Pros (+) A lovely old home, now an attractive and conveniently located small hotel. Staff is attentive, rooms are clean and comfortable (two fireplaces in my room last night!) and breakfasts are lovely.

Overview
When it comes to history few cities in America can boast in the way that Philadelphia can. The City of Brotherly Love has many sights that are landmarks in the journey to American independence. This city has evolved greatly since the American Revolution, but the fighting spirit that was put on paper in 1776 still is in the DNA of the city today. Getting a true Philly experience starts with booking a room at the Morris House Hotel.
The Morris House Hotel is a national landmark that has been converted into a hotel. Like most things in this historic city, the outside of the building evokes colonial era elegance but inside are all the modern comforts that travelers of today reasonably expect to be present in a hotel. Guests will enjoy the elegantly decorated room that has 18th-century elements woven into the modern décor. Everything about the hotel has been maintained to give guests maximum comfort while preserving history.
Speaking of history, the hotel’s location puts you right in the heart of history. A short walk from the hotel is Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. Whether you are American or you’re an international tourist seeking to learn about America, these two landmarks are a window into American colonial history. Independence Hall is especially auspicious and walking to the site is a great way to put yourself back into colonial times.
The hotel offers an excellent dining option in the M Restaurant. The French-inspired cuisine is served on a garden patio. This is just one of the many examples of the Morris House Hotel bringing elegance to its guests.
