Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia at Comcast Center — 360° city views from the city's tallest tower
If you want to sleep at the very top of Philadelphia, the Four Seasons sits on the upper floors of the Comcast Technology Center, the tallest building in the city, with wide-open 360 degree views. Honestly, in this bracket it is the most luxurious pick in town.
The hotel occupies floors 48 to 60 of the Comcast Technology Center in the heart of Center City, right by Suburban Station with Regional Rail to PHL airport and every part of town. Step out and Logan Square, Rittenhouse and City Hall are all walkable. This is the business and best-dining core of the city.
"The high-speed elevator to the 60th floor, then the whole city laid out below — this is exactly what you pay for."
Entry-level rooms run larger than most luxury hotels, finished in warm modern tones, with floor-to-ceiling glass that makes the city view part of the room. Marble bathrooms have soaking tubs, and what guests note repeatedly is how quiet it is despite being downtown, because you are high above the street noise.
Service is what sets the Four Seasons apart. Staff remember your name and handle everything from reservations to transfers. The Jean-Georges restaurant on floor 59 is one of the best-view fine-dining rooms in the city, and the spa and indoor pool on floor 57 look out over a skyline you will not find elsewhere.
On value, honestly this is not for everyone. Rates start around 545 dollars a night and climb in high season and during big conventions. If you sightsee all day and just crash, paying this much may not pay off. But if this is a honeymoon or special occasion, or you value the best views and service, it is worth every dollar.
One thing to know: you enter through the Comcast Center lobby before riding up to the hotel lobby on floor 60. Some find this confusing at first, but it is a non-issue once you are used to it, and the upside is real privacy with no busy through-lobby.
Bottom line: the Four Seasons Philadelphia sells world-class views and service in a city that is better value than New York. If the budget is there and you want a stay you will remember, go for it. If you are mostly out exploring on a tighter budget, there are better-value picks in our list.
