1325 Spruce St, Philadelphia, PA 19107

Property Description

This offering presents the rare opportunity to acquire 1325 Spruce St (aka the Thena Hotel), a fully operational, nine-unit boutique hotel / short-term rental building strategically located in the heart of Philadelphia’s Center City. Situated just steps from the Avenue of the Arts, this 4,865 sq ft, four-story masonry building is perfectly positioned to capitalize on Philadelphia’s booming tourism and short-term rental (STR) market. The property has been successfully operated with a staff-less model, catering to a mix of short-term vacationers and longer-term corporate and student tenants. With significant upcoming international events and clear paths to enhance operational revenue, the property represents a premier turnkey investment poised for substantial growth. A new operator can immediately unlock significant upside by implementing targeted operational and marketing enhancements that the current owner has not pursued. The property features rear parking and a large basement for efficient housekeeping/maintenance, steps to the Convention Center, City Hall, Avenue of the Arts, and major employers driving steady leisure and business demand. Strong operating history includes premium 2–8 month corporate/student stays alongside nightly bookings, supported by 4.8-star reviews across platforms. 2026 event catalysts (World Cup, MLB All-Star, Semiquincentennial, PGA, March Madness) offer meaningful upside for a compliant, data-driven operator. Value can be unlocked through refreshed design/branding, professional media and direct-booking strategy, light cosmetic upgrades, revenue optimization (sleep configurations/experiences), and streamlined dynamic pricing and operations.
