Fodor's Expert Review The Inn at Penn, a Hilton Hotel

3600 Sansom St., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 19104, USA

Near the University of Pennsylvania, this hotel is a welcome sight for anyone needing to stay in the thick of the action. With a grand lobby staircase and a beautiful wood-paneled living room complete with a working fireplace (and cocktails), it offers a warm, collegiate atmosphere. Up-to-date room amenities abound, such as complimentary Wi-Fi service and an iPad. Be sure to stop in for breakfast, buffet or à la carte, at the University Club. Louie Louie, the Instagram-worthy French-American bistro situated on the south side of the Inn, is a gorgeous space, attracting a youthful cocktail crowd. Rates rise at certain times, including graduations.
