Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia at Comcast Center: Forbes 5-Star Norman Foster skyscraper palace on floors 48-60 with Jean-Georges and 57th-floor infinity pool

Perched on floors 48 through 60 atop the monumental 60-story Comcast Technology Center (the tallest skyscraper in Pennsylvania) in Center City Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States (just steps from Rittenhouse Square, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Barnes Foundation), Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia at Comcast Center opened as an architectural wonder (holding prestigious Forbes Five-Star honors). Master-designed by world-renowned architect Lord Norman Foster with glass elevators shooting 60 stories in 45 seconds, the 219-room luxury palace features a soaring three-story glass sky lobby. Featuring the Michelin-caliber sky restaurant Jean-Georges Philadelphia by Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Vernick Fish by James Beard Award-winner Greg Vernick, an extraordinary 57th-floor indoor heated infinity swimming pool with 30,000 gallons of water framing the horizon, and the 57th-floor The Spa at Four Seasons with 700 pounds of healing crystal walls, this property is Philadelphia’s ultimate luxury skyscraper palace.

Arrival introduces travelers to unvarnished Norman Foster high-tech architectural grandeur: personal hosts greet guests beneath the glass canopy on Arch Street before boarding high-speed glass elevators that blast up the exterior of the tower to the 60th-floor sky lobby with mirrored ceilings by Jenny Holzer, floor-to-ceiling glass, and chilled Pennsylvania sparkling cider. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke Philadelphia cultural, art, and culinary pursuits: walking directly onto the tree-lined cafes of Rittenhouse Square (5 minutes on foot), exploring the world-famous Impressionist collections at the Barnes Foundation and Philadelphia Museum of Art (10 minutes on foot), visiting historic Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell (10 minutes away), swimming in the 57th-floor indoor heated infinity pool framing the horizon, indulging in crystal and botanical therapies at the sky spa, sipping craft cocktails at JG SkyHigh on floor 60, and reserving dinner at Jean-Georges Philadelphia.

Palace living balances vibrant urban business with serene sky-high wellness: the 57th-floor spa features private treatment suites, crystal therapy walls, steam rooms, saunas, the 57th-floor infinity pool, and therapies utilizing organic botanicals and therapeutic salts. Dining is an extraordinary dual-celebrity culinary summit: multi-course gastronomy at Jean-Georges Philadelphia on floor 59 (featuring egg toast with caviar, prime dry-aged meats, and French Grand Crus), modern seafood brasserie dining at Vernick Fish on the ground level, cocktails at JG SkyHigh, and coffee at Vernick Coffee Bar.

Accommodations comprise 219 rooms and luxury executive suites styled by Norman Foster in clean blond oak, woven platinum textiles, and floor-to-ceiling glass ranging from 44 to 200 square metres. Each residence features sweeping views of the Philadelphia skyline or Delaware River, plush king beds with custom linens, and marble bathrooms with deep soaking bathtubs, embedded TV mirrors, and custom amenities.
