With a premier location within FMC Tower at Cira Centre South, defined by panoramic views, an ultra-luxury amenity floor, and exceptional service, it’s no surprise AKA University City is Philadelphia’s #1 hotel on Trip Advisor for 2020!

Designed by leading lab architect, Gensler, 3151 Market’s design harkens back to Philadelphia’s history of makerspace and craftsmanship, and draws on the city’s affinity for innovation and discovery. From the outside, the facade’s subtle facets and angles create movement as the light and clouds change. Up close, materials reflect Philadelphia’s textile industry, mixing copper, wood, and natural materials to create warmth, character, and a strong sense of place.
