Lights of Liberty
Since the summer of 1999, the most important park sights have been the backdrop for the world's first interactive sound-and-light walking tour, providing visitors with a lively, fun, high-tech immersion into the drama of the American Revolution as it happened and where it happened. You'll walk as night falls over Old City past trendy bars and restaurants, but be transported into Philadelphia 2 centuries ago: Five-story projections on historic buildings and wireless headsets equipped with movie-style "surround" sound make it the closest "virtual" Colonial experience money can buy.The ground floor of the PECO Energy Center, next to Independence and Congress Halls on Chestnut Street, has been transformed into a group ticketing and holding area. Try to arrive at dusk, especially with kids, since there's a maximum of 50 per tour and it's first-come, first-served. You'll pick up headsets automatically tuned to a script read by such actors as Ossie Davis and Charlton Heston, and which are triggered automatically as your group arrives at the planned Park destinations. Younger children might prefer the alternative kids' headsets.Led by a guide, you'll walk across the moonlit cobblestone streets to Park sites, where the Revolutionary story is compressed into five acts. Rifles crackle, cannons boom, and the founders of America argue with actual quotes interwoven into the script. They're backed with choral music and a soundtrack performed by members of the Philadelphia Orchestra. The visuals are somewhere between shadow-box projections and animation, with superb color and resolution. The finale of 1776 takes place right in back of Independence Hall, and it's irresistibly thrilling.
Old St. Joseph's Church
When it was founded in 1733, St. Joseph's was the only place in the English-speaking world where Roman Catholics could celebrate Mass publicly. The story goes that Benjamin Franklin advised Father Greaton to protect the church, since religious bigotry wasn't unknown even in the Quaker city. That's why the building is so unassuming from the street, a fact that didn't save it from damage during the anti-Catholic riots of the 1830s. Such French allies as Lafayette worshiped here. The present interior (1838, and renovated in 1985 to its late-19th-century appearance) is Greek Revival merging into Victorian, with wooden pews and such unusual colors as mustard and pale yellow. The interior has also preserved a Colonial style unusual in a Catholic church.
Christ Church
The most beautiful Colonial building north of Market Street has to be Christ Church (1727-54). Its spire gleams white from anywhere in the neighborhood, now that a grassy park and a subway stop have replaced the buildings to the south. The churchyard has benches, tucked under trees or beside brick walls.Christ Church, dating from the apex of English Palladianism, follows the proud and graceful tradition of Christopher Wren's churches in London. As in many of them, the interior spans one large arch, with galleries above the sides as demanded by the Anglican church. Behind the altar, the massive Palladian window -- a central columned arch flanked by proportional rectangles of glass -- was the wonder of worshipers and probably the model for the one in Independence Hall. The main chandelier was brought over from England in 1744. As in King's Chapel in Boston, seating is by pew instead of on open benches -- Washington's seat is marked with a plaque.With all the stones, memorials, and plaques, it's impossible to ignore history here. William Penn was baptized at the font, sent over from All Hallows' Church in London. Penn left the Anglican church at age 23 (he spent most of his 20s in English jails because of it), but his charter included a clause that an Anglican church could be founded if 20 residents requested it, which they did. Socially conscious Philadelphians of the next generations adopted Anglicanism, then switched to Episcopalianism after the Revolution.
Comfort Inn Downtown/Historic Area
Comfort Inn at Penn's Landing is the area's only moderately priced waterfront hotel (sometimes offering specials from $69), in a corner of the Old City between I-95 and the Delaware River. It tends to attract a lot of student or senior groups. There is a courtesy shuttle van to Center City, and the cross-town subway line is 2 blocks away. Comfort Inn has been built to airport-area noise specifications, with insulated windows and other features to lessen the din of traffic. The eastern views of the river from the upper floors are stupendous. A complimentary continental breakfast is served in the cocktail lounge. There's a coin laundry on the second floor, and half the rooms are designated for nonsmokers. The fitness room stocks weights and has cardio-fitness machines.
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.
Alexander Inn
The Alexander Inn bills itself as a four-star hotel at reasonable rates. It's got all the comfort and friendliness of a bed-and-breakfast, with a classy 1930s Art Deco/cruise boat feel to the furnishings. Rooms feature DirecTV with eight all-movie channels, direct dial phones with voice mail, and individual artwork, and bathrooms sparkle with cleanliness. Room rates include a breakfast buffet -- until noon on weekends (though there's no restaurant) -- and use of the fully equipped 24-hour fitness center and a business center. Note that the Alexander Inn is in the heart of the gay/lesbian district of Center City, and its clientele is both straight and gay.
