Philadelphia, PA - The city where George and Martha Washington did the minuet, where “American Bandstand” was born and—much more to the point—where Questlove DJs to packed floors has long gotten up to the get-down.
Philly’s dance scene includes dedicated nightclubs, bars that clear out tables to make dance floor space and laidback lounges that are a mix of the two. It’s also the place where visitors can make the dance party keep going into the next day, thanks to the popular Visit Philly Overnight Hotel Package that’s packed with perks, including free hotel parking.
