Latham Hotel Downtown- Philadelphia

Every experience at the Latham was fantastic. The room was clean and comfortable. On the sixth floor I could see surrounding building and the busy street below out the window. Normal amount of city noise, but not enough to keep me up at night. Mattress and pillows to die for! Polite and helpful staff. Very sleek and modern. Best weekend getaway spot, right the in the middle of everything!

The Latham provided a wonderful respite in the middle of the city. The room was very well-appointed and comfortable. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. I only missed having a coffee/tea maker in the room.

In spite of renos, room was more than adequate, all the staff were friendly and helpful. Excellent location. Will definitely stay here next time I am in Philly!

It's the location that's make this hotel special! Hope they can finish the construction soon.

Bellman- Joe was kind. Opening doors, getting cats valeted, holding bags. Room was beautiful. Hotel was quiet. Gym was one of the best.

While the renovation of The Latham's public areas is not quite complete, the rooms are and ours was nicely done and very comfortable. Staff was helpful and friendly. No complaints, except for the struggle I had with the Orbitz website to confirm my reservation.

Boutique hotel near Rittenhouse Square that is under rennovation. Minimal guest services but very nicely appointed room. No hotel airport shuttle although that is listed as one of the amenities.

This hotel is under renovation so the rooms are discounted. Only the restaurant and lobby are not done. Though the elevator was a bit of a drag since there was only one working. There are definitely some kinks to be worked out, but that's why the room was less than it would have been. The staff was very accomodating to make up for the construction.

Although the personnel at the hotel were pleasant and friendly, the hotel itself leaves alot to be desired. The small lobby is under construction, with no bar/lounge area or restroom available upon entering. I asked the doorman about this, and he said the expected completion date is about a year from now. I was in Philadelphia for a college reunion; "just the girls", and although the location was wonderful, the hotel is in need of some major renovations. I have stayed here on several occasions in years past, and remember it as much more elegant. The hotel room was clean, yet the furniture was bordering on shabby. There was no fan in the bathroom, and it was almost hard to breathe after getting out of the shower. The room was certainly satisfactory, but again, details need to be attended to. I am planning a party for family and friends after the holidays with many out of town guests, and had considered the Latham for accommodations, but will look elsewhere under the present conditions. I am hopeful that the renovations will be a success, as I would be willing to give it another try.

This was once a charming boutique hotel. We have stayed here many times, but this time our room was very shabby, with dirty carpet and threadbare chairs, dingy lighting and some surly employees. They claim to be undergoing total renovation to be completed spring 2011. I'm not sure I would take a chance on this being done any time soon.
