Where to Eat, Stay, and Shop in Philadelphia | Vogue

"Transporting from the moment you check in, this 50-room boutique hotel opened last August on a quiet residential block in Fishtown yet feels like a European villa, with a handsome oak staircase, an open-air courtyard, and a heated pool. Despite the escapist vibe, it’s rooted in the neighborhood—the main “Mansion House” dates to 1769. Rooms are outfitted with Le Labo bath products and Turkish linens, and every suite adds homey touches like discrete kitchenettes stocked with local treats, a Nespresso maker, and a gooseneck tea kettle. Downstairs, the buzzy restaurant Bastia continues the best-of-both-worlds theme with a Sardinian and Corsican menu built on produce from nearby Lancaster County farms." - Eliseé Browchuk, Ariel Okin
