The Spotlight on The Conwell Inn

Historic Charm Meets City Sounds in North Philly

The Conwell Inn is a charming boutique hotel located right on Temple University’s historic campus. With a cozy, classic vibe and easy access to Philly’s top attractions, this hotel offers a peaceful retreat just a few miles from the city’s most popular concert venues.
Each room is thoughtfully furnished with elegant décor, a sitting area, and a work desk—perfect for relaxing post-show. Guests also enjoy free Wi-Fi, cable TV, and cozy perks like afternoon cookies and tea served daily.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just 2.5 miles from the Philadelphia Museum of Art and under 3.5 miles from Independence National Historical Park, The Conwell Inn is perfectly placed for concert-goers heading to shows in Center City or North Philly. It’s close enough to take a quick ride-share or SEPTA train to the venue, but tucked away on a quiet university campus for a peaceful night’s sleep. With a 12:00 PM check-out, it’s ideal for those who want to sleep in after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a low-key but central stay
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list tour stop
  • Couples combining music with a weekend getaway
  • Fans who want a quiet spot to recover after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want a boutique experience

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the surrounding Temple University area offers a variety of walkable casual dining spots and coffee shops. The hotel’s complimentary afternoon tea and cookies are a welcome touch, especially after a long day exploring the city. Breakfast options are available nearby, great for fueling up before heading home.

Nightlife Options

While The Conwell Inn keeps things quiet on-site, it’s just a short ride or train trip to Philly’s vibrant nightlife, including live music bars, local breweries, and late-night lounges. Perfect for concert-goers who want to extend the night—or wind down in peace.

What People Say

Guests praise the hotel’s friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and charming historic feel. Many mention the peaceful atmosphere and the convenience of being close to both campus events and city attractions. The free cookies are a consistent favorite in reviews.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the area can feel a bit quiet at night, and that parking options may be limited. If you're arriving late, plan ahead for nearby garages or street parking. There’s no elevator, so travelers with heavy gear may want to request a lower floor.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a quiet, comfortable stay with easy access to Philly's top music venues, The Conwell Inn hits all the right notes.

Glenda A, Milton, visiting Liacouras Center Sun, 15 June 2014

Had an amazing trip and the room was amazing. Only found one thing wrong - room needed dusting better, but this is just because I was a maid at one time and a typical guest may not notice, but I do. Thanks for a great beginning to my graduation weekend.

Liked: Room was amazing.
Disliked: Could have dusted; better alarm clock; was very dirty.

Very good

Disliked: Was quite hard to find the location as GPS is not getting you directly at the location if you are by car.The building has a general heating, and if is in between seasons, it can get cold.You must order and pay for refrigerator if you need one.
