The Kimpton Palomar Hotel Review universal

Having lived in New York City for over two decades, I have set a pretty high bar when it comes to visiting other major metropolitan areas. But one city I love to visit (and that is super easy to access via Amtrak from NYC) is the City of Brotherly Love itself, Philadelphia.

I've popped down to Philly for a long weekend on more than one occasion and my go-to spot is the Kimpton Palomar. And while I always love a Kimpton, I've now learned that my dog, Bubbie, loves them just as much as I do. Here’s my honest review of my recent stay.
