"Inspired by the history of the city, the Renaissance Philadelphia Downtown Hotel in Center City hits on a Benjamin Franklin theme while still retaining a sense of modernity. The colonial nods include modern portraits of Franklin and the on-premise restaurant and bar, Franklin Social and Franklin Social Lounge, are hidden neighborhood gems for contemporary American dishes and craft beers. If you’re really in the mood to feel historic, order the Kite & Key cocktail (get it?), made with Bluecoat Gin, luxardo maraschino, creme de violette, and lemon juice. Head back upstairs to take in the view overlooking Independence Hall that many rooms offer." - Vox Creative
