Savor the Journey
in Philadelphia
ocated in the heart of the city, steps from the historic
district, shopping, restaurants and sports arenas, Loews
Philadelphia Hotel is ideally situated for exploring the
surrounding area—just minutes from the Philadelphia
International Airport, Amtrak’s 30th Street Station, and
directly across the street from the Pennsylvania Convention
Center. But Loews Philadelphia Hotel is defined by much
more than its perfect location or 581 luxurious guest
rooms and suites—the property itself is steeped in
history, evoking memories of Philadelphia during
the rough-and-tumble 1930s.
Opened on April 3, 2000, this landmark
building was named for its original occupants—the
Philadelphia Savings Fund Society bank (or the
PSFS building to locals). Built in 1932, it was the city’s
first skyscraper and the first to o;er central air condi-
tioning. The fabric of the structure is made up of stainless
steel, granite, glazed and unglazed black brick, limestone,
myriad varieties of marble, rare woods and leather. It was
designed by William Lescaze and George Howe, com-
missioned in 1929, and opened in stages between 1932
and 1933. More than three quarters of a century later, it is
still considered a masterpiece of American architecture.
Additionally, it was the first skyscraper in the city to have
any type of “advertising.” The
27-foot-high, rooftop PSFS sign
in red neon letters still serves as a
beacon in the Philadelphia skyline.
In PSFS’ heyday the sign was
always lit, even during the Great
Depression. Now, on a clear night,
it can be seen from more than
20 miles away. Loews is proud to occupy a building in one
of America’s most historic cities, and with such special
meaning to all Philadelphians.
