1. Overview
This week we travel with SmartFlyer CEO Michael Holtz as he takes an insider look at one of the most acclaimed new hotels in North America, the Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia at Comcast Center. It not only marks the return of one of our favorite luxury brands to the City of Brotherly Love, but it also takes U.S. luxury hotels to new heights, literally and figuratively.
By Michael Holtz
Soaring above Center City in the skyline’s tallest tower, Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia at Comcast Center is located atop a 60-story landmark by architect Lord Norman Foster. It includes restaurants by Michelin-starred chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten and James Beard Award-winner Greg Vernick, and a 57th-floor spa sanctuary, including an infinity pool and fitness center.
Families love the hotel because kids love the pool, amazing views, and glass elevator ride. Couples love it as a retreat and urban getaway. You can spend an entire weekend at the hotel without leaving, dining at each restaurant, relaxing at the spa, and staying above the clouds.
For business, it offers a central location within walking distance to The Art Museum, Barnes Foundation, and Franklin Institute. It’s a five-minute walk from Rittenhouse Square for dining and shopping. It’s a five-minute drive to the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall.

The 2,137 sq. ft. Presidential Suite feels like what you’d expect a billionaire’s home to feel like.
