"Located just a block from Rittenhouse Square in Center City, Kimpton’s Hotel Palomar Philadelphia makes its home in the former headquarters of the American Institute of Architects. No surprise — the 1929 Art Deco building is a beauty, and the hotel does well to make art and architecture its theme. Period details and contemporary, eye-catching works by Philadelphia artists abound. Not that it feels like a museum; the place positively glows with warmth — in the lighting, in the soft carpets and neutral-toned furnishings, and neither last nor least in the gorgeous fireplace that forms the centerpiece of the lobby lounge." - Tablet Hotels
