Hotel Help??

Hi there. I waited too long to book and can%26#39;t get into the Omni. We want to do Old Town, Art Museum, Rodin Museum. So, the next three in list are (from least expensive to most expensive):

Sofitel

Hyatt at Penn%26#39;s landing

The Rittenhouse Hotel

I am leaning toward Hyatt at Penn%26#39;s landing. Any comments regarding the above three? We will be using all public transportation and cabs when necessary. Thanks.

The Sofitel is excellent. I have stayed there 3 times in the past 2 years: nice rooms, great location, very good service. No experience with the other two. All three, however, get generally good marks from TripAdvisor members.

Hyatt is on the Delaware River, closer to Old City but not exactly in it. Rittenhouse is on Rittenhouse Square (prime location) and very marginally closer to the Art and Rodin Museums than is the Sofitel (not enough difference to even enter your decision-making). Transit, cabs and walking will be fine from any of the three.

Depends on your budget and what you are looking for. The Hyatt is nice, but being at Penn%26#39;s Landing, its a bit of a walk to get to anywhere of use. The Rittenhouse is VERY nice, but as you say, expensive.

You might also want to consider the Marriott Center City, the Holiday Inn-Independence hall, Residence Inn-Center City as options, all are centrally located.

Depending on the Weather you could walk from the Marriotts to the Rodin and from there either a long walk or a short cab or Phlash ride to the PMA.

And by Old Town, I assume you mean Olde City?
