About us
Originally built in 1895, The Witherspoon's beautiful sandstone facade and Corinthian columns have stood the test of time. Inside your space, you’ll find wooden floors, in-suite laundry, and a fully equipped kitchen. Take a trip through Philadelphia’s historical past with a visit to Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. Then, stroll through Reading Terminal Market, a beloved destination for unique foods and gifts. When you’ve worked up an appetite, Cleavers makes our favorite Philly cheesesteak. At The Witherspoon, an iconic Philadelphia experience is yours to enjoy. Use the Sonder app to navigate your stay from start to finish. Check in. Request amenities. Connect to WiFi. Contact customer support. All via our small (but mighty) app. Whatever you need, we’ve got you covered. This Sonder has a front desk and our on-site team is available during business hours to ensure you have a better stay. Neighborhood: Center City offers convenient access to a wealth of dining and entertainment options, as well as access to the city's rich history and stunning architecture. Visit the diverse merchant stands at Reading Terminal Market before spending an afternoon exploring Rittenhouse Park, ideally with a Philly Cheesesteak in hand.
