"If apartment-sharing taught hotels anything, it’s that there’s a market for low-maintenance, low-touch accommodations where you live like a local resident — and it’s not hard to imagine that Philly’s Lokal hotels were named with this idea in mind. The Lokal Hotel Old City, on the city’s deeply historic North 3rd Street, pays tribute to the neighborhood with room names like Ben (Franklin) and Betsy (Ross), even as its interiors exhibit 21st-century urban-loft living at its finest — this means upscale details, contemporary design furniture, and an iPad loaded with intelligence on this uniquely interesting neighborhood." - Tablet Hotels
