This is our third trip to the Independent. It offers a terrific location, lovely rooms, and wonderfully helpful staff. After a 5-hour trip to Philly -should have been two- a staff member greeted us and asked about plans for dinner. When I explained that we were tired and considering getting something quick because we did not want to wait, he... More

We were very pleased with this hotel. Located just north of Society Hill and just south of Rittenhouse Square, it is very well situated in midtown with easy access to public transportation, restaurants, the famous Philadelphia Wall Murals and Starbucks (!). . Rooms were large and comfortable, staff was very helpful and prices were reasonable. Check their website for some... More

My hub & I much prefer small boutique hotels to the mega chains. This hotel fits the bill with (24?) spacious rooms & baths, comfy, firm beds & towels that are much nicer than the the thin, scratchy versions in so many chains. it is in an ideal location to walk to Independence Hall, Liberty Bell, & numerous restaurants, bars,...

At check-in we were greeted by Nick, by far the nicest and most helpful person at the front desk of a hotel ever! The room was spacious, clean and awesomely decorated. It didn't feel like a hotel, it felt like a quest room at a friends house. This was my first time in Philadelphia and The Independent made my visit... More

I used to live in Philadelphia and remember when this hotel had opened ten or so years ago under another name. I was there one night last week for business and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff was extremely attentive and friendly. The hotel is sparkling clean. My third floor room was enormous, with a very, very comfortable bed,a double-headed shower... More

When we booked our reservation at The Independent, we looked at pictures of the rooms. We thought we knew exactly what we were getting and were comfortable with it. The Queen Loft Suite seemed just right for us and our two children. Suffice to say, we got far more than we bargained for. The room was absolute perfection. The pictures... More

The Independent is a quaint, small hotel just walking distance from many of the historical attractions, shopping, and great restaurants. The staff was very friendly and courteous, and the complimentary breakfast delivered to our doors each morning was a treat. I especially like that there were hardwood floors. They make it very easy to see how well the room has... More

We were pleasantly surprised at how large and well appointed our King room was. It definitely exceeded our expectations. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Philadelphia. We lucked out and got a corner room so I'm not sure if that meant we had more windows or space, but it definitely was a great room.
