Just in time for the Fourth of July, Philly's Independent Hotel opened its doors on Thursday -- which has nothing to do with Independence Day, really, but the timing is good.

The 24-room boutique property -- which used to be the Inn at Locust -- is located in Midtown Village and features a three-story mural of Independence Hall done by a local artist.

Philly's uwishunu blog has a few more details:

Guest rooms feature hardwood floors with New Zealand Wool area rugs, custom window treatments, Robert Allen custom bedding and Serta Presidential mattresses. Each room include=s a variety of unique features such as fireplaces, exposed brick walls, cathedral ceilings, French windows or loft bedrooms.

The hotel is also serving free breakfasts every morning and hosting a free wine and cheese happy hour once a week (how Kimpton-like!)

We found out via the Independent's very own blog that they're really getting into the Independence Day spirit: for July 4th weekend, the hotel is offering a special rate of $139 per night (!); reservations can be made here.

I went to the opening of this hotel next week. I am really excited about it! It's in a fun neighborhood with lots of good food. There is a beautiful mural/2-floor painting of Independence Hall that is a focal point. And it feels friendly, not uber-cool and over-designed.
