During your Philadelphia vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Powel House
If Elfreth's Alley leaves you hungry for a taste of more well-to-do Colonial Philadelphia, head for the Powel House. Mayor Samuel Powel and his wife, Elizabeth, hosted every founding father and foreign dignitary around. (John Adams called these feasts "sinful dinners," which shows how far Powel had come from his Quaker background.) He spent most of his 20s gallivanting around Europe, collecting wares for this 1765 mansion.It's hard to believe that this most Georgian of houses was slated for demolition in 1930, because it had become a decrepit slum dwelling. Period rooms were removed to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. But the Philadelphia Society for the Preservation of Landmarks saved it, and has gradually refurnished the entire mansion as it was. The yellow satin Reception Room, off the entrance hall, has some gorgeous details, such as a wide-grain mahogany secretary. Upstairs, the magnificent ballroom features red damask drapes whose design is copied from a bolt of cloth found untouched in a Colonial attic. There is also a 1790 Irish crystal chandelier and a letter from Benjamin Franklin's daughter referring to the lively dances held here. An 18th-century garden lies below.
Free Library of Philadelphia
Splendidly situated on the north side of Logan Circle, the Free Library of Philadelphia rivals the public libraries of Boston and New York for magnificence and diversity. The library and its twin, the Municipal Court, are copies of buildings in the Place de la Concorde in Paris (the library's on the left).The main lobby and the gallery always have some of the institution's riches on display, from medieval manuscripts to exhibits of modern bookbinding. Greeting cards and stationery are sold for reasonable prices, too. The second floor houses the best local history, travel, and resource collection in the city. The local 130,000-item map collection is fascinating. The third-floor rare book room hosts visitors Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm, with tours by appointment. If you're interested in manuscripts, children's literature, early printed books, and early American hornbooks, or you just want to see a stuffed raven, this is the place.If you're hungry, the Skyline Cafe (Mon-Fri 9am-4pm) is a very nice location for a snack and one of the only dining options on the Parkway. There's also an active concert and film series.
Adventure Aquarium
Formerly the New Jersey State Aquarium, this venue, opened in 1992 as a first step in reclaiming the once-vital (and now denuded) Camden waterfront, is being totally renovated and revitalized in 2005.Up to 4,000 aquatic animals live here, and more exotic species are coming. The main attraction is a 760,000-gallon tank, the second largest (next to Epcot Center's) in the country, with stepped seat/benches arranged in a Greek amphitheater on the first floor. Also on the first floor is a Caribbean outpost with 1,000 tropical fish and beach birds. The second floor features interactive exhibits and strange ocean dwellers. New exhibits will include crocodiles in a West African river setting, sharks swimming alongside a 40-foot glass tunnel, and even the opportunity to swim alongside sharks.
Westin Philadelphia
The Westin opened with great fanfare as a gorgeous, paneled Ritz-Carlton in 1990. Although it's been fumbled with a bit by its owners, Starwood Hotels, this wonderful place seems to have emerged intact, with a blend of luxury amenities and service. And the location is convenient for business or leisure visits -- it is part of the Liberty Place shopping complex and a block from Walnut Street. While it's a bit higher priced than other Westins, it's a value compared to its luxury peers.A small porte-cochere and a ground-floor entrance on 17th Street lead to elevators that lift you up to the main lobby, which is a series of a living-room-like sitting rooms, plus a clubby bar and grill. The guest rooms feature bedside walnut tables, desks, firm beds with spindle-top headboards (and a luxurious four pillows), and Wedgwood or Sandwich glass lamps. Large walnut armoires house TVs, clothing drawers, and minibars. All rooms are provided with two phone lines and dataports. The modern bathrooms, improved by Westin, are outfitted with black-and-white marble, silver plate fixtures, magnifying mirrors, and lots of toiletries. The hotel runs frequent packages in tandem with museum exhibitions or other events.Facilities: Restaurant; lounge; small exercise facility; sauna; 24-hr. concierge; $8 transport to and from airport; fully equipped business center and meeting rooms; internal connection to the 70 Shops at Liberty Place; 24-hr. room service; laundry service; dry cleaning.
The Latham
A landmark apartment house from 1915 to 1970, the Latham's charm, congeniality, and small attentions bring to mind a small, superbly run Swiss hostelry in a great setting off Walnut Street. On weekday mornings, the lobby -- a high-ceilinged salon with terrazzo highlights -- is filled with refreshed executives, though the hotel does no convention business. Weekend packages are great bargains. The reception staff is quick and professional. The guest rooms, redone in Victorian motif in 1998, are not huge or lavish but perfectly proportioned and decorated with cheerful striped silk. Full-wall and lighted facial mirrors, large marblelike basins, and over-size towels highlight the white-toned bathroom interiors.
Courtyard by Marriott
The Marriott chain opened the biggest hotel in Pennsylvania in January 1995, linked by an elevated covered walkway to the Reading Terminal Shed of the Convention Center. And it's gotten bigger. In late 1999 Marriott converted the historic 1926 City Hall Annex across 13th Street at Filbert into a 500-room Courtyard by Marriott, the largest in the Courtyard division. So all together, you have your choice of 1,910 rooms, two fitness centers, and 10 restaurants and lounges -- all linked with one another and with the Convention Center.The hotel's major auto entrance is on Filbert Street (two-way between Market and Arch sts.), with an equally grand pedestrian entrance adjoining Champions Sports Bar and retail on Market Street. The lobby is sliced up into a five-story atrium, enlivened by a 10,000-square-foot water sculpture, a lobby bar, and a Starbucks. Setbacks and terraces provide plenty of natural light and views from the rooms on floors 6 to 23. Rooms are tastefully outfitted with dark woods, maroon and green drapes and bedspreads, a TV armoire, a desk, a club chair and ottoman, and a round table, but, overall, rooms are slightly less elegant than those of the top hotels. Comfortably sized bathrooms have heavy chrome fixtures and tuck sinks and counters in the corners for more dressing room space. Closets are spacious; there are large desks with dataports in the Courtyard's rooms. Service is impeccable, thanks to the well-trained, knowledgeable staff.
