Conveniently located just steps away from Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell in the heart of the country’s most historic square mile, Kimpton Hotel Monaco Philadelphia brings a modern vibe to Philadelphia’s revolutionary past.
Housed inside Philly’s historic Lafayette building, this four-star, luxurious boutique hotel features 268 guest rooms and suites, 13,000 square feet of meeting space, a stunning ballroom, a rooftop lounge and an acclaimed neighborhood restaurant.
Located in beautiful Old City on the northeast corner of 5th and Chestnut streets, Kimpton Hotel Monaco Philadelphia sits in the heart of Philadelphia’s Historic District near many of the city’s (and the nation’s) top historical attractions.
To honor the neighborhood’s rich past and exciting present, the hotel’s accommodations — which recently underwent a full renovation in early 2026 — boast a timeless feel that’s punctuated by contemporary design choices. Guests can look forward to a neutral palette accented by hues of blue and green, modern abstract artwork and plenty of stylish accents.
Fun fact: The Hotel Monaco joins the Hotel Palomar as the second LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold Certified Kimpton hotel in the city.

Red Owl Tavern
The cozy on-site Red Owl Tavern offers street-side dining and classic comfort food with a twist.
The menu features handcrafted cocktails made with fresh-squeezed juices, house-cured charcuterie and cheese, and a variety of creative New American entrees. Guests can eat in the spacious, rustic dining room or grab a bite to go from the take-out counter.
Stratus Rooftop Lounge
For classic cocktails in a modern atmosphere, guests can head upstairs to Stratus — an indoor/outdoor rooftop lounge.
Located 11 stories above street level, the bar draws a chic crowd of patrons who come to dance the night away to DJ-spun music every Friday and Saturday. Five days a week, the posh rooftop spot serves up craft cocktails as well as a curated selection of wine and beer.
