Society Hill Hotel

Very cute hotel in a great location. The rooms were cute. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. We had a few issues with the door code system that were quickly resolved. Lovely bathroom and shower, but the water had some trouble maintaining consistent temperature. The restaurant downstairs was very nice. Walking distance to many attractions and a safe area.

We had a great stay at Society Hill Hotel! Fantastic location and beautifully-appointed and modern rooms and bathrooms. Their first floor restaurant is bustling - they provided complimentary drinks and the food was delish. We want to try their brick oven pizza! We highly recommend Society Hill for your next stay in Philadelphia!

Beautifully designed hotel. Loved that they had a record player and good records! Bath products were amazing as well. A lot of amenities for a pretty average price. The restaurant downstairs was delightful, staff was so nice and helpful. Only thing is they don’t have an elevator, so be mindful if you’re disabled/not able to use stairs.

Located right across from The Revolutionary Museum. The society Hill Hotel was in a perfect location of Old City. Staff- incredibly friendly, and on top of any questions or assistance we needed. Location - in walking distance of some of the most amazing restaurants and cafes and historical buildings. We had a small wait for our room after the 3:00pm check in, however the staff was incredibly attentive and brought us drinks and food on the house while we waited. Rooms- Freaking beautiful! We reserved the "King Room" on the fourth floor. Water fall shower head, heated toilet, beautiful view of the street life. Not too loud at night, comfortable temperature control. If I had to pick any con I would say the walk up the five flights of stairs to our room had us pretty exhausted at the end of the day. However that's on me for not reserving the lower floor room sooner! Other than that, I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who enjoys the night life of Old City and is looking for a romantic getaway! Can't wait to visit this beautiful hotel again!

This place was perfect! We wanted to spend the night in philly before the eagles parade and this checked all boxes. It was hip, clean and affordable. Loved the decor and the heated floor in the bathroom. I wish the restaurant had been open but we’ll stay again. Just FYI there is no elevator, no issue for us -at all- but keep in mind when booking.

Clean and beautiful room; hello heated floor and fancy toilet! Excellent cocktails and service in the bar downstairs. We felt so welcomed. Will definitely stay here again, thank you Society Hill Hotel and go Birds!

I came to stay because I had been run out of the house due to a maintenance issue and I wanted a low key place that wasn’t one of the large hotel chains. After a brief issue with the door code, I was in my corner room with four windows looking out onto the national park. The room has everything you need and nothing you don’t. Radiant floor heating in the bathroom was perfect for this chilly February weekend and it made the room so welcoming. Bathrobes were a nice touch. The huge smart television provided a chance to unwind and the bed and linen were very comfortable. Even the pillows were great and I’m picky with pillows. Would absolutely stay again. If I had to pick a negative it would be the thin walls but they do include a white noise machine for your use which was a nice touch. Great part of town, historic refurb of a building that is more valuable for its age, and swift help via text if you need anything.

This little hotel had fallen on hard times, but now it has been lovingly renovated. The rooms are small but well-appointed: modern tiled bathroom with rain shower head and botanical soaps, terrycloth robes and slippers, a fridge, and a stereo with a selection of vinyl records. The bar and restaurant downstairs is friendly and has a pizza oven. Location right in the heart of Old City. A very enjoyable stay.

Hubby booked here for a little birthday overnight celebration. We stayed in the SHH before the reno and fire when it was a dump. The new owners really paid attention to detail. The hotel was quiet, quaint and decorated so well. Super comfy beds. Keyless entry to hotel and room. No dealing with checking in or checking out - all done via text message. Had the pleasure of having drinks last night at the bar - very good and very busy! We had brunch at the restaurant this morning. It was fantastic!

4.5 stars Great views, nice staff, laid back vibe. We ate the Neapolitan pizzas. The clam pizza was very good with a slight taste of clams and a pronounced Smokey bacon and fontina flavors. It had a cream sauce that complimented it well with a sweet element. The Prosciutto and fig was sweet and salty with fresh Arugula and Balsamic glaze to add pepper and sweet. The spicy had Calabrese, pepperoni, and long hots. It was spicy and smoky but with a hint of sweet from the sauce. The cheese has 4 cheeses but you can't tell, not in a bad way, but they blend well together and it was just enough not too much cheese. One thing I look for is was it well seasoned. Every pizza was well seasoned and crispy. The toppings were well balanced, and had a lot of flavor on all the pizzas. Over all great experience and I would highly recommend if you are in Philly.

