  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Unique, tons of character, clean and the best location! Our room had a beautiful balcony looking into the private courtyard and the suites and hosts provided all the comforts for a beautiful stay. Would definitely book again!

    Victoria is the best host! Brings the place to life.

    My stay at the Dwight D was amazing! The hotel was beautiful and the room was quaint and felt like home. The owner was spectacular - very kind, helpful and considerate. I will absolutely stay again the next time I come to Philly.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The property was super charming, loved that it had some character to it but still felt modern in lots of ways. It’s super hard to find both. It feels like you’re sleeping over in a mansion from the 1800’s and it’s a super cool vibe. The owners were super kind, they upgraded our room, helped us navigate our reservations and our time around. It was a great stay and I would highly recommend it!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    My wife and I are world travelers (five continents), and, simply stated, this was best hotel experience ever. If you are visiting center-city Philadelphia, I strongly recommend you consider staying here. We recently spent four nights at the Dwight D in room 3F, a beautiful room overlooking a quiet block on South 16th Street. The proprietors are an engaging and helpful couple who will advise newcomers to the city about the attractions in the neighborhood and beyond. Every detail of the room was carefully chosen for our comfort. I would say curated, but that sounds pretentious. The feeling/vibe was quiet, private, comfortable, and luxurious. The location is excellent. In five minutes, you can walk to Rittenhouse Square and encounter several appealing restaurants on Locust Street en route. Dining and libations are available on South 16th Street on the same short block as the Dwight D. We walked to the Center City tourist attractions (Independence Hall, Chinatown, Reading Terminal Market, etc.) without difficulty. It was evident that the conventional, chain hotels are located in grittier neighborhoods where we felt less comfortable walking, especially at night. We quickly grew to appreciate the quiet and genteel neighborhood around the Dwight D. My wife and I are very happy that we chose to experiment with the Dwight D (a city house hotel). Our comfortable stay was well worth the price. But now we are reluctant to return to the drab and bare-bones chain hotels. We may not do so.

    One of the best hotels I've been to and I've been to many. Highly recommended! A boutique hotel that combines a beautiful old building with a renovated and amazing room that includes, among other things, an excellent bed and a luxuriously equipped bathroom. There is attention to every detail. Cleanliness and comfort in every corner. Very good location and there is also a bonus: wonderful attitude from the hosts Vittoria and Ken.

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    The owners were very gracious and my stay was great. The room was clean and nicely designed.

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    If I could give more than 5 stars I would. The staff is so friendly. The room was so clean. So much better than staying at a chain. I will definitely stay here again when I visit Philadelphia.

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    I have never had a better experience at a hotel. I did thorough research to find the right place and it did not disappoint. The owners are the kindest, most genuine people. The property clearly demonstrates the meticulous care as well as effort for their guests. It is clean, cozy, enchanting, private and unique. I am actually sad that I cannot stay a bit longer but I’ve already rebooked my next stay. Also, if you’re visiting for the arts or artistic performances, then this is your perfect spot. The Marian Anderson Hall is right around the corner. This is truly the cities biggest hidden gem.

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    Our stay was perfect. There is nothing that we would change. Highest quality all around.

    Beautiful location within a great area in Philadelphia. Friendly staff and the room was great.
