W Philadelphia

W Philadelphia brings 295 rooms and suites to Center City’s Chestnut Street corridor, sitting roughly a 10-minute walk from the Pennsylvania Convention Center and within half a mile of Rittenhouse Square. The property operates under the Marriott portfolio and carries a design identity rooted in Philadelphia’s art and music culture, running through the guestrooms, common areas, and three floors of meeting space. On-site dining is anchored by Dolce Italian, with the Living Room bar and restaurant, the WET Bar on the pool deck, and AWAY Spa rounding out the experiential amenities. The hotel’s WET Deck, a year-round heated outdoor pool with cabanas, has drawn consistent recognition, including a No. 1 Spa in Philadelphia designation from USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice awards.

W Philadelphia offers over 46,000 square feet of total event space spread across 36 dedicated event rooms. The flagship venue is the Great Room, a 5,500-square-foot ballroom that can hold up to 500 guests. Groups looking for a buyout experience can take over the entire 7th Floor, which includes exclusive access to the WET Deck heated pool, the Secret Garden outdoor venue, and the WET Bar, accommodating up to 350 guests in that configuration. The hotel also maintains a smaller intimate space known as the secret bar off the lobby, capacity limited to 15 guests, suitable for VIP receptions or private dinners with a custom menu.
