A standard hotel room works fine for a night or two. After that, you need space, a real kitchen, and a place that actually feels like yours. If you’re planning an extended stay in Philadelphia — whether for work, relocation, a medical situation, or just slow travel done right — The Windsor Suites on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway is worth your full attention.

A Location That Works Hard for You

Situated at 1700 Benjamin Franklin Parkway between the Philadelphia Museum of Art and City Hall, The Windsor Suites puts you at the center of everything. Philadelphia was named one of the “Best Places to Visit in 2026” by both Travel + Leisure and The Wall Street Journal — and this address is exactly why.

• Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Franklin Institute, and the Liberty Bell Center are all within easy walking distance
• Reading Terminal Market and Elfreth’s Alley just a short stroll away
• Acclaimed restaurants like Vernick, Amada, Barbuzzo, and Fork all within a mile

When you’re staying for weeks rather than days, a great location stops being a bonus and starts being a necessity. This one delivers.

Suites That Actually Feel Like Home

Every suite at The Windsor Suites comes with a fully equipped kitchen, separate living and dining areas, and the kind of space that makes a long stay feel comfortable rather than claustrophobic. You’ve got options depending on your needs:

• Studio, Deluxe, and One-Bedroom Suites in king, double queen, and accessible configurations
• Skyline Club Level suites with penthouse-style finishes and exclusive access to the Observation Lounge with complimentary snacks and refreshments
• Unfurnished apartments for guests who need something truly residential for several months or more

The hotel is family-friendly and pet-friendly too — so you can bring the whole household without compromise.

Amenities Built Around Longer Stays

The Windsor Suites doesn’t just accommodate extended stays — it’s genuinely designed for them. The amenities here make daily life easier and more enjoyable:

• Rooftop Skydeck with a seasonal infinity pool, panoramic skyline views, and a fire pit
• State-of-the-art fitness studio with Peloton bikes
• Two on-site restaurants: Con Murphy’s Irish Pub and Asia on the Parkway (open daily for lunch and dinner, with takeout to your suite available)
• 24-hour concierge staffed by genuine Philadelphia insiders
• Onsite valet parking with full in/out privileges and complimentary Wi-Fi throughout

Both restaurants accommodate vegetarian, gluten-free, and other dietary needs — a small but meaningful detail when you’re eating there more than once a week.

Service That Remembers Your Name

The team at The Windsor Suites are consistently described as Philadelphia insiders who genuinely want to share the city with guests — not just hand over a key card. On an extended stay, that kind of personalized service adds up. It’s a big part of why The Windsor Suites is consistently ranked among Philadelphia’s top hotels, and why guests who arrive for a project or a relocation so often leave feeling like they actually know the city.

Ready to Make It Your Home Base?

Extended stays at The Windsor Suites combine the comfort of residential living with the service and amenities of a boutique hotel — all in one of Philadelphia’s most walkable, vibrant neighborhoods.

Philly All-Star Week: Where to Stay

Philadelphia is hosting the 2026 MLB All-Star Game on July 14 — the first time the Midsummer Classic has returned to the City of Brotherly Love in 30 years. For baseball fans, this isn't just a game. It's a week-long takeover of one of America's great sports cities, and where you stay shapes the entire experience.

What's Happening During All-Star Week?

The action starts well before the first pitch:

• Capital One All-Star Village (July 11–14) at the Pennsylvania Convention Center — an indoor baseball theme park with player meet-and-greets, free and open to the public 
• T-Mobile Home Run Derby at Citizens Bank Park on July 13 
• HBCU Swingman Classic and other ballpark events throughout the week 
• MLB All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park on July 14

That's four full days of programming spread across Center City and South Philadelphia — meaning your hotel location determines how much of it you actually catch.

Why an All-suite Hotel Changes the Math

Standard hotel rooms were designed for one night, maybe two. An event like All-Star Week deserves more. At The Windsor Suites, every accommodation is a suite — minimum 450 square feet — with a full kitchen, separate living area, and space to actually decompress after a day on your feet.

• Prepare breakfast in your suite and start the day on your own schedule 
• Store gear, souvenirs, and snacks without living out of a suitcase 
• Spread out with family or a group without feeling like sardines 
• Return to a real living space after a long game day

For multi-night stays, the difference isn't cosmetic. It's the reason families and groups book suites over rooms.

Getting from the Parkway to Citizens Bank Park

The Windsor Suites sits on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Center City — convenient to the Broad Street Line subway, which runs directly to Citizens Bank Park in South Philadelphia. The commute is straightforward and significantly easier than navigating parking near the ballpark. Our Valet & Stay Package handles your car at just $5 per day, so you can leave it with us and move around the city freely all week.

