Philadelphia is the largest city in Pennsylvania and the sixth largest city in the US. This vibrant city offers plenty to do, so there’s a little something for everyone. Of course, one of the first stops for many people is a visit to the Liberty Bell, the famous symbol of American independence. Foodies will want to test the Philly cheese steaks at rival restaurants Geno’s Steaks and Pat’s King of Steaks. There are plenty of museums to explore as well, including the Rodin Museum and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. And since you’ll be busy exploring all that Philly has to offer, you might want to save a bit of cash on your trip by eating in. We’ve created a list of our favorite hotels with kitchens in them, so read on to check out the options.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and access to an in-house kitchen or kitchenette. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 07, 2024.
