The best hotels with hot tubs in Philadelphia

This boutique hotel’s exceptional design (the lobby features a white marble fireplace, velvet sofa and colorful busts of Ben Franklin) extends to the guest rooms with jewel-toned linens, spa-inspired bathrooms and views of the city skyline. Book one for the Kimpton hotel’s 19 spa rooms or suites to sink into the luxurious jetted soaking tubs.

W Philadelphia is one of the hottest new luxury hotels in town. Its design has been described as multi-faceted, perfect for all you design geeks out there. You'll find artwork of abstract murals as well as portraits of the city’s most famous musicians. There is also a heated year round pool on the seventh-floor WET Deck which can easily pass for a hot tub.

This Hilton property on the site of the old Four Seasons incorporates plenty of funky twists into its decor, like wire sculptures flanking the check-in desk and sepia-toned photographs of legendary Philadelphians hanging from the lobby ceiling. For an extra luxurious stay, reserve the Presidential Suite, which includes a massive soaking tub.

Its waterfront location gives this hotel stellar views of the Delaware River and an old-world charm that’s only heightened by the room’ exposed brick walls and dark-wood furnishings. Try one of the 150 wines stored in the wine cellar (which The Guinness Book of World Records has declared the largest in the world) before settling into one of the deluxe rooms with a king-sized bed and marble jacuzzi tub.

Just a short walk from the University of Pennsylvania, this hotel would be a convenient choice for prospective students and families visiting the campus. It’s also a sleek (if not particularly stylish) property, with amenities like a fitness center, indoor pool and large hot tub.
