Located on 13^th Street, The Independent Hotel is an integral part of the local community. With 24 spacious rooms that echo the comforts of a refined home, and a vertical four-story lobby atrium adorned with a 30-foot watercolor painting, guests will discover the perfect address from which to explore the city.  As a member of the Independent Collection, The Independent Hotel in Philadelphia celebrates the vibrant neighborhood it inhabits.  Not only is 13th Street known as Philadelphia’s ‘new’ restaurant row, our neighborhood of Midtown Village has fantastic restaurants and unique boutiques.  Our nation’s history, the arts,  theater, music, dance and more are foot steps away from the hotel.

Fish, an award-winning locally acclaimed restaurant, moved to The Independent Hotel in early 2012. Fish features an oyster bar, full dining room, bar and an intimate outside courtyard.  The cuisine is casual fine-dining and the menu features not just fish, though unsurprisingly, they do fish well.

Quirky boutique gift shops, clothing stores and a thriving restaurant scene make the small, tree-lined streets of this somewhat edgy, self-proclaimed gayborhood a welcome reprieve.  Our Neighborhood Guide is the insider’s introduction to the area.
