The Logan Philadelphia, Curio Collection by Hilton 

If you’re visiting Philly for a dose of culture – look no further. Close to cultural attractions? Tick. Great facilities and dining on site? Tick. At the Logan Philadelphia you’ll find plenty to smile about.

From an impressive in-house art collection to an alluring indoor saltwater pool, the Logan has quite a few surprises up its sleeve. And this is before you consider its enviable address on historic Logan Square, which puts guests within easy reach of the Liberty Bell, the Rodin Museum and the Philadelphia Museum of Art – famed for its Rocky steps – and plenty more landmarks.You’ll need stamina so kick-start the day with a barista-made coffee at the Commons Café and tuck into a crab omelette from the farm-to-table menu at Urban Farmer before heading out to explore. And don’t forget to download the hotel’s own app, for a self-guided tour of its sculpture, paintings, and installations. The Logan’s 391 rooms come with city, courtyard and Parkway views and are comfortable and easy on the eye. Marble bathrooms come with salon-style hairdryers and spa-inspired products. When you’ve dosed up on history, isn’t it nice to know you can head ‘home’ and indulge in a massage, or lap the generously sized indoor pool? Come the cocktail hour, zip nine floors up to the romantic Assembly Rooftop and soak up panoramic views over the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
