Loews Philadelphia, formerly a bank called the Philadelphia Savings Fund Society, was built in 1932 by architect George Howe. Reaching 33 stories high, it was the first skyscraper in the country. You can still see the initials PSFS lit up at night on the building. When the bank closed its doors in 1992, the building was left abandoned for the next five years. In 1997, it was purchased by the Loews Corporation. They decided to convert it to a 581 guest room hotel, and have been welcoming families ever since.

In 1976, the PSFS building was designated a National Historic Landmark. The owners kept many of the architectural details of this modern building, including the granite-faced base of the building and the limestone covered tower above, to the interior details, which included Cartier-designed clocks and custom designed furniture. Today many rooms still have magnificent views of the Philadelphia skyline.
