During your Philadelphia vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
American Swedish Historical Museum
Modeled after a 17th-century Swedish manor house, this small museum chronicles 350 years of the life and accomplishments of Swedish Americans. Traditional Swedish holidays are celebrated year-round, including Valborgsmassoafton (Spring Festival) in April, Midsommarfest in June, and the procession of St. Lucia and her attendants in December.
Benjamin Franklin Bridge
Great cities have signature bridges, and this is Philadelphia's. The Benjamin Franklin Bridge, designed by Paul Cret (one of the architects of the Parkway across town) was the largest single-span suspension bridge in the world (1 3/4 miles) when it was finished in 1926. The bridge carries cars and commuter trains and also has a foot/bicycle path along its south side, more reachable than ever since Independence Mall has been expanded to the edge of the bridge. For the bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution, a Philadelphia team including Steven Izenour, a leading American architect and planner, created a computer-driven system for illuminating each and every cable. At night, Philadelphians are treated to the largest lighting effects show since Ben Franklin's kite.
National Constitution Center
Opening July 4, 2003, on Philadelphia's redesigned Independence Mall, the stunning, modern National Constitution Center is the first museum in the world devoted to the United States Constitution -- its history and its relevance in the daily lives of Americans. The 160,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility, designed by Pei, Cobb Freed and Partners, in angular glass, steel, and limestone, has departments of history, education, and outreach, all using a blend of the most exciting and attention-grabbing technological tools to offer something for everyone, from scholars to casual visitors. While same-day tickets are usually available, it's a good idea to buy tickets in advance, and arrive 20 minutes early for the timed theater shows that welcome visitors twice each hour.As you stroll north from Independence Visitor Center, you'll cross Arch Street and a broad walk to the gleaming white stone entrance to the Constitution Center, emblazoned with those three magic words, "We the People . . ." A 12-minute multimedia show with an inspiring live actor and 360-degree movie screen explain the Constitution's early history. From there, visitors learn how the Constitution affects the functioning of government -- you can take your own Presidential Oath of Office, explore a national family tree, try on a Supreme Court robe, and check out the Bill of Rights. Signers Hall has bronze life-size figures of the 39 men who signed the Constitution, and the three who dissented. Especially good are exhibits featuring a voting machine from Palm Beach, Florida, from the contested 2000 election, and one featuring tools used by G. Gordon Liddy at the Watergate burglary. There will be plenty of daily events, talks, and programs, as well as a 225-seat, glass-enclosed restaurant and store.Note: Watch for special events at the National Constitution Center on and around Ben Franklin's 300th birthday, Jan 17, 2006, still in the works as we go to print. See www.benfranklin300.org for details.
Doubletree Hotel Philadelphia
The Avenue of the Arts location of this hotel is good for culture-seekers and families. The garage entrances ingeniously keep traffic flows separate for three floors of meeting facilities. The decor features rich paisleys and Degas-style murals alluding to the orchestral and ballet life at the Academy of Music across the street. Thanks to the saw-toothed design of the building, each of the guest rooms, which have been upgraded with new TVs and mattresses, has two views of town. Obviously, the higher floors afford the better views. The views of the Delaware River (eastern corner) or City Hall (northeastern corner) are the most popular. The bathrooms are clean and bland, and the Doubletree signature is a box of great chocolate chip cookies delivered to your room upon arrival.
Rittenhouse Hotel
Among Philadelphia's luxury hotels, the Rittenhouse has the fewest and largest rooms and the most satisfying views. Built in 1989, it's a jagged concrete-and-glass high-rise off the western edge of Philadelphia's most distinguished public square. The lobby is tranquil and lovely, with inlaid marble floors and a series of frosted-glass chandeliers and sconces. Along with the Four Seasons and the Ritz-Carlton, it's the only AAA Five-Diamond Award holder in the state -- which may be why Bruce Willis, Mel Gibson, and Kevin Bacon have all made this their home for months at a time while filming movies in Philly.Every room at the Rittenhouse is actually a suite with a full living room area, bay windows, reinforced walls between rooms, and solid-wood doors. All have great views: The park is leafy and beautiful most of the year, and the western view of the Schuylkill River and the Parkway is dramatic. City scenes by local artists decorate the walls.Jean-Marie Lacroix, a superb chef formerly at the Four Seasons, helms Lacroix at the Rittenhouse, a chic restaurant overlooking the park, offering modern French cuisine. Smith & Wollensky, the New York steakhouse, has an outpost with a convivial bar off the main lobby, and the more casual Boathouse Row Bar & Grill has a late-night menu. The site was the original town house of painter Mary Cassatt's brother, and there is a charming trellised private garden adorned with three drypoints by Cassatt.Facilities: 3 restaurants; bar; lounge; 5-lane indoor pool; Adolf Biecker fitness club with sun deck, Cybex weight machines, and aerobic equipment; spa; sauna; steam room; concierge; executive business center; 24-hr. room service; massage; laundry service; dry cleaning.
Holiday Inn Independence Mall
This eight-floor Holiday Inn, set back from the street, is the closest you can sleep to the Liberty Bell -- just turn the corner and you're at the pavilion that houses it. A renovation of the bedrooms and public spaces 5 years ago, and the addition of dataports, voice mail, and a concierge have given it a "commendable" rating within the Holiday Inn organization. Rooms are standard size and decor.
