If you are into shopping, then you are absolutely going to love the King of Prussia Mall. Touted as the biggest shopping mall on the United States east coast, the King of Russia is located about 35 minutes to the northwest of Philadelphia, and is a popular shopping venue for both locals and out-of-state visitors alike.
Besides being big, what distinguishes the King of Prussia from other malls in the area is that it is also expensive. In addition to all the generic labels, you are going to find all sorts of famous and expensive brand names here; such as Armani, Coach, Burberry, Cartier, Gucci, Louis Vitton, Tiffany, Ralph Lauren, and many others that I have never heard of. The mall’s 400 plus stores are divided into 2 buildings; the Plaza, and the Court, with the Plaza being the larger of the 2. Each building is 2 stories in height, and employs some pretty upscale building materials, reminding you once again that this shopping mall caters primarily to the rich and famous. One can’t help but feel inadequate when walking around this mall, for some of the items available for sale are so expensive I probably won’t be able to afford them in a million years. Never the less, it is still fun to admire all the high price goods and fantasize about what life could be like if you ever win the lottery (or inherits a large sum of money from some long lost rich uncle).
If you are hungry from all that shopping, fear not, the King of Prussia mall has got you covered, with everything from simple fast food to upscale gourmet dining! There are over 40 restaurants and dining outlets in the mall itself, and if you include all the restaurants surrounding the mall, the number can easily top a hundred. Here you will find some of the best restaurants the city of Philadelphia has to offer, including Morton’s Steak House, and Ruth Chris. If you enjoy your trip so much you don’t want to leave, you can stay in any of 10 hotels nearby; from budget Motel 6 to upscale Crowne Plaza.
With the vast number of shops, dining, and lodging options available at the King of Prussia Mall, it is no wonder that this place attracts a vast number of visitors every year, and is a popular weekend destination for local Philadelphians. This is not the place to come if you are budget conscious or thrifty, but if you are filthy rich and looking for that expensive gift to impress your woman (or man), then this is the place for you.
