We first stayed at the Rittenhouse last summer. We stayed here again in March and we will certainly be staying here again. On our first trip we had a few incidences that left us somewhat disappointed in the property. Once we arrived home, we received an email survey. I generally ignore those because it seems most often you give feedback... More

I so much want to make the Rittenhouse our “Go To” place in Philly but this particular trip gave me pause. Our first visit (6 months ago) did require a room change after the 1st night. This was handled well and the remainder of our stay was excellent. This trip, we upgraded our room choice. We booked for 4 nights.... More

My husband and I went to Philly to see the Van Gogh Up Close exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in late April. What a lovely hotel in a wonderful location! We requested a quiet room with a view of Rittenhouse Square and got exactly what we asked for. We were a little tired after our 3+ hour drive... More

My husband and I were driving down from Upstate New York at the last minute and hurriedly chose The Rittenhouse over the Paloma. It was our first proper visit to Philadelphia (unless you count passing through on a train) and as we pulled into the driveway at The Rittenhouse, we both sighed with relief. The Rittenhouse is all class -... More

After returning home from a one night getaway in this hotel (to visit the fantastic Van Gogh Up Close exhibition in the Art Museum) I am now reevaluating hotel rates in general - what is it exactly we are paying for when we are booking hotel accommodations: the room/suite itself, the service, the location, the view?

We stayed here one night (sat) in a king deluxe room for a weekend birthday trip for my husband. Clean, quiet, friendly, beautiful, luxurious bathroom, roomy, great location (shopping, food and beautiful park steps away), comfortable bed, excellent view of park and city, champagne and cookies upon arrival, complimentary chocolates - it was perfect.
