The Doubletree Philadelphia West is planning a full hotel renovation, tentatively scheduled to start Q3 2023. The renovation will add 3,000-square feet of meeting space and, upon renovation completion, the property will go through a conversion to become an Embassy Suites.

The new Hotel West & Main Conshohocken Philadelphia, Tapestry by Hilton opened in mid-October and is the first new hotel in Conshohocken in 22 years. This 127-room boutique hotel features on-site event space, and two onsite restaurants: 1874 and Hook & Ladder.

The former location of the Washington Hose and Steam Fire Engine Company, No. 1, Hotel West & Main pays homage to the property’s history through design features like original 16-foot-tall painted windows, metal wall panels, wooden finishes and wood floor - all restored. The firemen’s lockers are used as cabinets in the market area, which features locally sourced options. The horn code board is displayed in the main lobby lounge where guests also can see the refurbished firepole in the lobby and on the second floor. The ballroom features a pre-event foyer with floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Our hospitality amenities continue to grow as we’ve welcomed the new Challenger Learning Center in Pottstown, offering a new unique team building for the destination," explains Scott Higgins, VFTCB Director of Sales.

TopGolf King of Prussia is under construction and anticipates an opening in 2023.

Taku Japanese Steakhouse has opened in King of Prussia, offering the finest in steak and seafood prepared by Master Hibachi chefs at tabletop grills.

WORKING TOGETHER

"We are optimistic about the continued return of in-person meetings and events within Valley Forge and Montgomery County," notes Higgins. "The summer and fall season brought an impressive level of future planning activity for both short-term and long-term programs. The events we’re supporting have been different than pre-pandemic, as they are incorporating more experiences into their agendas, such as team building activities allowing groups to give back to the community."

"We see this trend continuing throughout the remainder of 2022 and into the new year," he continues. "With the increase in future activity... we are encouraging our clients to start planning sooner than later to find the dates they prefer."

The Heart of Conshohocken’s 'new' Town Center

Located in the historic Washington Fire Company, this 6-story hotel features 127 guest rooms, the Hook and Ladder Sky Bar & Kitchen, 1874 Social Lobby Bar and over 5,000 square feet of event space.