Restaurant ONLY review- NOT the Hotel On a cool September night, three friends and I decided on dinner at this newer addition to the neighborhood. I had been following their solemn yet spirited journey on social media and was SO glad to finally see that a vision had become a reality! The entrance of this venue sits on the corner of 2nd and Chestnut and invites you into a cozy time capsule that strikes a beautiful balance of modern elevated with historic warm, all against the backdrop of iconic quintessential Old City. The exposed brick, soft lighting and vintage decor make the ambiance perfect for an intimate date or a laid back hangout with good friends (in my case haha). The attention to service was great; not only did we have a knowledgeable waitress but when it got busy, the chef herself - a sweetheart at that- came to help out and introduced us to her favorite items. We were immediately sold on her crafted sourdough pizza! While we ordered a variety of food, it unfortunately did not wow us as much the ambiance and service did; still a solid 6 to 7/10. The consensus amongst my friend group was that the oysters, the drinks (especially the espresso martini and bees knees) and yes the pizza (we got the clam) were top notch delicious. The sourdough pizza in the brick oven was dare I say a chefs kiss! With that said the main entree tab probably should have more items than just sandwiches and the salads could be more cohesive in their wholeness. All in all a beautifully crafted venue that offers a sleek colonial charm with yummy drinks and pizza! I can't wait to be back for their happy hour. I would def recommend this place for any one passing through, neighbor or tourist alike!

I stopped by the Restaurant & Bar for Happy Hour, due to the sign outside offering drink specials and $5 bites. It's a really cute little space, with a nice bar. I started off with the cucumber gimlet, a well mixed and pretty cocktail. Next up was the calamari. It was a big plate of tasty calamari, but the fried crust was a bit loose and fell off of some pieces and that was annoying. Still a great deal at $5. There was also a pizza special. It was a classic cheese pizza, but it showed off how good that coal oven can cook a crust. The crust was outstanding, making this as good of a cheese pizza as you will find anywhere. I would definitely go back for that pizza deal again! I do hope they keep it as a mainstay of the happy hour menu.

A friend and I stopped in for brunch while in Old City. Unfortunately, they were understaffed that day, so they weren't offering their brunch menu but instead were offering light fares. We opted to eat elsewhere, but we stayed for a drink and marinated olives. For $6, the olives were a heaping portion, served in two bowls, and were quite tasty. The vibe inside was swanky too, and I loved the wallpaper on the ceiling. I'd definitely love to stop back for a full meal sometime.

The hotel room was super cute! The front desk staff were easy to contact by text, even when we weren't physically at the hotel. Checkout was also a breeze for the same reason. The room had many cute personal touches and staff were very accommodating. The location was also close to a variety of restaurants and easy to get to the metro to explore other parts of the city.

Are you intrigued by places with history? Do you like your drinks in vintage glassware? Check out Society Hill Hotel's cozy corner bistro. The staff was very welcoming and food was quick to arrive. Fig & prosciutto pizza was a little salty, almost bacon like. Figs were fresh. The margarita pie tasted of fresh tomatoes and basil. Beyond the pizza and breakfast items, the menu could be more approachable though. I could see this being popular with hotel guests, but hotel stay is not required.

Got severe food poisoning after eating the anchovy sourdough pizza. Had to see the doctor multiple times over it and took a full week to recover. Will not be going back to say the least.

Ended up here one recent summer evening by total chance. They must be in a soft launch phase because there's no liquor license as of my visit. But they graciously offered free beer and hard ciders with food orders. The pizza dough is made with a sourdough starter and had a lovely char. Burrata and local greens salad was amazing! They did a really nice job updating the space while keeping the vibes intact from previous incarnations. It brought back some happy memories from the mid-aughts hanging at basically the same exact bar stool! Service was sweet and endearing at the bar. The banquettes looked very comfy. They also serve brunch and make bagels onsite for breakfast?! A solid place to grab a drink, a bite to eat, or a full meal that isn't super trendy or douchey in the Old City area. Just right imo.

The menu at the Society Hill hotel leaves much to be desired. We say there for 20 minutes trying to find something suitable to order. We had the Burrata salad that literally had no dressing on it. When it arrived at the table, it looked so unappealing. It tasted just like it looked. The pizza tasted sour, and that was NOT due to the sourdough crust. The cheese on the pizza tasted spoiled. We left most of it after a few bites. Overall, a pretty dismal experience food-wise. Our server was lovely and the only bright spot of our visit.

Absolutely breathtaking space in a beautifully re-visioned older building with modern Art Deco takes and the most beautiful pizza oven. The Bianca pizza is hands down the best pizza I've had in quite a long time. Would love to come back!

On a very cold evening, we had a lovely happy hour celebrating a family birthday. What more can you ask for? Oysters, attentive wait service and hot, delicious pizza. The crab fries are a great dish. It was a relaxing environment where you can hear each other talk!

We stopped here after the marathon yesterday to celebrate before heading back to NYC and we really loved it. The espresso martini is PERFECT (some of us had the tequila version as it is on the menu, but I substituted in vodka - both were very good!). We got the Margherita and Bianco pizzas, pancakes, and roast pork sandwich - all were delicious. The service was great (we had the friendliest waitress) and the ambiance was lovely for a sunny Sunday afternoon! I will absolutely return next time we are in Philadelphia.

