If you want a glimpse into staying in the 5-star rated Guild House, imagine a boutique hotel that flawlessly pairs luxurious modern amenities with unparalleled historic charm. The rowhome that houses this ornate stay was once the location of the New Century Guild, a trailblazing club assembled in 1882 to support Philadelphia’s growing population of working women.
Though the Guild House has a different purpose in the city now, its keepers have gone to great lengths to keep its past alive and honor its notable inhabitants. Each room and suite is named after and inspired by one of the remarkable women of the Guild. For example, guests can stay in the whimsical ‘Alice’ split-level suite, dedicated to Dr. Alice Norton, who was responsible for the Guild’s musical and theatrical productions.
Located in lively Washington Square West, this LGBTQ-friendly boutique is proud to be a part of Philadelphia’s inclusive Midtown Village, lovingly nicknamed the ‘Gayborhood.’ After taking a trip to the past in the Guild House, guests can celebrate Philly’s present and future at nearby eateries and art museums just steps away from the property!
