“Newly renovated, immaculately clean, excellent location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

We enjoyed a weekend getaway to center city Philadelphia at the Latham Hotel. We got a great rate through Hotels.com and were very pleased with the hotel. The restaurant is still being renovated, but the rest of the hotel is very nice. No pool or fancy lobby, but very clean, new rooms with comfortable bedding and the hotel is right in the heart of shopping and great restaurants. Free coffee and juice in the lobby in the mornings. The cheapest place to park in the area is a couple blocks away at the Latimer Street parking garage. We just left the car at the garage and either walked around the area or took a taxi to other city destinations. We would definitely stay at the Latham again!!

Room Tip: They DO allow dogs, so be aware of that possibility if you care.

“Wow what a renewal!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

This hotel has gone under a complete revamp. The old decor was dated, it is now fresh, clean and inviting. The bed was comfortable with a duvet and plenty of pillows. Bathrooms are bright and clean. The bathrooms have a blow dryer and a magnifying mirror. Our room had a refrigerator and flat screen tv and free wi-fi. You can see that a lot of thought went into the color scheme, style & the design. I would recommend this hotel highly. Oh and staff were kind and helpful. The restaurant is still not open but word is that it should open May 2012.

Room Tip: Room 903 on the corner is a room with a view

“Excellent location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

Our stay at the Latham was great. The location is excellent, the room was modern and clean, the beds were very comfortable. The staff even found a room for my daughter to practice--she had an audition at Temple the next day.

“Wonderful stay at the Latham Hotel in Philly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

We stayed at the Latham Hotel on New Year's Eve. The staff was so nice and helpful. We arrived early and were able to check in right away. The room was modern and elegant. The bed was so comfortable that we enjoyed a good night's sleep. The bathroom was modern with Neutrogena products. They offer coffee and juice in the morning near the reception area and there is a 24 hour fitness room. The Latham is located on South 17th Street and Walnut, which is only a block away from Rittenhouse Square and great shopping outside the door on Walnut Street. We met friends here and all of us enjoyed our stay at the the Latham. Can't wait to visit Philly and the Latham again!

“Wonderful Place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 December 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed on 12/1/11 for a funeral and our stay was phenominal! Even though we did not have much time to relax the staff helped make our trip go very smooth. The doorman Taylor hailed us a taxi and it was waiting for us when we came down. The front desk staff was incredibly friendly and Alison was a doll! From the rooms to the lobby everything was spotlessly clean! The newly renovated rooms were beautiful and we had a great view of Walnut. We will definitley be back!
