Following a multi-million-dollar renovation, the 152-room Renaissance Philadelphia opened in the historic Old City neighborhood on June 28. The hotel is close to landmarks such as the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall.

The Alley, the guest entrance inspired by the city’s Elfreth’s Alley—home of artisans and tradespeople in the 18th century—features a staircase in blackened steel and luminous panels, contrasting gritty and glittering finishes.
