“As an editor, I note that this address, dating back to 1787, distinguishes itself with a colonial-era aesthetic; its intimate scale, featuring only 17 rooms, sets it apart from larger establishments. The courtyard garden offers a serene escape, reflecting its blend of historic charm and select modern comforts; its location is within easy reach of both Pennsylvania Hospital and Independence Hall.”
