About us
Originally built in 1907 as Philadelphia's Central YMCA, our hotel is housed in a 10-story Georgian revival-style structure with intriguing historical flair, located in the heart of the city's business district and less than one block from the Pennsylvania Convention Center. The fine detail of the original ornate woodwork adds a dignified ambiance - and the multiple working fireplaces coupled with our 16 foot, floor to ceiling windows create an intriguing juxtaposition that breaks from the typical "meeting space". Courtyard Philadelphia Downtown, a Marriott Hotel, offers just over 9,000 square feet of meeting and ballroom space, perfect for anything from a business meeting to a dream wedding. The Trumbauer Ballroom is 2,352 square feet and boasts a refined setting featuring rich millwork and 20' ceilings as well as a built-in stage. Adjacent to the Trumbauer Ballroom, the Abele Library is an elegant reception room with two fireplaces and floor to ceiling windows overlooking Philadelphia's architecturally striking City Hall.
