Stratus Lounge

I had the privilege of photographing a wedding at the Stratus Lounge in Hotel Monaco, Philadelphia, and it was truly a unique and extraordinary experience. The open bar format, absence of arranged seating, and stunning night-time cityscapes created a modern and swanky vibe that guests couldn't stop raving about. The food was amazing, and the Hotel Monaco staff made it easy for vendors to work there. I couldn't be happier with my experience, and I hope to return in the future. Highly recommended!

I loved the atmosphere of the place. I'm going to come back when the weather gets a little warmer since the outside is absolutely beautiful. The music is very good, the bartenders are very attentive and very entertaining. I love the fact that the bartenders were very fast. My only recommendation is to please improve your margaritas.

This place is amazing. This is my go to spot for an evening out. The atmosphere is upscale(dress to impress),cocktails are deliciously unique, and music is a great mix. Price is to be expected for what your getting in the city. The staff is nothing short of excellent; especially the manager Eric who is so accommodating. He goes above and beyond for your patrons and making sure the experience is phenomenal. I love the vibe here I can not say enough great things! Everyone who works here from security to the bartenders is so friendly. Definitely venture here if you want a night out with a professional/mature crowd.

This bar is on the top of hotel Monaco just next to the Independence hall. A little bit dark here. This is a rooftops bar so you can see the sky of course but you can’t enjoy good view from this bar because a little tall wall. If you want to see a view of the historical district, I don’t recommend you to visit. But if you want to enjoy good drink and atmosphere, you should grab drinks here!! King staffs and various liquor make you excited!!
