Just northwest of Philadelphia, King of Prussia is a small town with big attractions. The King of Prussia Mall is the third-largest in the United States, with 450 stores including Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s and Neiman Marcus – there’s even an indoor sky-diving center. The town is also right next door to the Valley Forge Casino and the Valley Forge National Historic Park, where George Washington and his troops camped in the snow during the harsh winter of 1777-78. Fortunately, accommodations have significantly improved over the past 300 years. Today, Washington’s army would sleep easy in any of these affordable but luxury hotels in King of Prussia – bookable via Culture Trip.
