Divine Lorraine Hotel
Divine Lorraine Hotel, Historical hotel in North Philadelphia, United States
The Divine Lorraine Hotel stands at the intersection of Broad Street and Fairmount Avenue, featuring Late Victorian architecture across ten stories with intricate masonry work.
Built between 1892 and 1894 by architect Willis G. Hale, the structure initially served as luxury apartments before transforming into a hotel in 1900.
Under Father Divine's ownership, the establishment marked civil rights progress by becoming the first racially integrated hotel in Philadelphia, welcoming guests of all backgrounds.
The property currently offers one and two-bedroom units with full kitchens, access to an Italian restaurant, and underground entertainment venues including Broad Hall.
The building incorporates central kitchens designed for meal delivery service, eliminating the need for private servants in each residential unit.
