Lodging

Overnight visitors may choose from many nearby places to stay on campus, in University City, in Center City (downtown), or near the airport.

Hotels closest to the Lab include The Inn at Penn, Penn Tower Hotel, and Sheraton University City, all moderately expensive. The Divine Tracy Hotel offers inexpensive rooms but imposes some strict regulations on its guests. These hotels are within three blocks of the Lab. Further away, Center City offers many more options; consult listings provided by the HotelGuide Directory, One Big Campus, Penn, or the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau. And finally, there are many hotels near the airport, about ten miles away.

You can also find bed-and-breakfast lodging. Consult listings from Bead & Breakfast Connections of Philadelphia, Penn, or the University City District.

For information on temporary housing or apartment hunting, consult the University's Office of Off-Campus Living.
