During your Philadelphia vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

City Hall
When construction of City Hall began in 1871, it was planned to be the tallest structure in the world. But plans were scaled back, other buildings surpassed it, and the elaborate 1901 wedding cake by John McArthur, Jr., with an inner courtyard straight out of a French château, quickly became outdated. The charming building is still in use as the mayor's office and is home to offices from the Register of Wills to city courtrooms to City Council's quarters. Philadelphians love the crowning 37-foot statue of William Penn by A. M. Calder. For years the structure appeared rather rusty and grimy, but now, with repainting, new cast iron work, and cleaning, City Hall has reclaimed its pride.You may wish to wander inside the vast floors, which range from the breathtaking to the bureaucratically forlorn. Both inside and out, City Hall boasts rich sculptural decoration. The Mayor's Reception Room (no. 202) and the City Council Chamber (no. 400) are especially ornate.The highlight of City Hall is the tower view. The Juniper Street entrance is most convenient, but you can take any corner elevator to the seventh floor and follow the red tape (always indicative of city government). In this case, it leads to two escalators and a waiting area for the tower elevator. The elevator up to Penn statue's recently cleaned shoestrings, at 548 feet, can hold only eight people, and the outdoor cupola cannot hold many more. On the way, notice how thick the walls are -- City Hall is the tallest building ever constructed without a skeleton of steel girders, so that its white stone is 6 feet thick at the top and 22 feet thick at ground level. The view from the top encompasses not only the city but also the upper and lower Delaware Valley and port, western New Jersey, and suburban Philadelphia. It's windy up there, though. If you look straight down, you can see more of the hundreds of sculptures designed by Calder, the works of whose descendants -- Alexander Stirling Calder (1870-1945) and Alexander Calder (1898-1976) -- beautify Logan Circle and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. You could spend hours, although 45 minutes should do it for the highlights.

Carpenters' Hall
Carpenters' Hall (1773) was the guildhall for -- guess who? -- carpenters. At the time, the city could use plenty of carpenters, since 18th-century Philadelphia was the fastest-growing urban area in all the Colonies and perhaps in the British Empire outside of London. Robert Smith, a Scottish member of the Carpenters' Company, designed the building (like most carpenters, he did architecture and contracting as well). He also designed the steeple of Christ Church, with the same calm Georgian lines. The edifice is made of Flemish Bond brick in a checkerboard pattern, with stone windowsills, superb woodwork, and a cupola that resembles a saltshaker.You'll be surprised at how small Carpenters' Hall is given the great events that transpired here. In 1774, the normal governmental channels to convey Colonial complaints to the Crown were felt inadequate, and a popular Committee of Correspondence debated in Carpenters' Hall. The more radical delegates, led by Patrick Henry, had already expressed treasonous wishes for independence, but most wanted to exhaust possibilities of bettering their relationship with the Crown first.What's here now isn't much -- an exhibit of Colonial building methods; some portraits; and Windsor chairs that seated the First Continental Congress. If some details seem to be from a later period, you're right: The fanlights above the north and south doors date from the 1790s, and the gilding dates from 1857. Hours are short because the Carpenters' Company still maintains the hall.

Christ Church Burial Ground
This 1719 expansion of the original graveyard of Christ Church contains the graves of Benjamin Franklin and his wife, Deborah, along with those of four other signers of the Declaration of Independence and many Revolutionary War heroes. There are always pennies on Ben's grave; tossing them there is a local tradition that is supposed to bring good luck.

Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the Philadelphia area, including:

Hotel Sofitel
Sofitel is the premier French luxury chain, and this 5-year-old hotel set in a limestone-and-glass tower exudes hospitality and chic, with its modern-Deco vibe and popular bar off the marble lobby. The location, half a block from the Walnut Street shopping corridor, is wonderful for business or pleasure visitors, located between Rittenhouse Square and the Avenue of the Arts. Downstairs, the lobby is filled with inlaid marble, sleek wood, and flower arrangements; upstairs, guest rooms are very upscale and Deco-contemporary, with a glass coffee table, two armchairs, and an opulent bed with wall-mounted bedside lights on walls of handsome checkerboard cherrywood. The bathrooms are huge, with luxurious travertine marble throughout. Business travelers will find high-speed Internet jacks on the desk with easy table-top plug-ins.Chez Colette is a traditional French brasserie that serves decadent breakfasts (and complimentary coffee to guests). The lobby bar is a popular gathering spot: a New York-style lounge, with tall windows overlooking Sansom Street, a long blue Brazilian granite bar, cozy seating areas, and varied wines by the glass.

The Hilton Inn at Penn
The handsome and elegantly appointed Inn at Penn is my favorite place to stay in the city limits when west of the Schuylkill River. The Inn, managed by Hilton Hotels, is the keystone of the block-long Sansom Commons, an attractive six-story brick area that includes the outstanding University Bookstore and collegiate trendy stores such as Urban Outfitters and a Cosi coffee and sandwich bar. While the front door faces the Penn campus across Walnut Street, you'll enter through a porte-cochere off the north side of Sansom Street. Expansive stairways and corridors connect entrances to registration and to the Living Room, a fully-stocked library where complimentary tea and coffee are dispensed until 4pm, and wine and spirits are sold thereafter. Artwork and bas-reliefs of U. Penn's athletic triumphs from decades past adorn the Mission-style walls. The rooms are done in warm olive and beige tones, with top-quality furnishings, firm beds, and individual temperature controls; some were recently renovated. The academic flavor translates into efficient lighting and amenities such as dual-line phones, voice mail, and coffeemakers.Penne Restaurant and Wine Bar is a pleasant trattoria where chef Roberta Adamo hand-makes all the pasta. The Faculty Club restaurant serves breakfast and lunch. The futuristic Asian-themed Pod, with excellent pad Thai, sushi served from a conveyor belt, and sexy color-shifting decor, is within the Sansom Commons complex. University City is rich in ethnic restaurants, many within a block or two of the inn.

Philadelphia Airport Marriott Hotel
Opened in 1995 and renovated throughout in 2004, this is the only hotel linked by skywalk to Philadelphia International Airport, and the best of the airport options. The facility caters to business travelers with voice mail, speakerphone, free incoming faxes, and two dataport jacks. However, it's not a bad choice for families, since the soundproof rooms are mostly angled away from the runways, and it's very convenient to I-95. When you throw in the very complete fitness center and pool, the pleasant Riverbend restaurant, easy train or bus shuttle into Center City, and frequent weekend packages, it's well worth considering.
