Top New Reasons to Visit Philly in 2021

Just in time for summer comes the grand opening of the Guild House Hotel, a boutique property in a National Historic Landmark building that belonged to — and will honor — a 19th-century working women’s advocacy and support group known as the New Century Guild. The rooms and suites — 12 in total — in the Washington Square West hotel are named after women who were abolitionists, suffragettes, activists, educators, poets and artists. In its new iteration, the invisible service hotel will maintain founder Eliza Turner’s name above the front door while transforming the interior to accommodate modern travelers’ desires for multi-night stays in rooms and suites.
