"Pod Philly is located on a central stretch of 19th Street that connects the shops and restaurants of Rittenhouse Square to the office-filled skyscrapers of Market Street. With its sunlit cafe, plus plenty of couches and communal tables inhabited by guests grabbing coffee and remote workers, the hotel’s lobby has a bit of an Ace Hotel vibe, which makes sense. The same architectural firm that helped envision Manhattan’s Ace, New York City-based Stonehill Taylor, also designed Pod Philly. It's a micro hotel, so the rooms won't feel particularly spacious, but floor-to-ceiling windows let in plenty of light, and supremely well-designed elements—custom benches that double as storage, nightstands that become desks, lots of Danish-made wall hooks—make the square footage feel more than sufficient." - Regan Stephens, Katie James Watkinson
