A Philly Hidden Gem: The Arch

The city of Philadelphia continues to gain more popularity throughout the country for its booming businesses, affordability, and amazing food scene… just to name a few reason why people are flocking here. One of the most daunting tasks of traveling to a different city is deciding where to settle down. With so many vibrant neighborhoods to choose from in Philly, it can be hard to choose. Luckily, we’ve come across one of the best kept secrets in city living, The Arch in Logan Square.

Walking through the doors of the building’s early 20th century gothic architecture, become immediately immersed in its rich history and stunning style. Originally built as a grand hotel in 1914, The Arch sits on the corner of 17th and Arch Streets. Since then, it has been renovated into a premier serviced apartment building managed by BridgeStreet Global Hospitality. Serviced apartments offer flexibility and quality with hotel-like amenities, making them a perfect alternative to signing a lease or living in a hotel.

With short and long-term opportunities available, from three days to three years, residents can enjoy the luxuries of hotel living with The Arch’s amenities. These perks include dedicated front desk staff, weekly housekeeping, complimentary fitness center, entertainment media room, access to parking, and much more. The pet-friendly apartments all have airy light-flooded spaces and modern finishes with granite full kitchens, oversized closets, in-unit washer/dryers, and fully furnished options.

Outside The Arch, just steps off the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, is the exceptional convenience to all aspects Philly has to offer. Across from the Comcast building(s), it’s a great living option for those working at the tech powerhouse, as well as hundreds of workplaces in Center City. Along the Parkway are also some of the best arts and culture sites in the city. Spend an afternoon at The Barnes Foundation, Rodin Museum, or the famous Philadelphia Museum of Art. Relax with a massage at Hand & Stone at Logan Square or a glass of wine and a pie at Pizzeria Vetri.

For a great night out, look no further than this neighborhood where entertainment and nightlife are abundant. Enjoy casual fare and large beer lists at nearby City Tap House, Con Murphy, and Tir Na Nog. For more formal affairs, try Urban Farmer at the Logan Hotel with their farm-to-table steakhouse menu featuring local ingredients. Head upstairs to Assembly Rooftop Lounge afterwards for a breathtaking view and nightcap.

No matter what you’re looking to get out of Philly, The Arch provides luxurious comfort and convenient access to the city. To find out more information on the residences, visit their site or contact them at (215) 347-4781.
