I chose this hotel based on the location. I'm not from the city but knew Rittenhouse square was the place we wanted to be. My sister and I had an overnight get-a-way for her birthday and we wanted to have some luxury, valet parking, and be able to walk safely to just about anything we wanted. The hotel completely lived... more

Recently I stayed at the Rittenhouse just for 2 nights. I my self am not a luxury traveler, I brought my two teenaged nephews with me just to see Philadelphia. When I go to hotels I do not like to spend a lot of money but for this all of the money was worth it. If you are a cheap... more

It always helps the romantic aura of a hotel to be across from the park where I began my art career: The Rittenhouse Park Open Air Art Exhibit was one of the most memorable events of my life. I always loved Philadelphia for its small town feel while being oneof the largest cities in the country. The Rittenhouse Hotel, built... more

The Rittenhouse is located in Rittenhouse Square nearby to Philadelphia's best shopping area, Walnut Street (upscale). There is plenty within walking distance and the area itself is safe to walk around in. The park out front is a pleasant retreat from the city feel. Smith and Wollensky is a great steakhouse. The rooms were OK, but overpriced if the room... more

I stayed at the Rittenhouse from Sept. 3 through Sept. 6. It was a wonderful experience from check-in to check-out. The front desk was friendly and accomodating, and if there was a line, they apologized for the wait. The bellman who took me to my room was very helpful, showed me how to work the thermostat, and offered to get... more

Have stayed here many times over the years, and it is always fantastic. The rooms are extremely comfortable and well appointed, as you would expect from a 5 star hotel. And the staff always goes out of its way to do whatever they can to make my stay perfect in every way. more

We have stayed at several hotels in Philadelphia over the years and enjoyed most of them. Since we were able to get a very nice package at this hotel, we thought it would be nice to try another different hotel. We knew from previous reviews that the hotel could come across as dated which is why we had avoided the... more

I do not have enough nice things to say about my recent stay at the Rittenhouse Hotel with my daughter. I made reservations about a month in advance and took advantage of the Rittenhouse Relief package that included a $100 restaurant credit. When reserving I explained that this stay was a special treat in advance of my daughter's departure for... more

We were very impressed with the quality of service at this hotel from the minute we arrived with our car until we checked out. All the staff were welcoming and helpful. We even were given a glass of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries after check-in! We were expecting a typical big city small hotel room but this room was huge.... more
