The Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown Hotel is located at 201 N 17th St, Philadelphia, PA 19103 and is a 6 minute walk to the shuttle pick up location at The Logan Hotel.
Traveling In
The nearest airport to our venue is the Philadelphia International Airport.
Please note that there is no airport shuttle available at the Logan Hotel, but there is a SEPTA train route that runs directly from the airport passenger pickup area to Suburban Station which is a 5 minute walk away from the Logan Hotel. Rideshare services are also very accessible in the whole region. We advise against renting a car as Philadelphia is a very walkable city. If you are driving to the wedding, here is a list of parking lots nearby:
We will have a complimentary shuttle service available on our wedding day to transport guests from the Logan Hotel to the College of Physicians and back. The shuttle will depart the Logan Hotel at 5:15 PM and at 5:40 PM. The shuttle pickup area at The Logan is reflected below:
Things to Do in Philadelphia
We love it here in Philadelphia, and while we wish we had time to show it off to all of you, we have a wedding to attend to. Here are some of our favorite spots in the city that we would recommend if you find yourself with some free time this weekend:
Good Eats
Sabrina’s Cafe – This is a lovely sit-down breakfast spot with specialty coffee drinks close to the The Logan Hotel.
JJ Thai – This is a very good, cheap and quick Thai restaurant. Ideal for sit down or takeout.
EMEI – Located in Chinatown, EMEI is a delicious option for Chinese food. We love the dry fried green beans there. It’s hard to go wrong in Chinatown, we’d recommend making a trip that way (it’s a 15 minute walk from the hotel).
Oyster House – Killer seafood and cocktails with fresh oyster shucking at the bar.
1-900-ICE-CREAM – this is a Philly favorite with an always rotating soft serve ice cream menu.
Octopus Falafel Truck – This is a food truck that sells a platter of falafel, chicken, vegetables, noodles, and fruit that changes every day. No menu, no omissions or substitutions, all produce that’s in season. It’s $20 cash and only open from 12-2:30 PM Monday-Friday. Located on the corner of 20th and Ludlow, right across the street from our Welcome Party venue.
Reading Terminal Market – This is a large indoor food market with a variety of stalls and restaurants. Miller’s Twist in this market has some of the best pretzels we have ever had.
For History Buffs and Museum Goers
The Birthplace of America: If it’s your first time in Philadelphia, consider visiting Old City to see Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, the Constitutional Center, Betsy’s Ross’ house, Benjamin Franklin’s grave, and the oldest street in America.
On the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, we recommend checking out “The Thinker” located outside the Rodin Museum, the Franklin Institute, the reflecting pool behind the Barnes Museum, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Of course, we recommend the Mütter Museum located inside of our venue. This museum celebrates medical innovation and marvels in human biology and is truly one of a kind.
