Sheraton Philadelphia University City Hotel, situated within the city’s academic and cultural landscape, announces the start of a $60+ million renovation slated for completion in 2025.

Designed by Gensler, the hotel’s renovation will provide a modern ambiance that captures a timeless, sophisticated spirit. Guest rooms will be revitalized with new textiles, accents, and state-of-the-art upgrades, while the hotel’s public spaces—including the lobby, Porte cochere, corridors, and Club Lounge—will undergo a complete transformation. Additional enhancements include a remodeled 24/7 fitness center and a new outdoor deck for lounging, exercise, games, and events. Dining will be elevated by the &More Café, a signature Sheraton offering that serves morning and evening delights for travelers and locals alike.

The hotel’s campus proximity will be felt throughout the design elements and aesthetics, a blend of traditional and contemporary styles. The lobby will be transformed into an inviting library with communal seating, a nod to the hotel’s storied past and promising future. New resources include full-service meeting pods with A/V capability. Renovated guest rooms will feature top-to-bottom refinements, complete with contemporary furniture and the amenities desired by today’s travelers. A multiuse outdoor terrace will serve as a vibrant hub for curated pop-up events, outdoor fitness activities, and leisurely relaxation.

The renovation, funded by the University, represents an investment in the local fabric of West Philadelphia, supporting the area’s tourism and hospitality industry and enhancing an essential amenity for the many guests who visit Penn’s campus, the surrounding area, and the city at large.
