The Morris House Hotel
Combining the charm of a bed and breakfast with the service and attention to detail of top-tier hospitality, the boutique Morris House Hotel is tucked away in Washington Square West, one of the city’s most desirable and treasured neighborhoods.
Built in 1787, the hotel calls Philadelphia’s Historic District home and sits just blocks from some of America’s most important landmarks, such as Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell.
Whether they’re attending a business convention, experiencing the nation’s history, visiting friends and family, or just seeking a weekend in the city, guests will find themselves in the center of it all when staying at this charming hotel.
In 2022, the hotel was inducted into the Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
The Morris family purchased this Georgian-style manse from the Reynolds family, who originally built it in 1787, when their property line marked the edge of developed Philadelphia.
Today, a stay at the Morris House Hotel, now an intimate boutique hotel, is a great home base for exploring Philadelphia.
The property’s seventeen guest rooms — luxury rooms and suites, including a newly renovated wedding suite — are decorated with individual charm and remarkable attention to detail, including the original heart pine floors. Here, visitors will enjoy the best of both worlds: the comforts of a cozy bed-and-breakfast plus the amenities of a modern hotel.
Guests can look forward to both grab-and-go breakfast as well as afternoon tea and cookies. And the property’s expansive garden makes it a major destination for weddings and other events.
Outstanding restaurants, the theater district, and South Street shops and nightlife are all just a short walk away from the hotel’s Washington Square West neighborhood address.
The Visit Philly Overnight Package — booked more than 190,000 times since 2001 — comes with free hotel parking (worth up to $100 in Center City Philadelphia), overnight hotel accommodations and choose-your-own-adventure perks.
