The Rittenhouse

Situated in a covetable location on Rittenhouse Square, just across the road from one of the city's oldest parks, the Rittenhouse is Philadelphia’s bastion of heritage-breed luxury. Colossal rooms, a modern restaurant and a sanctuary-like spa make it one of the best places to stay in town.
