Our take
By Matt Spaulding, Founder and writer
The rooms at the Renaissance Philadelphia Downtown Hotel carry pop art portraits of famous Philadelphians. It stands at 401 Chestnut Street, 6 minutes on foot from Independence Hall. PM Hotel Group says it debuted in 2018 after a renovation, and some listings still show the building under older names such as The Franklin at Independence Park. It has a pool and a restaurant, Franklin Social, and per Marriott's FAQ you can check in from 4 PM and must be out by 11 AM. Marriott's rate list for 17 November 2026 had no Includes line, which means no destination fee. Its prices left tax out, and Philadelphia's 15.5% room tax comes on top, or 16.25% at hotels with 50 or more rooms. Marriott's FAQ puts valet off-site at $65 a day. Up to two pets of 25 pounds each can come, at $50 a night non-refundable, so a driver with a dog adds $115 a night to the room and its tax.
