The verdict

The Westin has held its AAA Four Diamond longer than any hotel in the city. It's been on the list since 2000, at Liberty Place, with Lea Restaurant & Bar and the WestinWORKOUT studio — and Marriott puts PHL "approximately 6.0 Miles" away, the shortest airport figure of our seven.

That's Marriott's number, and ours for the ship is longer — about 10.3 road miles and 23 minutes to the terminal, by our routing.

Valet is $70 a day, more for oversized vehicles. Marriott lists no pool and doesn't say breakfast is included.

It suits a late flight and a dependable Four Diamond. Pre-book the morning car.

Book it if

  • A Four Diamond AAA has kept on its list since 2000
  • Flying in late — PHL is about 6 miles, per Marriott
  • A dog up to 50 lb, for a $100 fee

Look elsewhere if

  • You want a pool; Marriott's page lists the WestinWORKOUT studio and no pool.
  • You want breakfast in the rate, which Marriott doesn't promise.
  • You're driving something oversized, which costs more than the $70 valet.
