Located in King of Prussia, Pa., just northwest of Philadelphia, the upscale King of Prussia Mall is the largest shopping mall along the East Coast. It is home to hundreds of shops and eight anchor stores in two separate buildings. Because it is a tourist attraction in its own right, out-of-town shoppers can find several hotels ranging from moderate to expensive around the mall complex.
This AAA three-diamond hotel is the closest accommodation to the mall and is located directly across from The Plaza building. All of its 80 guest rooms feature a mini-refrigerator, in-room coffee, 37-inch flat-screen television, desk space and either a sofa-bed or an oversize chair. Rates are on the expensive side but include free breakfast, wired/wireless internet service and access to the Bally Total Fitness Center next to the property.
