a crossroads where
history meets modernity
When you visit the Alloy in King of Prussia, you will be right in the middle of the action and a stones throw away from dining, shopping, entertainment, and plenty of other things to do near Philadelphia. Your hotel room is only one mile away from the largest mall on the east coast with some of the best shopping and entertainment you can experience. Looking for fresh air? Take a trip to Valley Forge National Park or the Elmwood Park Zoo to stretch those legs and take in experiences you can get no where else. Perhaps you’re staying with us for our close proximity to Villanova University? We are just a short 15 minute drive to the acclaimed university that boasts a beautiful campus and exciting D1 Big East sports.
KING OF PRUSSIA MALL
The King of Prussia Mall opened as a very modest retail outdoor shopping center but has recently dethroned the Mall of America as the largest shopping center in the United States. Boasting 425 stores on two floors, there is surely something for everyone when you want to take a quick trip from the hotel. When you are spent from all the exciting shopping and experiences, you can retire back to the hotel for a great meal at Hammer and Fire, and relax in our comfortable hotel rooms.
