4 reviews for The Morris House
If I ever find myself in Philadelphia again in the future, I will go out of my way to stay at the Morris House. That's how pleased I've been with my experiences here.
Conveniently located to Independance Hall, this Bed & Breakfast takes you on a trip through time. Imagine this history this place saw!
The service here was A+. When I returned a year after my first visit and called to make a reservation as I was driving up, they remembered me from the last time I was there!
The room was comfortable and nicely decorated.
There were all kinds of old books on the bookshelf. One caught my eye - an early 20th century book on personality disorders. My father in law, who is a psychiatrist, would love it! I asked the staff if I could possibly buy the book, and he told me to just take it. Now that's awesome.
Next time I'm there, I'll donate a few books of my own as a way of saying thank you.
This is our favorite place to stay in Philadelphia. The Morris House has the ambiance of a bed & breakfast and the ammenities of a small boutique hotel. Each room is unique and can be "checked out" on the website in advance. The hotel has a historic and comfortable feel, not only in the rooms but also the ground floor library and dining rooms. We especially like the rooms with views of the courtyard. The Morris House is within walking distance of Independence Hall and the vibrant neighborhoods near Thomas Jefferson Uiversity and South Street.
A very pretty and conveniently located boutique hotel in Philadelphia. Most of my family and my in-laws stayed here on a "Meet the Parents" weekend. The staff was friendly and helpful with questions about the city. The rooms were clean and nicely decorated and breakfast was very good.
The Morris House is a national registered landmark that is now an upscale boutique hotel. The colonial mansion was originally built in the mid-1700's for the Morris Family, who owned it for over a century. Our large room was perfectly decorated in a modern yet timeless design, no overdone antique florals here, that still conveyed an old-fashioned charm. I loved the gourmet chocolates and designer bath products outfitted in the rooms. There was a gorgeous fireplace and a hundred books or so in the built-in bookcases flanking each side. I picked a medical book out from the late 19th century to peruse while on our comfy, spacious bed and was entertained by the floridly archaic diagnoses. The private garden was very lovely and so were the downstairs rooms where complimentary high tea was served and in another room, the included breakfast was elegantly offered up. It's very romantic and located close to all the must see sights of Philadelphia. The staff was very courteous and professional. I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would go back in a heartbeat.
History
Established in 2004
This registered national historic landmark has been renovated into a luxury boutique hotel in Philadelphia, which offers the coziness of a bed and breakfast, in an 18th century setting, combined with the luxuries of today.
Each of the fifteen rooms is decorated with individual charm and remarkable attention to detail. As the only hotel in Center City Philadelphia with a private garden, we specialize in hosting small weddings, bar mitzvahs, corporate retreats, meetings and events of all kinds.
The Morris House, built in 1787, is located in the historic district of Philadelphia known as Society Hill, just two blocks from some of our nation's most important landmarks such as Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. Three major hospitals are all within 3 blocks, and the Convention Center is just a 10 - minute walk. World class restaurants, the theatre district and the famous lively South Street with its unique shops, are all a short walk away.
