The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express Philadelphia-Midtown By IHG

Central Comfort Steps from the Stage

Modern, convenient, and right in the heart of Center City Philadelphia, the Holiday Inn Express Philadelphia-Midtown an IHG Hotel offers a no-hassle stay just minutes from top music venues and historic sites. With spacious rooms and free Wi-Fi, it’s a smart pick for travelers looking to balance location, comfort, and value.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert lovers appreciate this hotel’s prime location—you’re just a quick subway ride or short rideshare from most major Philly venues. Despite being downtown, rooms are generally quiet for post-show recovery. The 15:00 check-in and 11:00 check-out offer decent flexibility for weekenders or those catching a morning train.

  • Solo travelers catching a dream show
  • Couples making a weekend out of a concert date
  • Fans who want a peaceful night’s sleep after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music fans who still want amenities and location

Food and Drink Options

  • Free hot breakfast every morning—perfect after a late night
  • In-room coffeemakers for that pre-show caffeine boost
  • Plenty of great walkable dining options nearby for pre- or post-concert meals
  • No on-site restaurant, but food delivery and late-night bites are easy to find in this part of town

Nightlife Options

  • Steps from bars, lounges, and theaters on the Avenue of the Arts
  • Quick access to clubs and live music spots via SEPTA or rideshare
  • Return to a low-key hotel atmosphere after a big night out

Ann, Longport, visiting Union League of Philadelphia

A few hours before I registered my wallet was stolen; all my credit cards, I.D. etc. The young girl at the front desk was so compassionate and kind. It really helped my stress level. I wish I could remember her name.

Liked: Front desk was excellent.

Philly delight

Liked: Location, Ambiwnce, Room size, Comfort and Mr Kevin
Disliked: Requested for check in before time. They told me it's subject to availability. Reached by 2pm on 11th August. They had informed us our room is not ready. But they started allotting rooms to other guests as soon as they arrived. They asked us to show the whole 10 days payment amount and 50 USD security deposit in a single card during check in. We had to wait for more than 2 hours.

Good hotel at city center

Liked: Usual Holiday Inn breakfast, comfy bed, big, quiet room.
Disliked: Bathroom divided in two (bath/toilet booth and wash basin in room), has advantage and disadvantage as well. Fridge is noisy at night.
