This is a wonderful boutique hotel next to the Penn campus. It’s an independent hotel (no brand from Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, etc.) with a very high level of service and cleanliness. I have stayed at the Sheraton and Hilton on campus and this far surpasses them in the overall guest experience. Very highly recommended if you are in University City in Philadelphia.

The Study is beautiful and the staff are amazing! This hotel is less than five minutes walk to my daughter’s dorm at Drexel University. We didn’t rent a car so Drexel staff helped us move by using one of their golf carts. Drexel staff drove the golf cart of course. It was very convenient for us to stay here. The bus stop and the metro are walking distance as well if you want to explore Philly.
