shamrock47 Posted December 31, 2005 #2 Share Posted December 31, 2005 We just did this in September '05. On advise of a local, we booked the Loew's hotel. I do not know the location off hand but it is downtown. Just across the street is the indoor farmer's market. Subway terminal is also nearby. We took the subway to see the Phillies play. The trolly runs right by the hotel and I believe it is hop on and hop off. It takes you to see the historic sites and most are really close to the hotel. City hall is beautiful and is about 5 blocks from the hotel. We walked ourselves ragged trying to see all the history the city had to offer. Of course we were unable, but we gave it a try. The Loew's was not cheap, but very nice-it is built in an old bank building. It's location sealed the deal for us. It could be our one and only time in the city. Good luck and enjoy your trip.
