Top hotels in Kensington
Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia
Clean, comfortable, great location with lots to do in the neighborhood. No frills small rooms but the coffee machine was a perk. It’s hard to find street parking so you may need to pay a garage discount rate of $39. We had a lovely time!

The room was very clean and everything worked as it should. The elevator about took my arm off as it closed very quickly after opening. Was a great location and felt safe. 12 min walk to convention center.
