There's nothing quite like staying in a hotel room that feels like it's nearly the size of your own apartment, especially when you're staying in the heart of a bustling city like Philadelphia. And if you've been eyeing a stay at the W Philadelphia, in particular, you're in for a treat — especially if you opt to upgrade to one of the hip hotel's eight suite types with sky-high views of downtown Philly.

Full of ambience in the form of moody lighting, eclectic art and maximalist, 70s-inspired decor, the W Philadelphia feels like a retro nightclub in hotel form. I recently had the opportunity to stay at the property and tested out the 800-square-foot Studio Suite, which completely wowed me (and this was just one of the more standard suite types — so it only gets better from here).
If you're wondering how to make a stay at one of Philly's best points hotels even sweeter, here are a few reasons why we think booking a suite is well worth your money, or a Nightly Upgrade Award, at the W Philadelphia — if for nothing else other than a huge space to spread out while you enjoy your favorite Philly cheesesteak in the City of Brotherly Love with some friends.
