My husband and I spent a week-end in Philly just for fun. We wanted to stay in a luxurious hotel from which we could take long walks and explore, shop, and eat at good restaurants. This was it! The hotel upgraded our room when we told them it was a special week-end for us and it was lovely. Not only... More

I've stayed at some of the best hotels in the World and am now making sure to make the Rittenhouse my go-to in Philly. The customer service, friendliness, positive attitude, genuine conversation, and spotless appearance is there from the moment you pull-in to the second you leave the square. The staff at this hotel obviously takes pride in being apart... More

We have stayed in many luxury hotels and this is one of the best anywhere. Room was large and clean and well decorated, with lovely views of the park. Bed was amazingly comfortable. They thought of every amenity. Service was attentive and location was great. Rates were reasonable. Can't say enough good things about this hotel. Look forward to returning... More

Rittenhouse square is arguably the best area to stay in the city. Of the hotels around the square (others are Kimpton, Sofitel, AKA ), The Rittenhouse is probably the most luxurious. The rooms are very large, decorated in that "old Philadelphia" style. The gym is great and they have a pool. The service can border on stuffy but is usually... More

Thank you for writing a review for Trip Advisor. I apologize if our staff did not explain that the $100 food and beverage gift card could be used for breakfast and lunch in Lacroix, or light meals and beverages in Bar 210, located in restaurant Lacroix.

I just enjoyed a three night weekend at the Rittenhouse. Checkin was quick and very friendly. As it turns out the hotel offers champagne, cookies, and strawberries on weekend afternoons, so my partner and I availed ourselves of these during the check-in process. What a nice touch! We booked through American Express Platinum which included continental breakfast, a $100 food... More

Have been visiting this property for over twenty years due to its excellent location, large rooms, and good gym facilities. Times we have stayed elsewhere (we are in town 10 times a year) usually due to pricing (too high at Rittenhouse and using miles/points or trying to accumulate miles elsewhere). The staff and location remain great. The physical plant is... More

My boyfriend and I usually stay at the AKA in Philadelphia and tried The Rittenhouse for a long holiday weekend. The first room we were assigned featured peeling wallpaper, water damage, and a generally poor feng shui that made the room feel like an over-glorified under-renovated Marriott decorated by Bombay Company. When I went to the front desk and inquired... More
