Sheraton Philadelphia University City Hotel — Photo by Marriott

Davidson Hotels & Resorts, one of the nation's premier management companies in the lodging industry, is proud to announce its 15th university-oriented property, with the addition of the Sheraton Philadelphia University City Hotel, owned by the University of Pennsylvania, one of the one of the world's leading teaching and research institutions, to its diverse nationwide portfolio.

"Davidson is honored to manage a property owned by an institution as esteemed as Penn," said Steve Margol, chief investment officer of Davidson Hotels & Resorts. "We were selected by the University because of our unrivaled experience managing properties on or near renowned university campuses throughout the country; our innovative approach to developing, renovating, and repositioning hotels; and our proven success of delivering outstanding performance."

Situated in the heart of it all, the Sheraton Philadelphia University City Hotel is located within walking distance of Penn's campus and its medical complex as well as the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). Adding to the convenience of its location, the hotel's proximity to the vibrant West Philadelphia retail area makes it ideal for both the business and leisure traveler. The property features 332 rooms and suites, a newly renovated lobby and venue space with over 10,500 sq. ft. of meeting and event rooms, a 24-hour fitness center, and an outdoor seasonal swimming pool. Adjacent to the pool is The Club Lounge, a relaxing, upscale concierge lounge on the 20th floor with skyline views of the University of Pennsylvania. The hotel also features banquet and catering services and the Sang Kee Noodle House, a Philadelphia favorite with two other popular locations in the city, also provides a convenient dining venue for guests.
