Valley Forge Casino Resort

Those looking for a hotel near Philadelphia that offers a well-rounded array of amenities couldn’t do much better than the Valley Forge Casino Resort. True to similar casino hotels in nearby Atlantic City, it offers the full experience: games, live entertainment, restaurants and, staying true to that word “resort” in its name, a pool and full-service spa, where you can reap the benefits of body treatments like bamboo and hot-stone massages, and facials. Rooms are modestly outfitted with all the basics—comfy beds, flat-screen TVs, newly remodeled bathrooms and high-speed internet access—with many offering views of Valley Forge National Park. Those staying here would technically never have to leave the hotel grounds, but retail hounds should take the opportunity to shop at the massive King of Prussia Mall, just a few minutes drive or Uber ride away.
