"I come to Philadelphia for work a few times a year. This was my first time staying at the kimpton Palomar and now i will be choosing to stay there for all my future trips. My room was beautiful. Loved the decor and the spacious bathroom counter. The women at the front desk each day were so friendly and helpful. "
