Historic Comfort Steps from Philly's Music Scene

Modern comfort meets colonial charm at the Philadelphia Marriott Old City, located right in America’s most historic square mile. Just an 8-minute stroll from iconic landmarks like Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, this stylish hotel blends timeless architecture with contemporary convenience. Surrounded by cobblestone streets, world-class dining, and vibrant local culture, it’s an ideal home base for concert-goers looking to explore the city before and after the show.
