"At first glance, you might think you’ve been transported to a Nordic nation, what with the lobby’s light wood finishes, muted color palette, clean lines, and cozy wingback leather chairs. Hospitality 3 hotelier Paul McGowan (a former Starwood executive) tapped award-winning local architecture firm Digsau to infuse this 212-room hotel on the busy corner of 33rd and Chestnut streets with a sleek yet approachable design. Inside the modern, 10-story structure, the Scandinavian-mod vibe carries over to the guest rooms, which are minimalist in decor, but cover all the essentials, including a cozy bed, spacious desk, and leather armchair and ottoman. Most importantly, the fact that you're on not one, but two, college campuses doesn't mean the staff or concierge is too laid-back: McGowan's high-level hospitality experience means that top-notch service is a priority." - Regan Stephens, Katie James Watkinson
