About Us

Nestled in the heart of Philadelphia’s vibrant University City, our newly renovated luxury homes are more than just places to stay; they’re thoughtfully designed living experiences. As a husband-and-wife team passionate about architecture and community, we have been developing and rehabbing homes since 2015. When the opportunity arose in 2020 to transform this property into vacation rentals, we knew it was the perfect way to bring our vision to life.

Our brand name, Cozotel, reflects our mission perfectly. It’s a cozy place to stay, an inviting home away from home. We believe every guest deserves comfort, warmth, and a personal touch during their travels, and that’s exactly what we create in each home.

We love University City, not just for its prestigious institutions like the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University, but for its up-and-coming energy, rich cultural diversity, and lively calendar of neighborhood events. The area’s tree-lined streets, eclectic dining scene, and welcoming vibe make it a truly special place to call home, even if only for a short stay.

Our properties reflect this spirit, combining modern sophistication with historic charm through sleek interiors, high-end amenities, and inviting outdoor spaces like a spacious backyard and private decks designed for relaxation or entertaining.

Whether you’re here to explore the neighborhood’s green spaces, enjoy its vibrant cafes and nightlife, or venture just minutes to Center City’s iconic attractions, our homes offer the perfect blend of comfort, style, and location. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing the unique magic of University City.
