Loews Philadelphia Hotel

About this place Loews Philadelphia Hotel

The Loews Philadelphia Hotel occupies the PSFS Building, completed in 1932 as the headquarters of the Philadelphia Saving Fund Society — a landmark of American modernist architecture and one of the first International Style skyscrapers in the United States. The building's conversion to hotel use preserved the extraordinary lobby and the dramatic exterior; the guest rooms are on the upper floors with city views that take in the full sweep of Center City. The Loews chain has a strong record of LGBTQ+-inclusive hospitality, and the Philadelphia property is no exception — the hotel is consistently listed among Philadelphia's most welcoming options for gay and lesbian travellers. The Market Street location puts it at the centre of the city's transit network: the Market-Frankford Line stops directly outside, providing easy access to the Gayborhood (one stop to 12th-13th Street) and to the broader city. The hotel's proximity to the Convention Center makes it a frequent choice during events that bring large numbers of gay visitors to Philadelphia — the Trans Wellness Conference, OutFest, and other major LGBTQ+ gatherings. The combination of architectural distinction, central location, and confirmed LGBTQ+ welcome makes it one of the city's top hotel choices.
