We love when friends and family come to visit us in Philadelphia, but when a pull-out couch won’t do, we kindly guide them towards Philadelphia’s hotels. And thanks to these pillars of hospitality, our loved ones keep coming back. So as we approach Thanksgiving — when we’ll be counting on them the most — we salute Philadelphia’s hotels.

Dear Room Service Junkies,

With everything from AAA Five Diamonds to pet services, our hotels have more than mini shampoo bottles. (Don’t worry — we have those too.)

1. The Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia has earned the prestigious AAA Five Diamond status for 25 consecutive years.

2. The Rittenhouse Hotel and Condominiums have kept their Five Diamond title for 18 consecutive years.

3. For the last nine years, The Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia has earned AAA’s Five Diamond honors.

4. For the Travel + Leisure “World’s Best Awards” issue, voters consistently rank The Rittenhouse Hotel and the Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia in the list of the “Top 100 Hotels: Continental U.S. and Canada.”

5. Philly even welcomes pets. Animal Fair Magazine gave Philly its “Five Bone” award for being the nation’s most pet-friendly destination.

6. Philadelphia welcomed its first Kimpton Hotel — Hotel Palomar — earlier this fall. Square 1682, the hotel’s restaurant, is the Kimpton chain’s first LEED-registered restaurant.

7. The Philly Overnight® Hotel Package, available at 35+ Center City hotels, includes free hotel parking, a stuffed teddy bear and special deals at area restaurants, shops and attractions.

This Thanksgiving, We’re Thankful For… [uwishunu]
