We've stayed at the Latham many times. Have tried other Philadelphia hotels, but always return here. Yes, its a bit worn and rooms are small, but the location is perfect and the rooms have an old world charm. Considering the reasonable cost, I see no reason to complain. There are so many great restaurants within easy walking distance that room... more

I stayed for one night in April. I was expecting the hotel to be a bit smarter than I found it, but chose it mainly for its location, which was indeed very central and convenient. It was a little outdated and musty, but no problems, and I would say perfectly fine if you just need a base to explore! more

I have stayed at the Latham Hotel twice. This hotel is a bit "tired" but has a lot of elegance. Apparently, it was a luxury apartment house in the golden age of Philadelphia. There's nice marble in the bathroom and the slightly unusual furniture is nice and old-fashioned. The front desk staff was professional -- gracious. Nice toiletries and a... more

My friend and I came to Philadelphia to see the Frida Kahlo exhibit. The Latham was one of the Philadelphia Art Museum participating hotels which gave us VIP tickets to the exhibit as part of our room cost. We loved the hotel. Our room was well appointed and gave us a cozy feeling. It was clean with comfortable beds and... more

We stayed here while in the city for an engagement party. The location is GREAT--you can walk anywhere in the city pretty much, very convenient. Also, the valet service was very convenient. The room itself was not bad, a little old but not dirty or anything--just in need of an update I think. I really had no problem with the... more

We had a wonderful stay at the Latham Hotel. Our room was clean, decent size and the shower had great water pressure. The best part about the Latham is the location. It is one block from Rittenhouse Square, which is a litlle wonderful park. There is shopping galore, great restaurants and Starbucks right outside the door. The staff was polite... more

If you are interested in a good night sleep, comfortable bed, even floors to walk on and a room without ants.... do not stay at this hotel! My family and I (party of 4) stayed at the Latham this past weekend and it was a horrible experience. My boyfriend and I had a previous experience at the Latham in 2002,... more

This used to be a great little hotel and it is in a wonderful part of town. BUT... the restaurant has been closed for months and the hotel has no alternative arrangements - so NO ROOM SERVICE! And worse, they did not tell us that when we reserved. Clearly they are cutting all corners - they even de-commissioned the ice... more

Location is wonderful. Staff is good. Hotel needs refurbishing...carpet is worn, room looks tired. That being said, considering the location, the good comfort and cleanliness, and don't forget the price, it's an excellent value. Recommended when on a budget. more
