In Short Bucking the more casual aspects of its historic turn-of-the-20th-century hostel beginnings, this boutique hotel greets visitors with uniformed doormen and an escort to rooms that feature elegant accoutrements such as marble-topped dressers and plush robes.

We stayed at the Latham for 4 nights. First the good news: On usual hotel factors, it was very satisfying. Room was clean and charming, great location, staff friendly. The A/C was powerful, a big plus as it was over 90 all week. We didn't find it musty or outdated (except for the antique Internet station), as some have said,... more

We've stayed at the Latham many times. Have tried other Philadelphia hotels, but always return here.

There are so many great restaurants within easy walking distance that room... more

I stayed for one night in April. I was expecting the hotel to be a bit smarter than I found it, but chose it mainly for its location, which was indeed very central and convenient. It was a little outdated and musty, but no problems, and I would say perfectly fine if you just need a base to explore!
