Kimpton Hotel Monaco Philadelphia | Philadelphia, USA | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Philadelphia, USA

5 stars

Nestled in the iconic Lafayette Building, an architectural landmark built in 1907, the Hotel Monaco Philadelphia offers luxurious accommodation close to all attractions. It’s also one of the few hotels in Philly to feature a rooftop lounge – located on the 11th floor, it’s a great place to relax with a few drinks, admiring the views as the sun sets on another day. The Red Owl Tavern is also a popular spot for guests and locals alike, serving hearty meals in a warm and friendly atmosphere. If you’re keen to keep trim, there’s a fitness centre on-site. Alternatively, bikes are available for complimentary rental on a first come first served basis – an excellent way to get around, make sure you bag yourself a two-wheeler at some point during your stay. Every evening, the hotel hosts a complimentary wine hour in the lobby lounge – not just a great way to meet and mingle with fellow guests, it’s also handy for picking up tips on sights to see off the beaten track and places to eat!

“Flagship Kimpton Property in Old Town Philadelphia”

Apr 15, 2026Keith H

The Kimpton Hotel Monaco Philadelphia is a quality example of what one can expect from a flagship IHG property. It’s conveniently located in Old Town Philadelphia right by Independence National Park. Signer’s Park is directly across the street, and the Liberty Bell is next door. It’s where you want to be! I came to Philadelphia for a milestone birthday celebration, and the Kimpton’s staff made it an incredible experience. Not only was my room decorated, but they were incredibly generous and made my holiday memorable. Roshid was our Concierge and he was incredibly helpful and personable, he made sure every part of our experience was special. I can’t say enough about the staff at this Kimpton. Everyone was friendly and helpful! The Red Owl Tavern is the on-site restaurant and it is a good place for breakfast, especially if you are a IHG Rewards member that receives complementary breakfast benefits. Their lunch and dinner options are also nice. There’s a positive energy in the place when people are talking and enjoying a meal. The building itself is a historic structure, and has very interesting architecture. However, the interior has been updated with styling that is fresh and hip, just what you would expect from a Kimpton property! The local wildlife also enjoys the building, we were excited to see a hawk uses the building as a perch as it surveys the area. Look out pigeons!

“An Exceptional and Thoughtfully Curated Birthday Experience”

Apr 15, 2026Dean W

We recently stayed at Kimpton Hotel Monaco Philadelphia to celebrate my husband’s milestone birthday, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. A sincere thank you to Roshid, our concierge, whose attention to detail and genuine care elevated our stay in every way. Roshid truly went above and beyond to make our celebration unforgettable. The birthday touches in our room, along with the thoughtful gifts, were beautifully executed; refined, personal, and perfectly suited to the occasion. The hotel’s location is ideal, situated directly across from Signer’s Park and Liberty Bell Center, making it incredibly convenient to explore many of the city’s most historic sites on foot. This close proximity also made the overall value exceptional, allowing us to fully experience the city without the need for additional transportation. We dined at Red Owl Tavern, which was absolutely delicious. The venue is clearly a local favorite, with a lively atmosphere and a vibrant crowd that brings great energy to the space. The menu highlights wonderful locally sourced ingredients, making for a memorable dining experience right on property. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm yet polished, and the hotel itself offers a distinctive blend of historic character and modern sophistication. Every detail contributed to a stay that felt both effortless and special. Our time at the Monaco was an absolute delight, and it has firmly established itself as our preferred home base for all future visits to Philadelphia. A truly memorable experience, highly recommended.

“Beautiful Hotel with great Staff”

Apr 13, 2026gemmaandhal

We stayed at the Kimpton Monaco in Philadelphia for 2 nights . We were there for a medical visit to Penn and the hotel staff could not have been nicer. Since my husband and I were traveling with our adult son, I asked the Hotel if there was any way we could upgrade to a suite for more space. I texted them before I arrived and without hesitation a girl named Rachel upgraded us to a suite. Upon arrival ,check in was seamless and we had already been put in the system for the upgraded suite. The front desk staff were very kind and accommodating. The room was very clean and the entire hotel had just finished a renovation. We had dinner at the restaurant in the hotel. The service was great and the food was excellent. The guys that were doing the valet parking out front were very efficient and accommodating. I cannot say enough good things about the staff at this hotel as well as the service. We will definitely be staying with them again for any future visits to Philadelphia. Q: Reason For Your Visit?
