The hotel will be Penn’s first development project west of 41st Street. Homewood Suites will feature about 130 rooms on nine to 10 floors and will cater to patient families of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, as well as professionals who require longer-term stays.
the earlier dp article said the location was chosen because it had a "commercial aesthetic." this article's photo shows that a few more houses were torn down to enhance that aesthetic.
(the article gets the location wrong; it's not being built next to the restaurant school, which is in the next block west)
