Lokal Hotel

Philadelphia


Lokal is a boutique hotel for the Airbnb generation. There's no front desk for the six self-catering units stacked above a trendy barbershop. Everything is managed remotely with apps and devices, but staff are happy to show up in person at your super-chic design pad should you need them.
