Rooms<\/p>\n

Whether staying a few nights or several months, Archway\u2019s 11 one- and two-bedroom suites make it easy to feel at home in Fishtown. Co-owner and designer Katherine Lundberg envisioned each space with its own distinct feel\u2014individual art, textiles, design books, and live plants\u2014but with a throughline of Scandinavian-inspired custom furniture and neutral tones punctuated by pops of bold color, from pieces like deep orange velvet chairs and marigold light fixtures.<\/p>\n

Also standard: oversized windows that flood the spaces with natural light, and kitchens equipped with induction stovetops, cookware, dishwashers, and Nespresso coffee makers. Bedrooms are outfitted with Wink mattresses and luxe Frette linens, and marble bathrooms are stocked with Aesop products and Dyson hair dryers. I especially loved the small thoughtful touches, including a Marshall speaker paired with a curated Archway Spotify playlist, and a Theragun for soothing sore muscles after a workout or a day spent trekking the city. There\u2019s also secure luggage storage for unencumbered exploring before check-in or after checkout.<\/p>\n

Food and drink<\/p>\n

Although Archway doesn\u2019t have its own restaurant on-site, the property is located in the epicenter of Philadelphia\u2019s buzziest dining corridor, with dozens of caf\u00e9s, wine bars, and lauded restaurants just steps away. A stay here also gives you a foot in the door at two nearby sister restaurants, Suraya<\/a> and Kalaya<\/a>\u2014with advance notice, the Archway team can help secure otherwise elusive dinner reservations.<\/p>\n

A few blocks away, Kalaya, which nabbed a James Beard Award for Outstanding Restaurant in 2026, centers on chef Nok Suntaranon\u2019s epic southern Thai cooking. Order abundantly, but don\u2019t miss delicate bird-shaped dumplings that are as delightful as they are delicious. And located just across the street from Archway, Suraya is a polished all-day caf\u00e9 and Lebanese restaurant. It\u2019s convenient enough to stop by in the morning for a latte and pistachio-rose cruller, and to return later for dinner in the serene back garden.<\/p>\n

What to do nearby<\/p>\n

Archway is set on Frankford Avenue, a main thoroughfare that cuts through Fishtown, a thriving neighborhood situated northeast of Center City along the Delaware River. A short stroll down the street will take you past vintage shops, art galleries, caf\u00e9s, indie boutiques, music venues, and a density of excellent bars and restaurants.<\/p>\n
