Wm. Mulherin Sons | Philadelphia (USA) | By Lee Fleming

The IDMCO team have a soft for well-considered interiors so it was safe to say we'd have a soft spot for Philadelphia-based restaurant and boutique hotel Wm. Mulherin Sons. Having initially opened the Wm. Mulherin Sons wood-fired Italian restaurant in March 2016 and have recently expanded with the revealing of their four-room hotel which occupies the two floors that sit above the restaurant.

Led by executive chef Chris Painter, Wm. Mulherin Sons team which includes Chef de Cuisine John Taus serves up a seasonally driven menu that's casual but sophisticated, emphasizing the smokiness and char that true wood-fired cooking makes possible. Painter's well-considered cuisine is a preserved nod to the Fishtown icon of the early 20th Century Mulherin whiskey business.

The Wm. Mulherin Sons hotel has been as carefully thought out as its downstairs counterpart with four beautifully designed rooms that have been furnished to complement the buildings rich heritage. The mix of new and old sees king size beds and custom-made furniture sit alongside a selection of handpicked artwork, fixtures, vintage rugs, living plants and cacti.
