Historic building in Philly's Old City neighborhood reopens as boutique hotel

Philadelphia's newest boutique accommodation, The Gas Lamp Hotel, has officially opened its doors, offering historic charm with modern luxury. The hotel, situated in the city's Old City neighborhood, was conceptualized and built by a team of five area investors, including Wendell Holland, a Philadelphia-based furniture designer and founder of Beve Unlimited. Holland is also known as the season 36 winner of "Survivor" and the newly appointed designer on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," which is set to air on ABC in 2025.

The boutique hotel aspires to bring a new approach to overnight stays by combining a virtual concierge service with all the amenities travelers expect from a high-end hotel. Get top local stories in Philly delivered to you every morning. Sign up for NBC Philadelphia's News Headlines.
