Welcome to Philadelphia, where big-city excitement meets neighborhood charm. The second-largest city on the East Coast, Philadelphia is at the center of the Northeast Corridor and within a day's drive of 40 percent of the U.S. population.
Made famous as the birthplace of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” the city’s strength is in the culturally diverse neighborhoods that merge to create a unique and dynamic destination. But, modern Philadelphia offers much more than cobblestone streets and historical landmarks. Cultural, culinary, artistic and ethnic treasures abound in this city and its surrounding countryside.
What makes Philadelphia so memorable is its unique blend of experiences that you have to discover in person. By day, explore three centuries of history and architecture, beautiful neighborhoods, remarkable museum collections and endless shopping. After the sun sets, the city heats up with acclaimed performing arts, candlelight tours, delectable dining and vibrant nightlife.
The Conwell Inn is just 10 minutes by car, cab, subway or regional rail to everything that Philadelphia has to offer. Below are some of the close-by Philadelphia attractions that will make your stay at the Conwell Inn a truly memorable experience. |
