Center City East or West

I guess I waited too long to book the Hotwire 3.5 star hotel in Penn%26#39;s Landing. Y%26#39;all thought it was Sheraton.

I am not a map reader. Are either of these areas within easy walking distance to historical area?

We plan to visit 7-9 August. Many Thanks.

Center City East or West

Center City East is closer than Center City West. If you find yourself out of the range you feel comfortable walking there are good public transit options everywhere, like the Phlash tourist bus and regular SEPTA buses that will take you to the Historic Area in a matter of minutes.

If it is the Sheraton, you will be just a few blocks from the sites. It is in an excellent location. That being said, nothing in town is beyond walking distance if the weather is good and can handle up to 2 miles.

Here%26#39;s what I see on Hotwire August 7-9 that you may be interested in:

4* hotel Center City East for $129/night - looks to be the Westin

3* hotel Center City East for $84/night - looks to be the Crowne Plaza

3.5* hotel Center City East for $106/night - looks to be the Club Quarters

3.5* hotel Olde Town (really Old City)/Penn%26#39;s Landing for $143/night - looks to be the Sheraton Society Hill -

Hope that information helps some. All are conveniently located in Philly, some moreso than others to the Historic District (the Sheraton Society Hill is the most central to the Historic District than the others.) That being said, I certainly wouldn%26#39;t discount the Westin for $129/night.

Good luck!
