The all-new Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia has redefined the skyline of one of America’s most storied cities.
Seated atop the towering 1,121ft Comcast Technology Center in the city’s vibrant downtown, the hotel offers unobstructed views from the 48th to 60th floors at the very summit of the building.
Designed by Norman Foster of Foster + Partners, the 219-room hotel also includes new restaurant concepts by Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Greg Vernick, a full-floor spa and wellness sanctuary and extensive meeting spaces.
“The Comcast Technology Center stands tall as a new Philadelphia landmark – reshaping the city’s skyline and signifying a new, exciting chapter in its storied history,” says Christian Clerc, Four Seasons’ president of worldwide hotel operations.
“Guests will be in awe from the moment they step into the glass elevators on their swift journey to the 60th floor sky lobby, as they look out over the unobstructed cityscape from their dinner table at Jean-Georges Philadelphia, or swim up to the edge of the 57th floor infinity pool.”

Ben Shank, the hotel’s general manager, whose Four Seasons career began in the city 20 years ago, adds: “We quite literally upend the traditional idea of a hotel and provide visitors with breath-taking experiences as they move through venues in our spectacular building.”
Moments after check in, guests enter one of 180 rooms and 39 suites to find an expression of art and technology in Philadelphia Dorian, a composition of on-screen video and sound created exclusively for Four Seasons by musician, record producer and visual artist Brian Eno.

All guest rooms and suites offer the award winning X1 Video Experience, including approximately 300 channel options and a complimentary library of more than 50,000 movies and shows on demand, all searchable with the X1 voice remote.
On the 59th floor, the city of Philadelphia spreads out toward the horizon on all sides of Jean-Georges Philadelphia, a new restaurant by Michelin-starred Chef . 40ft high glass walls afford panoramic city views, while a cleverly mirrored ceiling reflects both the diners below and the city that surrounds them.

Up a grand staircase flanked by waterfalls that bisect the space, Foster gives patrons an opportunity to literally raise a toast higher than ever before at JG SkyHigh cocktail bar on the 60th floor.
On ground level, James Beard award winner and hometown hero Chef Greg Vernick highlights his unique approach to modern American dining at Vernick Fish, which spills into the street in an easy indoor-outdoor environment created by Tihany Design, their first project in the city.
Chef Vernick has also partnered with Four Seasons to bring Vernick Coffee Bar to the second floor lobby of the Comcast Technology Center. A to-go bakery and barista bar, the restaurant includes a full-service 42-seat café offering Chef Vernick’s signature global flavours.
Encompassing the entire 57th floor, the Spa is a sanctuary of wellness, including a lifestyle boutique, fitness centre created in consultation with celebrity fitness guru Harley Pasternak, and a spectacular 30,000-gallon indoor infinity pool.
Located in the heart of Center City and just minutes from the Barnes Foundation, the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, Rittenhouse Square and The Liberty Bell, the location of Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia and the Comcast Center Campus allows business and leisure travellers to experience all that the city has to offer.
