all, we appreciated the people who made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. We left with wonderful memories and definitely look forward to returning!

Nice hotel that is in a central location. Rittenhouse square is walking distance. Lots of restaurants and shops in the area. The team members are great. Akira and Laura are very kind and welcoming! The hotel is very pet friendly. The onsite restaurant, Square 1682 even has a nice dog menu that is quite an amazing value. Our dog loved it! The hotel also had dog beds and dog bowls available. The rooms are nicely decorated. Everything functioned as intended and without issue. I have recommended this hotel to friends and family, especially if they have pets! Would stay here again in the future!

We had a block of wedding guests stay at the Kimpton for our daughter's wedding last weekend. We also hosted a brunch the next day in the Burnham Room on the 25th floor. Our guests raved about the hotel, terrific location and responsiveness of the staff. A special shout out to Kienan Finley (Banquet supervisor) and his team: Khalif, Mario, Sandy & Luftor for our brunch the next morning. The Burnham room is beautiful, the food was excellent and the service was absolutely terrific. Kienan & team delivered what we'd hoped for and more for our special occasion. We highly recommend!
