The Desmond Hotel, a Doubletree by Hilton, for modern charm
Hotel
Guests receive a warm welcome at the Desmond with a fresh cookie on arrival. Check into your homey room or suite, where the simple, classically styled furniture evokes Malvern’s revolutionary past. The Fork & Bottle restaurant, which occupies a grand banquet space downstairs, somewhat resembles Philadelphia’s Independence Hall, with recessed paneling and silver chandeliers. In keeping with Malvern’s reputation for fine dining, the Fork & Bottle serves fresh regional cuisine such as Maryland crab bisque and grass-fed sirloin steak with madeira sauce.

Make the Sonesta ES your base for exploring all of scenic Chester County, from shopping at King of Prussia Mall to hiking the protected meadows and forests of Valley Forge National Historical Park. The cheery, Scandi-inspired suites have full refrigerators, natural wood cabinets and small dining tables for family meals. You can also hang out downstairs at the Nest, a shared living space with casual bench seating, throw pillows and pedestal stands for drinks.
Courtyard Philadelphia Great Valley/Malvern, for scenic surroundings
Hotel
The Courtyard Philadelphia Great Valley/Malvern provides all you need for a productive and relaxing stay. Rooms and suites feature ample, well-lit workspaces, crisp sheets and cozy throws. Start your day with a Starbucks from the hotel bistro and a run through Valley Creek Park, or a work-out in the ever-open fitness center. At night, wind down by the fire pit, drink in hand, watching the sun set over the wooded hills.
Residence Inn Great Valley/Malvern, for an understated retreat

If you can’t move to Malvern, the next best thing is a stay at Residence Inn. Make yourself at home in an apartment-style suite with a full kitchen, sectional sofa and Paul Mitchell hair products.
