Wonderful hotel, service, food.

I live very close to Philadelphia and I would never go to another hotel. The Four Seasons always has impeccable service and is extremely kid friendly. At check-in, kids are greeted with a "welcome wagon" from which they can pick a toy or game. At turndown, the maids place cookies and milk in the room.The rooms are extremely plush and the beds are heavenly. Our family of five loves the suites that have a king bedroom separated from a sitting room by double doors with a queen pull-out bed with city views (as oppossed to courtyard views). My parents enjoy the bar, though we have never ventured to try the restaurant as a family. The concierge is always super friendly and is great in reccomending dining and sight-seeing options. Even though its a little walk to the hubbub of center city, the walk is doable and taxis are always avaliable. The hotel is where celebrities like to stay during their time in Philly. I've even spotted some while I was staying here! It's tucked away from the hustle-bustle of the city, but it still has the feeling of the Philadelphia and close proximenty to great restaurants, shops, and nightlife. The service is always unbelievably great and the staff goes above and beyond for every guest. I woud not stay anywhere else in Philadelphia!

We loved this hotel. The service is wonderful. The location is great. Near the Franklin Institute, The Academy of Natural Sciences and the Phila Art Museum. The food in the restaurants is marvelous. One of my son's favorite places to stay

I had stayed at the FSP before and had a positive experience so I went back with my wife and three kids for a special occasion. We stayed in an executive suite, plenty of room for all with a door between the two sleeping areas. The room was dated but clean and well kept. Also, quiet which I really appreciate. Bathroom small but fine, great shower. Housekeeping was very helpful, friendly. The staff made a fuss over the kids, wanted to know names and ages and had special trinkets for them as well as bedtime snacks. Kids loved the pool. My wife had a great massage at the spa. Had dinner at the Fountain, great food and even better service, a special experience, but expensive, almost as much as the room for the night. Location of the hotel is great, walk to lots of activities. Summary:
pro: location, service, they seem to go out of their way for families
cons: expensive
