GiantSky launches website and blog for The Independent Hotel Philadelphia - a boutique center city hotel at www.theindependenthotel.com

Posted on Friday, June 27th, 2008

GiantSky is honored to launch the website for The Independent Hotel Philadelphia at www.theindependenthotel.com.

The Independent is a 24-room boutique hotel located in a fully restored Georgian-Revival building located at 1234 Locust Street in the vibrant Midtown Village area of Center City, Philadelphia. Now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, The Independent received an extensive renovation before opening its doors to discerning tourists and business travelers in June 2008.

GiantSky was selected by the Hersha Group to build a unique web presence that would create a high end and comfortable feel for its guests and the public.  We combined moulin and French cirque styles to develop a full flash website combined with a hotel blog to bring the Independent Hotel website website to life.  Over time, cute and quirky animations will decorate the site subtly, and give the visitors a feel of the comfort and ambiance the hotel has to offer.  GiantSky also presented the opportunity of a 30 foot mural to local artists to bring a dramatic lightwell in the hotel to life.  After carefully choosing amongst a fine selection of Philadelphia muralists, we selected Kim Senior (www.kimsenior.com) to bring her creative touch to the unique architecture.  The Independent mural was created.

GiantSky has created a blog for The Independent Hotel Philadelphia at www.theindependenthotel.com/philadelphia.  This blog provides the hotel with an invaluable tool to bring the best of local Philadelphia to its guests, and the public.  The Independent Hotel Blog also provides resources for tourists and guests to seek theatre shows or to plan their tours.
