1. This was our second stay in a Kimpton Hotel and it will be hard to stay any where else after this visit.

"Excellent guest services, comfortable rooms, attractive amenities and an excellent restaurant on premises. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 5/21/2012 Vote

2. Very positive experience would encourage me to return and to recommend them, although I usually favour more period-style hotels (so might find the opulent Ritz-Carlton hard to resist; not in the same league cost-wise of course.

3. I could hardly believe that a hotel of this category would not offer any breakfast at all, so I had called several times to speak to various employees, but they all said the same.

10. )The Palomar is in a great location near Rittenhouse Square, has a very friendly and genuine staff, and the decor is cool, feels new and light-hearted without trying too hard (like say, The Viceroy in LA).
