Welcome to our new blog spot! The very first thing we
wanted to post is the recognition of our 10 year anniversary!
The property on which the hotel stands was built in 1893 as one of the original row homes of Philadelphia. When Temple University came into existence, it was adopted by students and became one of the first fraternity houses on campus. Nearly 100 years later, Temple University Police took control of the “fraternized” building and made the property their central hub. In 2000, Teres Holdings LLC took over all of Liacouras Walk, but did not open The Conwell Inn until September 7th of 2001.
So here we stand today, a 22 room boutique hotel, in the middle of historic Temple University’s main campus. Since the hotel has been open, we have made 59,553 reservations. Our clientele ranges from a menagerie of Philadelphia tourists from all over the world to Temple University parents, professors, interviewees, and even Temple University Hospital and Shriner’s Hospital patients. Our exceptional front desk agents are more than accommodating for all of our guests and are also very knowledgeable of Temple University and the Philadelphia area. Because of this, we often make lasting relationships with our guests as they continue to stay with us anytime they are in the area. The Conwell Inn’s mission is to provide exceptional hospitality services and unique lodging products to our valued guests. We offer a 100% guest satisfaction guarantee which we carry out through our commitment to our core values:
Integrity: We will maintain the highest standard of conduct in all our actions.
Teamwork: We will work together in a coordinated effort to achieve our goals.
Individual Worth: We recognize and respect our individual team members and their contributions.
Consistent Standard of Excellence: We will consistently provide our guests with a superior quality product and make a conscious daily effort to be better than our competition.
Personalized Guest Service: We will meet the specific need of each guest with a professional, friendly, prompt, courteous, and enthusiastic attitude from all staff at all times.
Frequently guests say that the Conwell Inn is their home away from home, especially for the parents coming to visit their children who attend Temple University. They are often comforted by the quality service we provide and are put at ease during a stressful transition in their lives. Not only have we worked hard for this result over the past ten years, but we strive to go above and beyond what we have already accomplished throughout the next ten years. The next time you look into visiting Philadelphia or beautiful Temple University, remember that The Conwell Inn will be your home away from home.
Love,
The Conwell Inn