Dining at Society Hill Hotel is like stepping into a parallel universe where incompetence is celebrated and human misery is the main course. The food is revolting, and the service was equally as terrible. This place truly hit the trifecta of awful experiences, with a resounding 0/100 for the food, drinks, and service. Attaching photographs of what the chef called "blueberry pancakes", but was more representative of vulcanized rubber than anything I've ever had for breakfast. Please, feel reach out to me if you ever have the inkling to visit this establishment, I would love to try to talk you off the ledge.

Wonderful food, lobster Mac and cheese is to die for. Service provided by Logan was outstanding , wonderfully attentive and knowledgeable about the menu! Thank you for making our lunch so amazing and I hope you get recognized for your service.

Just opened this past week and just got their liquor license June 21st - the longest day. I ate & drank wine on Wed and Fri this past week. Renee' is the chef, and sour dough pizza is excellent, but the burrata salad was not so good (Renee' was not working this Fri). Oysters were good, but simply too costly. Yes they are working out the kinks, but I wine costs are too high. Don't we all love Philly's 10% liquor tax that "supposedly" goes directly to the disgraceful school system. Wine should never be priced more than 2x bottle cost, but that is another story. Rose was good, but $15 a glass. Should be no more than $10. I will give this place some time, and try again. The place is attractive, but they must improve pricing overall. I am confident Renee' will put out interesting and well prepared food. They help was friendly, but still learning.

The recent tasteful renovations have brought new life to this corner (3rd & Chestnut) of Philadelphia. Creative renovations of the exterior and interior kept the 19th Century feeling: including the wallpapered ceiling and antique fixtures. Their happy hour can't be beat! Enjoy the oysters and the sauces, the pizzas. The wait staff is friendly and efficient. I get there about 3 times a month and have never been disappointed.

Amazing staff and the food was the absolute best. We had the spicy pizza and it was the best we've ever had! Burrata salad was unforgettable and the arancini were so unique and delicious. Apparently they just opened a couple of weeks ago and I sure hope this is the beginning of a very very long run! DO NOT visit Philly without treating yourself to a meal here.

Great location. Lovely hotel. Yummy breakfast. Can't wait to go back for dinner and try the pizza from that incredible pizza over!! To the guy who gave it a one star review, they've been open a week or two. Give them a chance. Common to use a code to check in but I do think they need an after-hours number that you can call and speak to a person if you need help.

First trip back and it did not disappoint. Three of us ordered crab cake sandwich, bagels and lox platter, and fig and prosciutto pizza. All excellent as was the service. Welcome back to the neighborhood.

We tried this newly redone bar/restaurant with hotel upstairs. We sat T the bar for happy hour (great specials). We split pizza and salad. Everything was delicious! I was hoping for leftovers, but it was so good we ate it all.

Best pizza in the city hands down! Service from Gio was superb. Oyster selection was amazing, atmosphere unbeatable. This is a new hidden gem Philadelphia needed. 9.9/10, and no one gets a 10.

I had to download yelp to write this review. The food is exceptionally bad. First, there was a limited menu due to issue with the gas stove. Not a problem. We were given a limited menu but when we started ordering, half the menu was not available. So I got the most expensive item on the menu u which was a lobster roll aka cat food. I spent $24 on cat food.... Patté for my cat at home. The Cesar dressing for the side salad was disgusting. The drinks were good though! The service was also very good. I wished I ate at McDonalds instead of the place. With it being in old city, there are sooooo many better options. Definitely a skip. What I find sad is this place sat vacant for years and I think it should go back to being that way.

Food incredible, service amazing, exactly what old city needed. Can't wait to be a regular.

My two best friend's and I stayed here in the Livingston Room and it was absolutely perfect! It was clean, in a nice part of Olde City with historical treasures right around the corner, and a great price. We will be planning another trip soon and will definitely be staying here again.

This place sucks - we booked a room here, flew out from LA and when we got here at 11pm there was no person working there and no phone number - they forgot to send us a digital code to get in so we were stuck on the street of Philadelphia at 2 am searching for another hotel - good luck staying here

My mom, sister and I stopped in for lunch today after an excruciatingly long doctor's appointment at Wills Eye down the street. It is beautifully done on the inside, and we enjoyed noticing the elegant details- in particular how the coffee bags and cups matched the floral design on the ceiling. Nice touch! But also the simple flowers adorning the tables and the classy gold cutlery. My sis and I enjoyed pizzas- they were amazing, and my mom thought her crab cake sandwich was delicious. We also were well taken care of by the delightful bartender, and enjoyed a chat with one of the owners. Can't wait to go back for a stay in the city!
