"A hotel-store destination for art and design enthusiasts with a curated variety of gifts; don’t overlook the XL tote, oversized and made with undyed cotton, which can fit everything from a work laptop to groceries." - Esra Erol
"A boutique hotel and lifestyle shop in Passyunk amplifying local artists and underrepresented voices through curated offerings and events."
"Yowie Hotel opened its doors in 2023 and brings a sense of freshness to South Street with 13 individually decorated suites. The property offers amenities like Malin + Goetz toiletries, a hairdryer, a fabric steamer, and decent Wi-Fi. Each suite comes with a small-yet-functional kitchen. Rates start from $211 per night." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Founded by a Philadelphia native who trained at FIT and designed for brands like American Eagle and Ralph Lauren before returning home, this compact lifestyle boutique began as a pop‑up and became a 250‑square‑foot brick‑and‑mortar in 2016. It quickly earned a reputation as a hub for cutting‑edge local taste by spotlighting emerging talent and trends—everything from nonalcoholic aperitifs to amorphous ceramic vases—and serves as the curatorial heart that inspired and feeds the adjacent hotel project." - Regan Stephens Regan Stephens Regan Stephens is an award-winning freelance writer living in Philadelphia.

"Shannon Maldonado's tiny Queen Village shop has an outsized presence thanks to its impeccably-curated and colorful collection of gifts, art objects and housewares. Her design cred is dead serious, but—as evidenced by the selection, collaborations, and her own laid back demeanor—the brand doesn’t take itself too seriously. Maldonado sells an ever-evolving range range of products with common threads: beautiful designs in vivid hues: curvilinear candles and catchall trays from Barcelona’s Octaevo, avant-garde vases from New York design studio Chen & Kai, Cold Picnic bath mats, and Dusen Dusen textiles. In late 2022, Yowie will relocate to a bigger space on South Street along with a hotel and cafe." - Regan Stephens, Devra Ferst
