Boutique Hotel Find: Lokal Hotel Philadelphia

Philly’s Old City neighborhood just got a new design-led boutique hotel that not only resembles the pages of Kinfolk Magazine, but also offers what the owners are calling “invisible service.” Essentially, this means that the hotel anticipates the guest’s needs before they arrive. For us, that meant asking us questions like “light or medium roast” and then ensuring our desired style of coffee magically appeared on arrival. Armed with a key code to the apartment and an impressively curated city concierge that came in the form of a binder, a stay at Lokal Hotel feels more like a visit to your Philadelphian pied-à-terre complete with all your creature comforts, than it does a standard hotel stay.

Jersey Ice Cream Co., the design minds behind Lokal Hotel have carefully crafted a Scandinavian mid-century meets industrial vibe in the six apartment suites. Guests can enjoy the fruits of what must have involved plenty of trips to flea markets and garage sales to hand-pick vintage gems like the leather chairs, rugs and magazine stands thoughtfully placed around the suites. Not forgotten are a host of modern creature comforts like a Sonos sound system, Apple TV, luxurious bed sheets from Parachute, an enormous rain shower complete with locally sourced Duross and Langel products, plus a bar cart with everything you need (including a recipe book!) to host cocktail hour at the apartment. Should you need to cook, a fully stocked pantry should get you on the way to hosting a dinner party with your new local friends following that cocktail hour.

A stay at Lokal Hotel offers guests the warm, collected design focus of a well loved home alongside the inspiration to go out and explore the charms of Philadelphia like a local.
