While we continue to wait for the apartment building’s return—it won't be officially finished for another year or so—it’s worth remembering what the storied Divine Lorraine lobby once looked like at its peak.
It seems like the Philly skyline changes almost daily, with plenty of cranes rising and towers being topped off. This map may help wrap your head around the mind-boggling amount of construction that's taking place throughout the city.
Due to rain, the sign-lighting ceremony has been pushed back a week. Everyone is invited to the big block party, which will feature live music, drinks, games, and the lighting of the two iconic signs that sit atop the historic hotel.
With the apartments leasing up and scheduled to be move-in ready by the end of the year, construction crews have begun the much anticipated restoration of the Divine Lorraine's grand lobby.
Yesterday you might have caught our private tour of the Divine Lorraine on Curbed Philly’s Facebook page. If you watched, you’ll know that two of the apartments in the historic hotel are now complete.
The construction company working on the project shared a slew of photos with Curbed Philly, revealing nearly finished kitchens and bathrooms on various floors of the 11-story historic building.
The event is back after last year's successful first run. From 3:30 to 8 p.m. the public will be able to tour the grand lobby and snag some sweet Divine Lorraine Hotel merchandise, as well as take in some art from seven local artists.
The historic Divine Lorraine Hotel is on track to open at the end of the year after a $44 million top-to-bottom renovation. Curbed Philly got an exclusive tour of the property's apartments.
Last week while on a tour of the historic hotel we learned that the apartments would be complete by the end of the year. And yesterday, a Craigslist ad was posted advertising a pre-leasing special for 1- and 2-bedroom units.
It's been awhile since we last checked in on progress at the historic Divine Lorraine hotel, so it comes with great excitement to say that the residential units could be ready by the end of this year.
