Olde City extends from the Benjamin Franklin Bridge south to
Chestnut Street and from the Delaware River west to Sixth Street.
William Penn had envisaged a beautiful waterfront for his city.
However the area became a scene of great commercial activity where
wharves; warehouses; and taverns thrived. Although the district is
one of the oldest in the city; most of the historical sites that
are preserved are located from 2nd Street west to 5th Street.
These attractions are the Betsy Ross House; Elfreth's Alley; and
Christ Church; where many signers of the Declaration knelt in
prayer. The Church's Burial Ground; nearby; contains the graves of
Benjamin Franklin and four other signers of the Declaration. The
Best Western Independence Park Hotel is at the heart of these
landmarks.
The Best Western Independence Park Inn is located on Chestnut
Street; a major thoroughfare for business and commerce; however;
it offers the seclusion of a private townhouse because its lobby
and courtyard areonly to hotel guests. While it is situated
just two blocks from corporate and government headquarters; the
Independence Park Hotel is adjacent to the beautifully tended
landscape of Philadelphia's most historic square mile; adjoining
Society Hill; Penn's Landing; and Independence National Historical
Park. Philadelphia's lush green parks and colorful past are not
the only attractions in the area. A short stroll will take you to
a host of delightful shops; restaurants and theaters in a
neighborhood of cobblestone streets. Right outside the Best
Western Independence Park Hotel door; carriages; taxis; and buses
