Hotel Information


HOTELS
We have been in the process of researching hotels for everyone to stay at for the wedding. Here's a starting point:

COURTYARD MARRIOTT
21 N Juniper Street
(2150 496-3200
http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/phldc-courtyard-
philadelphia-downtown/

This hotel is about .7 miles from the wedding site (easily walkable through a nice part of town), located just east of City Hall. We have reserved a block of rooms at this hotel under "Cruiess/Miller." We were quoted a rate of $129.00 for a double room. In order to get this rate you must call the hotel directly, and the rooms must be booked by March 15, 2009.

SOFITEL
120 South 17th Street
(215) 569-8300

-philadelphia/index.shtml

We have a block of 10 rooms for Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights here. Rob and I are planning on staying here and it is literally two blocks from the wedding location and it is a pretty nice hotel chain. The pricing I have reserved is quoted was $140/night for a room with one king-size bed, and $160/night for two double beds. The double-bed rooms are not technically part of the block, but are on an as-available basis. These rates are only valid through March 15.

CLUB QUARTERS
1628 Chestnut Street
(215) 282-5000
http://www.clubquarters.com/loc_philadelphia.aspx

This hotel is approximately 2.5 blocks from the wedding location. The problem is that you can't reserve a block of rooms unless you are a member. However, you can book rooms here through hotels.com, expedia.com or the like. The average rate per night was about $150.
