The Gables Bed & Breakfast Philadelphia

The Gables is nestled in the middle of Philadelphia in a section known as University City. This is a residential community developed around the turn of the last century. It boasts an eclectic grouping of Victorian homes and Edwardian townhouses.

The University of Pennsylvania, The University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, and Drexel University are all nearby as are the University Hospital, Children’s Hospital, Presbyterian Hospital, Scheie Eye Institute and the Civic Center.

Center City Philadelphia is only minutes away by easy public transportation that stops right in front of the house. Philadelphia’s Convention Center, downtown shopping, museums and historic sites can all be reached in less than 15 minutes.
