Philly Attractions

Guild House Hotel is nestled in the heart of Washington Square West, a busy, buzzy neighborhood known for its thriving food scene and close proximity—in many cases, easy walking distance!—to dozens of famed historic landmarks and cultural attractions, as well as some of the city’s best boutiques, spas, restaurants, bars and more.

We’re also just steps away from easy public transit options, including buses, the subway, Amtrak, Zipcar, and Indego bike-share stations.