Between games: the Parkway is your backyard

All-Star Week has plenty of downtime built in. The Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia Museum of Art, and Franklin Institute are steps from our front door — ideal for a morning before an afternoon game, or a full rest day between events. The Skydeck's rooftop infinity pool and skyline views are exactly where you want to be on a warm July evening.

Your base for the Midsummer Classic

The Windsor Suites is the all-suite hotel on Philadelphia's most iconic boulevard, positioned to give you spacious, well-equipped accommodations and frictionless access to everything All-Star Week demands.

Fall is when the Benjamin Franklin Parkway earns its reputation. The trees turn, museum season kicks in, and some of the city's biggest events of the year happen within walking distance of our front door at 1700 Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Here's what our team recommends from October through the holidays, with 2026 dates for the events worth planning a trip around.

Fall in Philly

• Benjamin Franklin Parkway foliage. Walk out the front door and head up the Parkway toward the Philadelphia Museum of Art as the trees go red, orange and gold. Finish at the top of the Rocky Steps or stop into a museum along the way. Top spots for fall foliage
• Longwood Gardens. Fall color across the grounds plus seasonal displays in the conservatory, an easy day trip to Kennett Square. With valet parking on site, getting your car out for the day is simple. Plan your visit

• Halloween Nights at Eastern State Penitentiary. Haunted attractions, themed bars and Halloween entertainment inside one of the city's most atmospheric historic sites. Select nights through November 7. Halloween Nights
• Philadelphia ghost tours. See Old City after dark, with stories of Philly's darker history and its most legendary characters. A good October night out for adults.

Culture and cozy days

Three of the city's signature museums sit on the Parkway itself, so a cold or rainy day is easy to fill on foot.

• Philadelphia Museum of Art. Spend a few hours inside, then take the photo from the Rocky Steps. Visit the museum
• The Barnes Foundation. An extraordinary collection of Impressionist and modern art, right on the Parkway. Explore the Barnes
• The Franklin Institute. Hands-on science and rotating exhibitions that keep kids and adults busy on a chilly afternoon. Visit the Franklin Institute
• Museum of the American Revolution. Immersive galleries on the city's revolutionary history. Special exhibition The Declaration's Journey runs through January 3, 2027. Plan your visit
• Mural Arts Printing by the People. A community print studio where you can make your own artwork inspired by Philly's mural tradition. A creative stop for all ages. Printing by the People
• Academy of Music. Broadway, ballet and opera in a historic Broad Street hall. This season brings The Great Gatsby (October 20 to November 1) and BOOP! The Musical (November 17 to 29). Upcoming performances

Holiday and winter

• Christmas Village. The open-air holiday market at LOVE Park and City Hall, a short walk from the hotel. Gifts, ornaments, food and plenty of festive atmosphere, November 21 to December 27 (closed November 23 to 25 and Christmas Day). Christmas Village
• Winter at Dilworth Park. Skate beneath City Hall, wander the Wintergarden and warm up at the seasonal cabin. The rink typically runs mid-November through late February. Winter at Dilworth Park
• Blue Cross RiverRink Winterfest. Outdoor skating, winter lights, food and a lodge atmosphere on the Delaware River waterfront. RiverRink Winterfest
• Holiday shopping on Walnut and Chestnut. Local boutiques, national favorites and holiday windows throughout Center City.
• Miracle on 13th Street. A South Philly block that goes all-in on holiday lights every December. Go after dark.

Only in Philly

• A Philly food tour. Taste your way through the city and pick up some local history along the way.

2026 event calendar: October to December

Why a suite makes this season easier

October through December is when the Parkway gets busy, and that's when the extra space pays off.

• Race weekends. Rocky Run and Marathon Weekend both use the Parkway, so you can walk to the course. Make your own pre-race breakfast in your suite's kitchen instead of hunting for an open café at 5 a.m.
• Holiday trips with family. A One Bedroom Double/Double Suite sleeps up to six, with a separate bedroom, a living room with a pullout sofa and a dining table for four. Kids get space to spread out after Christmas Village; adults get a door that closes.
• Thanksgiving week. The parade comes up the Parkway. Pick up sides at Reading Terminal Market and use the full kitchen for an easier holiday meal.
• Longer visits. Studio suites run roughly 450 to 500 square feet and one-bedroom suites roughly 850 to 900, with a walk-in closet, work desk and full kitchen in every suite.
