A Guide to Hotels in South Philly

The only hotel at the revamped eponymous waterfront campus, Courtyard Philadelphia South at The Navy Yard is convenient to any lower South Philly site. Take a 15-minute stroll to the Riverfront Greenway or visit one of the Navy Yard parks, including League Island Park, Crescent Park, the Marine Parade Grounds and the Central Green(located right across the street with its circular pathway and outdoor ping pong tables). The site is also just a 20-minute walk to the Sports Complex. The hotel offers over 200 guest rooms, a 24-hour fitness center, The Bistro restaurant, a Starbucks and a bar.

La Holiday Inn Philadelphia Airport-Stadium Area is just about a 30-minute walk (or a much-shorter rideshare) to the South Philadelphia Sports Complex, home to the Phillies, Flyers, Eagles and 76ers. The hotel is also just a 15-minute stroll to both the Eagles’ Novacare Complex training facility and the expansive, fun-filled 350-acre FDR Park. The property offers over 200 spacious rooms, a fitness center, and the Whit Lounge Restaurant serving American cuisine for breakfast and dinner.
