Fodor's Expert Review The Windsor Suites

1700 Benjamin Franklin Pkwy., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 19103, USA

This 24-story all-suites hotel caters to corporate business travelers (some on extended stays) as well as vacationing families, and features both studio and one-bedroom spaces. The guest rooms are characterized by their muted neutral color scheme, plus bells and whistles like a kitchen area equipped with a Keurig coffeemaker. Downstairs are Con Murphy's, a large Irish-themed pub with multiple seating areas and a well-rounded menu, and Asia on the Parkway, serving Thai and Asian fusion fare. The hotel's location, within immediate walking distance of both the Parkway Museums District and Center City shopping and nightlife, might be the Windsor's biggest selling point.

PROS

  • good location near Parkway museums and Center City
  • some good views from rooms
  • responsive staff and service

CONS

  • rooftop pool closes seasonally
  • some rooms and areas need updating
  • may hear street noise
