Le Meridien Philadelphia

Originally a YMCA, the converted 10-story Georgian Revival building now serves as a boutique-y 202-room hotel next to the business district and convention center. Natural light flows into the 75-foot central atrium through a skylight, serving to highlight the design-forward furniture and appliances that distinguish this minimalist and modern hotel from others. It's a true treat for your senses to experience the architectural elegance, the well-appointed rooms, the first-rate service, and key amenities. The place also does not disappoint with its food. You can amuse your taste buds with steak frites and French bistro fare at the sleek bar and restaurant.
