The Best Hotels in West Philadelphia
West Philadelphia is iconic thanks to Will Smith. It's the home of history, culture and most of the major Universities in the city: University of Pennsylvania, Drexel, and Hannehman. It also has Victorian mansions, cutting-edge cuisine and a crunchy sub-culture with funky shops to match while visiting students or just basing yourself in a more unique part of the city.
