During your Philadelphia vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
St. Peter's Episcopal
St. Peter's (1761) was originally established through the bishop of London, and has remained continuously open since. Like all pre-Revolutionary Episcopal churches, St. Peter's started out as an Anglican shrine. But what was wrong with Christ Church at 2nd and Market? In a word: mud. As a local historian put it, "the long tramp from Society Hill was more and more distasteful to fine gentlemen and beautiful belles."Robert Smith, the builder of Carpenters' Hall, continued his penchant for red brick, pediments on ends of buildings, and keystoned arches for gallery windows. The white box pews are evidence that not much has changed. Unlike most churches, the wineglass pulpit in St. Peter's is set into the west end and the chancel is at the east, so the minister had to do some walking during the service. George Washington and Mayor Samuel Powel sat in pew 41. The 1764 organ case blocks the east Palladian window. The steeple outside, constructed in 1842, was designed by William Strickland to house bells, which are still played.Seven Native American chiefs lie in the graveyard, victims of the 1793 smallpox epidemic. Painter C. W. Peale, Stephen Decatur of naval fame, Nicholas Biddle of the Second Bank of the United States, and other notables are also interred here.
Barnes Foundation
The magnificent Barnes Foundation, just outside the city limits in suburban Merion, will enchant you. Albert Barnes crammed his French provincial mansion, built around 1925, with more than 1,000 masterpieces -- 180 Renoirs, 69 Cézannes, innumerable Impressionists and post-Impressionists, and a generous sampling of European art from the Italian primitives onward. Each wall is filled with masterpieces, hung, literally, from floor to ceiling. The Barnes reopened in November 1995 after a world tour of more than 80 masterworks from the collection and a $12-million renovation of the galleries.Barnes believed that art has a quality that can be explained objectively -- for example, one curve will be beautiful and hence art, and another that's slightly different will not be art. That's why the galleries display antique door latches, keyholes, keys, and household tools with strong geometric lines right next to the paintings. Connections beg to be drawn between neighboring objects -- an unusual van Gogh nude, an Amish chest, New Mexico rural icons. Virtually every first-rank European artist is included: Degas, Seurat, Bosch, Tintoretto, Lorrain, Chardin, Daumier, Delacroix, Corot, and more. Not a bad use of a fortune made from patent medicine!The bad news is that the Barnes organization is rife with lawsuits, and due to complaints of "not in my backyard" neighbors who object to crowds, visiting hours are extremely limited and require reservations far in advance. Summer hours in July and August are Wednesday through Friday; in other months, the museum is open Friday through Sunday. In fall 2002, the Trustees filed court papers to move the museum to a new downtown home on Benjamin Franklin Parkway, against the wishes of Dr. Barnes; this has brought a raft of new controversy, though many Philadelphians would love to see the collection in a more accessible venue near other top museums. The historic building could then remain as an educational facility. Stay tuned, and call well ahead of your anticipated visit for reservations.
Physick House
Like the Powel house, the Physick (formerly Hill-Physick-Keith) House combines attractive design and historical interest. The house is the area's most impressive -- freestanding but not boxy, gracious but solid. Built during the 1780s boom, with money from importing Madeira wine, it soon wound up housing the father of American surgery, Philip Syng Physick (a very propitious name for a physician). The usual pattern of neglect and renovation applies here, on an even grander scale.All the fabric and wallpaper was fashioned expressly for use here, and the mansion as restored is an excellent illustration of the Federal style from about 1815. The drawing room opens onto a lovely 19th-century walled garden, and contains a Roman stool and 18th-century Italian art, collectibles that illustrate the excitement caused by the discovery of the buried city of Pompeii at that time. Look for an inkstand blessed by Ben Franklin's fingerprints. Dr. Physick treated Chief Justice Marshall, and Marshall's portrait and gift of a wine stand testify to the doctor's powers.
Four Seasons Hotel
It was rated the best hotel in Philly in the 2003 Zagat Guide, has earned five diamonds from AAA, and been named one of the top 20 U.S. hotels in Condé Nast Traveler: the Four Seasons' luxury is refined and understated. Built in 1983, the Four Seasons is an eight-story curlicue on Logan Square, with views of the exquisite Swann Fountain and a lush interior courtyard, and has just been completely renovated throughout with beautiful new fabrics and furnishings. The pale-toned lobby has enormous masses of flowers, intimate seating areas, and honey-colored woods. The peach-hued lounge and promenade serve as foyers to the dining and meeting facilities and are paneled in a rare white mahogany. Guest rooms have a rich American elegance: The overstuffed chairs and rich carpets are in tones of pale yellow and sage, and in-room business and tech capabilities are tops. The bathrooms have a wonderful marble dressing area, and excellent lighting. All the rooms have windows or private verandas boasting marvelous views of Logan Circle or the interior courtyard. If you can get a room with a view down the Parkway to the Art Museum and across to the Free Library, you will be dazzled both by day and at night.The Four Seasons restaurants regularly collect raves from local reviewers. The Fountain Restaurant, under executive chef Martin Hamann, is a classic, a favorite among Philly residents for unstuffy service and a fabulous Sunday brunch. Natural light streams over 150 wide armchair seats and tapestries, fresh flowers, and walnut paneling. Another great option is dining in the hotel's cafe room, which offers slightly more casual fare from Hamann's kitchen at about half the price of a Fountain dinner. The Swann Lounge has marble-top tables and a colorful, civilized look like something out of a Maurice Prendergast sketch. It's open for an extensive lunch, afternoon tea, and cocktails.Facilities: 2 restaurants; cafe; indoor heated pool; health club with Universal machines, Exercycles, and exercise mats; spa; Jacuzzi; concierge; town-car service within Center City; salon; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning.
Penn Tower Hotel
Penn Tower is a very convenient, if less than stellar, version of a former Hilton, built with a direct skywalk to University Hospital and within steps of the University of Pennsylvania, 30th Street Station, the Civic Center, and Drexel University. The hotel part of the tower comprises floors 17 and 18, and there is an enclosed garage. U. Penn takes over more floors every year for medical offices. You'll have to get used to spirited displays of red and blue, Penn's colors, and a long lobby corridor of rough-textured concrete that leads to the reception desk. A coffee cart serves pastries and sandwiches in the lobby starting at 6am. The rooms and bathrooms were renovated in 2004, and are efficient and clean.
Rodeway Inn
This member of the Rodeway franchise chain is comprised of seven floors of comfortable, bigger-than-average rooms renovated 2 years ago, with solid-core doors, four-poster beds, and private bathrooms. Six rooms boast Jacuzzis, and all rooms have dial-up or wireless Internet access. The front desk is attended 24 hours a day. All suites have gas fireplaces. A state-of-the-art gym is available around the corner for $12.
