The Omni is the perfect hotel in the historic area of Phila. Great service, big rooms. You can easily walk to all historic sites. Buddakahn one of the best places to eat in Philly is a half a block down from the hotel.

The Omni from Independence Park

My husband and I try to do a Philly overnight deal every winter in January, just for a change of pace. This is a city-wide promotion, which used to be offered only in the winter in order to attract tourists in the cold months but has expanded to the rest of the year, where you buy a Friday night at a participating hotel and get Sat. night free plus free parking and a little goodie bag upon checkin. The first place we stayed was the Omni, which, for a four-star hotel, was more than a little disappointing (the roach climbing up the lobby wall by the fireplace sort of clinched it). It was fairly shabby and just not that great. The location was excellent, though, right in the historic district near all the attractions and there is a Cosi coffee shop right across the street where we did breakfast, lunch, and snacks all weekend. It isn't a terrible place just not as nice as I'd expected.
Location: walking distance to most historical attractions.
Great coffee shop right across the street that provides breakfast, lunch, and late-night fare.
Very nice view of Independence Park if your room is at the front of the building.
