YOWIE Founded in 2016 by Shannon Maldonado, YOWIE has evolved from a design/lifestyle shop into a boutique hotel and café. We are closed on Mondays.

Opened in 2023, we were named one of Travel + Leisure’s 100 Best New Hotels in the World. Founded in 2016, YOWIE is a boutique hotel, lifestyle shop and design studio in Philadelphia. We're here to bring you something that lasts longer than a trend: items to live with, cherish, and enjoy. Our shop is open Tuesday - Sunday 10am - 6pm. We ship everywhere in the intercontinental U.S. and offer local pickup.

ICYMI last night, our 3rd annual object show featuring salt & pepper shakers will be on view through Wednesday, May 13th. Swipe to see the best times to catch the show. Thank you to the city for showing UP last night and making our opening a smashing success. Many of the works are for sale so please reach out if you are interested in a piece. Today in the shop, we will also be showcasing a small selection of vintage curated shakers sourced by the YOWIE team for purchase. If you have any good photos or videos from last night please share them for our recap! A million thanks to the 100+ artists who created work for the show and their many friends and family who came to celebrate them and all of the pieces and to Bre Furlong for helping us document the work for the artists and Sato Harris for capturing the event in real time!

Thank you for honoring YOWIE Hotel & Shop in your inaugural Travel Awards. We won in the categories “Winning Destination” and “Best Family-Friendly Vacation for Urbanites”. We’d love to be your home base this Summer during your time in Philadelphia but we just have one note: Jim’s Steaks is just a block away so no need to go south for a cheesesteak! It’s going to be an action packed season and as always some of the best architecture, food, and places to hang in the country. Book your stay at helloyowie.com/hotel/booking
