Integral to Industry

Set in the heart of Philadelphia’s entrepreneurship and innovation district, The Study at University City offers an unmatched location for business, research, and discovery. Just blocks from William H. Gray III 30th Street Station and across the Schuylkill River from Center City, the hotel is convenient to—and immersed in—the energy of the University City Science Center, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and the fast-growing Schuylkill Yards campus.
