Philadelphia, or Philly as it's affectionately known, is full of iconic landmarks of all types. Surely you'll recognize Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, and the Rocky steps.

For history buffs, in particular, there are few cities that offer more to uncover with intriguing museums and neoclassical architectural jewels with stately columns that heighten historical appeal. Add in a booming arts and culinary scene, vibrant markets, and leafy parks and it's easy to see why so many fall for the City of Brotherly Love.

In recent years, Philadelphia has become even more popular with tourists and even played host to the Pope and the National Democratic Convention. That means the hotel scene is its own thriving industry with plenty of choices to suit varied needs ranging from budget-friendly townhouse B&Bs from the mid-1800s to luxury hotels with city views and chic lounges.
