The biggest and tallest hotel in Texas is the Sheraton Dallas Hotel with 1,840 rooms. The complex has 3 towers Center tower 42 stories (550 ft), South tower 31 stories (448 ft) and the North tower 28 stories (353 ft).
The Loews Philadelphia Hotel, also known as the Philadelphia Saving Fund Society Building or PSFS Building, is a skyscraper in Center City, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. A National Historic Landmark, the Loews Philadelphia was the first International style skyscraper built in the United States. The building was built for the Philadelphia Saving Fund Society in 1932 and was designed by architects William Lescaze and George Howe. The skyscraper's design was a departure from traditional bank and Philadelphia architecture, lacking features such as domes and ornamentation. Combining Lescaze's experience with European modernism, Howe's Beaux-Arts background and Philadelphia Saving Society President James M. Wilcox's desire for a forward thinking, tall building the skyscraper incorporated the main characteristics of International style architecture.
Called the United States' first modern skyscraper, and one of the most important skyscrapers built in the country in the first half of the 20th century
The largest hotel in the state, and then some, the thrice-incarnated Philadelphia Marriott is high volume -- and surprisingly high service. Marriott opened the biggest hotel in Pennsylvania in January 1995, linked by an elevated covered walkway to the Reading Terminal Shed of the Convention Center. In 1999, Marriott converted the historic 1926 City Hall Annex across 13th Street at Filbert into a 500-room Courtyard by Marriott, the largest in the Courtyard division, and, in 2004, Courtyard gained neighbor Residence Inn, which added 269 suites to the stew. So all together, you have your choice of more than 2,100 rooms, three fitness centers, and 10 restaurants and lounges -- all linked with one another and with the Convention Center. Guests at any of the locations would be smart to join Marriott's rewards program, which offers automatic discounts to members.
Pictures of the hotel complex (and 360-degree views of the city from it):
Dallas has much better-looking hotel buildings than that Sheraton complex (used to be Adam's Mark a few years ago) with its blank side walls. Some even in downtown itself, and others not too far from downtown.
Kidphilly, there are much better pics online of the PSFS building than that one.
BTW, I was just there last week and stayed in that hotel for two days. Impeccable service, though rooms could use some updating of style (bed though was perfect!)
