Fodor's Expert Review Courtyard Philadelphia South at The Navy Yard

1001 Intrepid Ave., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 19112, USA

A welcome alternative to cookie-cutter accommodations down by Philadelphia International Airport, this LEED-certified Courtyard takes up residence in the Navy Yard, a 1,200-acre business campus in deep South Philly that is home to companies like GlaxoSmithKline and Urban Outfitters. Clean and modern with a mild Jetsons vibe, both the lobby lounge and guest rooms are appointed with stylish furniture and fabrics; bathrooms feature roomy glass-enclosed shower stalls. An on-site bistro, a Starbucks location, and free Wi-Fi round out the standard features. In addition to air travelers, the hotel is particularly popular with sports fan, as it's located close to Philly's baseball, basketball, football, and hockey stadiums.
