Experience Our Boutique Hotel in Philadelphia

Stay in Penn’s View Hotel

Immerse yourself in history at Penn’s View Hotel, a charming boutique hotel on the Delaware River in Philadelphia. Built in 1828, it began as a shipping warehouse before becoming a hardware store and later a coffee house. In 1989, the Sena family transformed it into a luxury hotel. Opening in the 1990s with 27 rooms, it expanded to 49 rooms, two suites, and the renowned Panorama restaurant. Discover this historic gem in Old City, where past and present blend beautifully.
