Insider tip: Six miles east via Germantown Pike is the historic Chestnut Hill area of Philadelphia, where the pike becomes a tree-lined avenue bordered by boutiques, restaurants, art galleries, and gardens. This neighborhood is one of Philadelphia’s most affluent, with winding streets and a variety of architecturally significant houses—perfect for an afternoon stroll.

The fitness center, with its two elliptical machines, three treadmills, and five bikes, is separate from a weight training room, both accessible daily from early morning to late night. Four miles away in Conshohocken is Gold’s Gym, which offers a discount to Doubletree clients.
