We stayed on the top level suite and it was absolutely superb! It was amazing to have a little bit more space all to ourselves so we were able to get some groceries and coffee and just hang out. Victoria‘s hospitality was above and beyond and really gave you the layout of the city right when you got there. The property was perfect for walking around and getting out and about in A surrounded by a ton of amazing restaurants, restaurants. We will definitely be coming back!

Loved it! I loved the historic feel of it but it had such nice updated touches. The owners were so informative and really helped us on traveling around Philly. We loved the coffee and tea in the morning. It was quiet at night but was so close to everything in the city. Highly recommend.

The owner and staff at the Dwight D are masters of luxury. They are passionate and knowledgeable about their city and are dedicated to making sure that you have the best stay imaginable. The room was perfect. Everything and more that one would expect from a luxury property. I could write pages about how great this experience was and it is all thanks to the care and attention given by the team at the Dwight D. This is where you stay when you want to be treated like royalty.

Great PHL Historic District hotel
Beautifully restored and decorated, well-located boutique hotel in a "converted" house. Somewhat limited (2-7pm) check-in hours (which are communicated to the guest by email and phone). Exceedingly helpful and friendly owner and staff. Beds are very comfortable. Be aware of no elevator if mobility challenged.

We had a great stay at the Dwight D. The property spans two beautifully renovated townhouses made into one boutique hotel. Everything from the beds to linens and robs were top notch. The rooms have little touches like wine, assorted beverage glasses and an iPad with room and area information. The hosts were very helpful and welcoming. This is where will will stay next time we visit Philadelphia.

Lovely old guest house. Not a traditional hotel. You have your own front door key, no night person on front desk, which was fine. Loved back yard but buggy from rain. Only complaint is drapes in room flimsy and not lined or room darkening. TP on the low end of quality for such a lovely home. Bed and linen comfort excellent. Go to Bellini’s for Italian down the street. Food good and owners ( brothers) a hoot!
