If you're visiting the City of Brotherly Love, this is one of the most Instagram-worthy spots in Philadelphia. LOVE Park is less than a half-mile from Loews Philadelphia.

Dilworth Park
Located at the foot of Philadelphia’s City Hall, Dilworth Park is one of the liveliest places to take a load off. Tall buildings and bustling streets outline its perimeter, but that doesn't stop wanderers from admiring the street fountains, grabbing a bite at the cafe or simply enjoying some people-watching. As we begin finding more 65-degree days in the forecast, enjoy Dilworth Park with other Philly locals and tourists also looking to cure their cabin fever. You won’t have to go far – it’s also less than a half-mile from the hotel.
