About The Morris House Hotel

hotel front view The Morris House Hotel, built in 1787, is located in the historic district of Philadelphia known as Society Hill, just two blocks from some of the United States' most important landmarks such as Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell.

Three major hospitals are all within 3 blocks, and the Convention Center is just a ten-minute walk. World class restaurants, the theatre district and the famous South Street with its unique shops, are all a short walk away.

The entire building is non-smoking.
