The hotel

Nestled in the iconic Lafayette Building, an architectural landmark built in 1907, the Hotel Monaco Philadelphia offers luxurious accommodation close to all attractions. It’s also one of the few hotels in Philly to feature a rooftop lounge – located on the 11th floor, it’s a great place to relax with a few drinks, admiring the views as the sun sets on another day. The Red Owl Tavern is also a popular spot for guests and locals alike, serving hearty meals in a warm and friendly atmosphere. If you’re keen to keep trim, there’s a fitness centre on-site. Alternatively, bikes are available for complimentary rental on a first come first served basis – an excellent way to get around, make sure you bag yourself a two-wheeler at some point during your stay. Every evening, the hotel hosts a complimentary wine hour in the lobby lounge – not just a great way to meet and mingle with fellow guests, it’s also handy for picking up tips on sights to see off the beaten track and places to eat!

Staying here to celebrate a birthday and had some miscommunication with the reservation department that made certain things unclear. Abigail at the front desk was super understanding and accommodating. She assisted us in finding the perfect room to suite our needs. She went over and above. Thank you!!!-LH

The Monaco Hotel is excellent, great location and rooms, friendly staff. Best view in the city, just across the historical places and near very good restaurants. Definitely going back again in the future.

The Hotel Monaco staff was the best we had a New Years Eve wedding that was very challenging; but they made it very pleasant and easy Desiree , Amber ; Tiffany , Aurel ; and the bell captain (sorry forgot his name ) all helped make our stay perfect. Look forward to our reception on 6/12/21

The only plus is it's location the rest is all downhill from there. The hotel is in dire need of an update to keep up with competition. After a long time I have tried an IHG property and was extremely disappointing. The offload area is literally the street no drive in or covered area to park and check in, the hotel was not clean at all it wreacked of the smell of marijuana and alcohol, the rooms were small and dated had an older philips tv with $10 water bottles around the area, almost every interior piece that was in the room was badly rusted. Check in was smooth but the area at the time of check in was crowded and no one guiding people to maintain distance. As a 'platinum elite' member you will not get much either I requested a late check out and even that became a huge issue, staff at the time of check out was super rude, during a pandemic they are still sending bell boys to the rooms to collect bags while there is no valet or housekeeping being offered, it makes zero sense. A hotel these days should strictly comply with all cdc regulations and enforce masks and maintaining of distance which this property clearly didn't, the bell boy was a true over kill as it seems he was offended by us simply saying no to any help. I understand the industry is going through a bad time but at least be a little more appreciative of the ones who are brave enough to take on the risk of traveling and staying in hotels on the basis of trust. I personally will not be bringing back my family to this hotel ever again. Read less
