The Logan Philadelphia, Curio Collection — steps from the Rocky steps in the museum district
If you are into art and want to be near the Philadelphia Museum of Art (the Rocky steps), The Logan on Logan Square is the right spot. The Assembly rooftop bar with city views is a much-talked-about draw.
The hotel sits on Logan Square at the end of the museum-lined Benjamin Franklin Parkway. It is an easy walk to the Philadelphia Museum of Art (the Rocky steps), the Franklin Institute and the Barnes Foundation. This is the most art-and-museum-friendly location in the city, a few blocks from City Hall.
"Head up to the Assembly rooftop bar at sunset and the whole Philadelphia skyline opens up."
Rooms are clean contemporary design in bright tones, many looking out over Logan Square or the city skyline. Sizes are good for this class, and what guests appreciate is the comfort and a location that lets you walk to the museums without getting in a car.
The most-talked-about feature is the Assembly rooftop bar with city views and a great evening atmosphere. The Urban Farmer steakhouse also draws praise. There is a fitness centre and well-designed lounge space, suiting both leisure and business travellers.
On value, rates start around 265 dollars a night, good for an upscale hotel in the museum district. If your itinerary centres on museums and art, staying here saves a lot of travel time.
One thing to know: Logan Square is a fair way from the dining and nightlife of Rittenhouse or Old City. The area around the hotel is quieter at night, so going out for food and drinks means a walk or a short ride, but by day this is the best museum location.
Bottom line: The Logan is a strong pick for art lovers who want to be near the Museum of Art, with a rooftop bar and good upscale value. If your plan centres on museums, it fits.
