A jingoist, overly simplified history of Jews in America that chooses to glance over much of their oppression

We are planning to visit the Museum of American Jewish History and the next day the Barnes Collection. Are there some hotels you would recommend?

Rita Hirsch | Nov 3, 2018
Paul | Nov 3, 2018

Too much construction near Marrriot. I would stay at one of the hotels closer to Rittenhouse Square or on Broad. There any many choices. You are positioned between the many art museums on both BFK and on Broad, like PAFA, and the American Jewish History museum that way, but with way more additional options for fun and food.
