Fresh and Friendly
My family and I were in Philly for a wedding this weekend and had the pleasure of staying at the Latham. It appeared that they were just finishing a few final touches on a full remodel of the hotel rooms, lobby, bar, and restaurant. The decor was fresh and modern retro. I am not sure if "modern retro" is an official design, but it is what it felt like to me. :)
The rooms and beds were very comfortable, but there was not much of a view from our 7th floor room (not a big deal). The rooms in this historic hotel have varied square footage, so ask for one of the rooms on the end of the hallway if you want a bigger room. The location of the hotel was excellent and walking distance to some great restaurants and shopping. The front desk staff, bartenders, and doormen were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again!
