"The outlook for Philadelphia's hotel industry in 2022 is “very promising” as the sector works to regain ground during the third year of the Covid-19 pandemic, Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia at Comcast Center General Manager Cornelia Samara said during the Philadelphia Business Journal's recent Economic Forecast event."
"staffing shortages caused delays in the reopening of the hotel's esteemed 59th-floor restaurant Jean-Georges Philadelphia, though the eatery is now slated to be back in action "very soon," Samara said."
"But as Four Seasons Philadelphia looks back at 2020 business and finalizes 2021 figures, it’s noticing a much younger demographic checking into its rooms. About 30% of guests at the hotel are millennials, Samara said. The bulk of that business stems from leisure travelers coming to the city for its entertainment, dining and arts scene."
"The majority of guests, about 60%, come to stay from outside of Greater Philadelphia such as from New York and Washington, D.C. As the property looks to continue attracting more visitors in 2022, Samara stressed the importance of crime being addressed in Philadelphia to create a safe environment for tourists as the industry aims to rebound."
