The Spotlight on Penn's View Hotel Philadelphia

Historic Charm with a Front Row Seat to Philly’s Music Scene


Penn's View Hotel Philadelphia blends old-world elegance with modern comfort in the heart of Old City. Nestled just steps from the waterfront and a short walk from some of the city’s best-known concert venues, this boutique hotel delivers a warm, welcoming vibe perfect for music lovers.

With its exposed brick interiors, vintage charm, and cozy rooms, the hotel creates an intimate atmosphere that feels more like a stylish B&B than a downtown hotel.

Why Concert-goers love it


This hotel’s prime location makes it a favorite for fans headed to shows at venues like The Fillmore, Franklin Music Hall, or Theatre of Living Arts — all just a quick walk or ride away. After the music stops, retreat to a quieter part of the city for a peaceful night’s sleep. Guests love the flexible 12:00 PM checkout after a late night, and the 24-hour front desk makes late arrivals and post-show check-ins a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for


  • Groups of friends looking for walkable nightlife and a cool place to crash.
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list tour in Philly.
  • Couples planning a romantic weekend with a concert highlight.
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space without leaving the city buzz behind.
  • Budget-conscious music fans who still value location and ambiance.

Food and Drink Options


Penn’s View is home to an on-site wine cellar and Italian restaurant, perfect for pre-show dining or a late meal. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the hotel’s central location means plenty of walkable eateries are nearby, from pizza joints to upscale bites. Breakfast is available and appreciated by those recovering from a night of dancing.

Nightlife Options


Though there’s no live music on-site, the neighborhood is buzzing with bars, lounges, and pubs that stay open late. Enjoy local craft drinks at cozy watering holes just around the corner, or take a short walk to the city’s best nightlife spots.

What People Say


Guests rave about the hotel’s charming decor, helpful staff, and unbeatable location. Many love the historic feel, noting it adds character to their stay. Clean rooms, strong Wi-Fi, and a quiet atmosphere make it a standout choice for concert-goers who want more than a cookie-cutter chain experience.

Areas for Improvement


Some guests mention that rooms can feel a bit small, especially when traveling with lots of gear. Others note that the hotel’s historic nature means not all amenities are ultra-modern — but that’s part of the charm for many.

The Bottom Line


For music fans who want a cozy, character-filled stay close to the action but quiet enough to recharge, Penn’s View Hotel Philadelphia hits all the right notes.

I have always thought highly...

Liked: The room was charming.
Disliked: In my first room, the shower clogged, there burnt out lights in the bathroom, and the TV didn't work. When my room was changed, all was much better, except the sink in the bathroom clogged.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Irina Wed, 13 August 2025

Very disappointing

Liked: The check in staff was great. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable.
Disliked: The check in staff accommodated early check in I asked for. However, check in procedures took too long, taking up precious time, and I was a few minutes late for the wedding I was going to. When I checked out the next morning, I wanted to have coffee and a muffin they offered downstairs. However, there were no utensils. I came up to the front desk and asked for a utensil. The front desk employee was helping another customer by giving her a lot of information regarding surrounding attractions. There was no one else to help, so I had to wait for a while before she was able to leave the front desk, go in the back room, and get the utensils. When I left, I realized that I forgot my evening gown in the closet. I called the hotel the next day to ask about it, but they told me they didn't find it. They said they would call me back if they found it and they never did. Unfortunately, somebody who works at the hotel stole my dress and no one bothered to investigate and find it. I am very disappointed by this experience!

Charming historic hotel with friendly...

Liked: Charming historic hotel with great service - my flight was severely delayed and I was at risk of a "no show" fee. The front desk was so helpful in ensuring that my arrival was smooth, even when I showed up exhausted. I appreciated the free coffee and muffins in the morning as I was pressed for time (given the late arrival of my plane). I hope on my next visit I will have more time to explore the neighborhood. My room was quite clean, in particular the bathroom. I liked the historic furnishings, which made me feel cozy.
Disliked: .

I would 100% stay here...

Liked: Loved the staff, very kind and helpful! Great restaurant, we were given a 25% of coupon to use and I the “Panorama” was excellent! Delicious food and cocktails!
Disliked: Loud children running in the hallways earlyIn the morning and voices carried… (not hotels fault.) Also parking isn’t included with hotel stay.
