Hotel/Travel Information

Philadelphia is a large city packed with history. To get the most out of your trip to Philadelphia, you want to stay in accommodation with a prime central location. You want a base that’s not only comfortable but one which makes it easy for getting around. Those are the qualities boasted by our host hotel, the Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown.

Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown

The Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown is more than just the host of our Philadelphia Complete Botox Training, Dermal Filler, and Facial Aesthetics workshops. It is a three-star hotel with all the facilities you could need for a productive, comfortable stay. The property’s main highlight, its downtown location, also means you are within minutes of some of the city’s most revered attractions.

To get a better idea about the hotel, here’s a quick rundown of the Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown’s main features:

How to Get Here

Thanks to its location right in the heart of Philadelphia, you won’t struggle to find or reach the Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown. It’s also less than ten miles from Philadelphia International Airport, which means you can get out of the airport and at the hotel within 20 minutes by car.

From Philadelphia International Airport

If you rent a car from Philadelphia International Airport, here’s how to get to the hotel without any issue – other than potential traffic!

• Exit the airport and drive onto Interstate 95 South to Exit 22
• Continue the journey on Highway 676 West, going until you reach the Broad Street Exit
• Get onto 15th street and continue for half a block until you reach Spring Street
• On Spring Street, turn right and continue for one block, taking a right turn onto 16th Street
• Travel a further quarter-block, and you will see the Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown on your left

If a rental car is not on the agenda, there are alternative methods for getting to the hotel and around the city. A one-way taxi to the hotel will only set you back $25 approximately. The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA), ranking as one of the top ten in the nation’s best, also supplies a train service that takes you directly from the airport to the city center. You are then within comfortable walking distance of the hotel.

Getting around Philadelphia

When the time comes to travel in and around Philadelphia, taxis are available 24 hours a day, but cycling is another option for you. Philadelphia is among the best places to ride a bike because it is so bike-friendly. There are more than 440 miles of bike-only lanes, and you can easily rent bikes at 140 stations across the city. Simply jump off the SEPTA train and hire a bike to get you where you need to go. Tickets for a SEPTA day pass cost around $2.50. The subway trains will operate on a 24-hour basis while the other modes of transport will vary slightly with, on average, a 15-minute wait for the next bus, train, or trolley to arrive at their stop.

What to Do in Philadelphia

Philadelphia is packed with things to do and see, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy. For history buffs, there’s the Liberty Bell. For movie buffs, there’s the “Rocky Steps.” For those that want to sample local delights, look no further than Philly cheesesteaks. 

Outdoor Activities and Attractions in Philadelphia

The museums might grab the headlines, but Philadelphia is also home to numerous parks and other outdoor spots. Here are our recommendations:

• Philadelphia Zoo: Known as the United States’ first true zoo, the charming Philly Zoo is home to almost 1,300 animals, exciting exhibits, and much more to entice visitors of all ages.
• Spruce Street Harbor Park: Positioned on the Delaware River Waterfront, this park exudes coolness. It features everything from eye-catching floating gardens to colorful hammocks.
• Schuylkill River Trail: While it’s technically not just Philadelphia that benefits from this attraction, the Schuylkill River Trail – a multi-use path that currently extends 30 miles – is worth a mention. Meandering along Schuylkill River, there’s no better trail to go for a walk, jog, or bike ride in Philly.
• LOVE Park: This attraction is famous for hosting one of Philadelphia’s most iconic monuments: the LOVE sculpture by Robert Indiana. Once you’ve got your snap of this artwork, take the time to enjoy this small yet charming park.

Culture and Entertainment in Philadelphia

A haven of history and culture, Philadelphia is the place if you love a museum or two. Yet there are loads of other attractions for those seeking a more exhilarating experience:

• Philadelphia Museum of Art: The exterior area was made famous thanks to Rocky Balboa. Yet after you’ve bust a gut running up the “Rocky Steps,” make sure you take the time to savor the exhibits found in the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
• Independence Hall: There are many historical sites in Philadelphia, but the highlight is arguably Independence Hall. Learn more about the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution as you stand in the room where both documents were signed.
• The Met Philadelphia: A recently renovated opera house, the 3,500-seater Met Philadelphia is the place to catch a live music or comedy show in Philly.
• Reading Terminal Market: Open since 1892, this market is a treat for the senses – particularly your taste buds. You’ll find everything from classic Philly cheesesteaks to traditional Amish cuisine at the Reading Terminal Market.
