Philadelphia

Society Hill has only a handful of hotels, and the best-rated of them, YOWIE Hotel on South Street, scores 9.5 with guests.

All five picks are within a 4-minute walk of the Center City Business District, so a morning meeting is a stroll away.

Every hotel here is within a 6-minute walk of 1101 Arch Street, which makes a long convention week a lot easier.

From the Marriott Downtown's 90,000-plus square feet of event space to the five-star Notary, these hotels are all a short walk from the Convention Center.

Two five-star hotels near City Hall, two four-stars on the Market Street side and a 9.3-rated boutique in Washington Square West.

Two of these are outside Center City, in Manayunk and near University City, which usually means a lower rate, and both are within a 10-minute walk of a train.

All five picks are a short walk from Reading Terminal Market and the Pennsylvania Convention Center, so star rating and guest score are what set them apart.

Four LEED-certified boutique hotels in Center City, plus a small independent B&B in West Philadelphia.

Two of the four hold LEED Gold, the highest level any Philadelphia hotel has reached.

The Element's garage chargers run on the ChargePoint app, and the DoubleTree Airport lists four chargers. Call ahead at both.

Fairmount has only a handful of hotels. Here are the three worth booking, two of them a short walk from the B at Fairmount station.

All five hotels are within 0.7 miles of central Fishtown, so the real choice is a 4-star boutique or a cheaper room with the same walk to dinner.

From a design-led Motto by Rittenhouse Square to the all-suite Embassy Suites by the airport, the Hilton brand you pick matters as much as the neighborhood.

Five 4-star Philadelphia hotels with guest scores of 9.0 or better, worth checking when you book late.

Two Kimptons hold Gold for their interiors, Hyatt Centric and Homewood Suites hold Silver for new construction, and Canopy and the Navy Yard Courtyard hold the base Certified level.

All five hotels are close to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, so the choice comes down to budget and how close you want to be to the Barnes Foundation or the Franklin Institute.

All five hotels here have in-room kitchens, so the real question is which neighborhood and price range fits your stay.

With 14 Marriott brands in the city, picking the right brand matters as much as picking the right neighborhood.

Walking times vary more than the map suggests, because the Schuylkill River is between the station and the Center City hotels.

Two of the five hotels are on Columbus Boulevard itself, a minute or two from the riverside promenade.

All five hotels are within about a 6-minute walk of the Liberty Bell, so the real decision is which side of the hall you want to wake up on.

All five hotels are on or just off Broad Street, so you can walk to a show and back without hailing a cab or checking a transit map.

Only three hotels are close to the stadium, so your choice is between a LEED-certified Courtyard, a full-service casino hotel and a budget option just past the mile mark.

The on-airport Marriott skips the road entirely, and four shuttle hotels on Bartram Ave, Island Ave and Stevens Dr give you real choices across price points.
