Timeless Philadelphia Spirit
A Storied Landmark Where History Meets Modern
The Notary Hotel’s story is one of transformation and timeless significance. This grand building was constructed in 1926 and designed in the Classical Revival style by the prolific architect Philip H. Johnson—best known for designing Philadelphia’s original Convention Hall. For decades, the City Hall Annex served as a civic hub, where countless lives intersected at moments of great importance. It was here that a notary's stamp marked the beginning of marriages, the formation of businesses, and the launching of lifelong journeys. The building was a silent witness to history in motion—filled with purpose and hope. Today, The Notary Hotel carries that legacy forward. While the service has evolved, the spirit remains unchanged: we are here to honor new beginnings, celebrate memorable milestones, and create meaningful experiences that endure. This is more than a hotel—it’s a place where moments become memories, right in the heart of historic Philadelphia.
