Walk to Shopping!

The hotel was great....clean, comfortable, friendly staff, excellent restaurant/bar. Walking distance to shopping and local historic attractions. No reason to pay twice as much other nearby hotels.

Good hotel

This hotel is in a great location for shopping, sitting in the park, etc. Few miles of a walk to historical sites, but worth the walk through the neghborhoods. Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice size rooms. Restaurant could have a better selection. Have breakfast at Pete's across the street or other restaurant's in the area. Parking is expensive so park across the street and up the block from Pete's which is cheaper.

Great location and staff

This is a very nice hotel with recently updated rooms and the service from the staff was excellent. The only negative... is the restaurant Tavern 17. We had a lousy breakfast and poor service. The dining options in Phila are vast incl. the small restaurant Lil Pete's across the street which is perfect for breakfast. Stay here, but dine elsewhere.

Great seafood restaurant Devon just around the corner. Shopping is always fun in Phila and you are in the heart of some great stores. Rittenhouse Square is a safe and enjoyable location with a great park to enjoy with a cup of coffee or your favorite libation.

Great Location

The Radisson Warwick is in a great location in Rittenhouse Square. It is in walking distance to shopping, restaurants and Rittenhouse Park. The first room reeked of cigarettes, we were immediately accommodated with a much nicer and cleaner smeling room 2 floors up. The restaurants right in the hotel are great. They were also accommodating in regards to valet parking. Although check out is at 11am, they let us remain in the parking lot till late afternoon, free of charge. We would definitely go back to the Radisson.

Fabulous Find!

The Radisson Plaza-Warwick Hotel will bowl you over with impecable service, and the downtown location is perfect. This was my first stay at this hotel, and it will certainly not be my last. The staff was professional yet friendly, and the room was huge and immaculate, with stunning city views. (I stayed on the 11th floor with a view of Liberty Place.) The king size bed had an adjustable firmness, and great pillows. There was wonderful night life and restaurants right outside the hotel. I can't wait to go back, and would reccomend this hotel without any hesitation.

Great stay in a great city

We got a great deal for one night before we had to drive on to Baltimore. This hotel is right on Rittenhouse Square near tons of great shops and great places to eat. We wished we could have stayed longer to check out the other (!) Parisian-like cafes, shops (nice mix of chain and boutique), and the interesting architecture just within blocks of the hotel. We were close to everything!
