Perhaps just me but this has to be one of the ugliest hotels I’ve ever seen especially for a W
It looks like a death chamber or someone’s vision of their drug overdose on Halloween that has some design experience
Seriously a giant skull in the lobby ? Move the fake dead bodies in too?Ornate and overly wrought
what happened to clever, fresh & fun and simple modern luxury? Oh well at least it’s new
Philadelphia was in dire need of a good luxury hotel I couldn’t bring myself to booking it
Hopefully the photos don’t do it justice
This hotel is a candidate for the Onion award.Perhaps turn it into a Kimpton if it fails
sounds like my kind of place! I need to check it out...
