Like a dream

The Rittenhouse is the perfect hotel to say the least. The staff especially made my trip the best vacation I have ever had. Everybody was so warm and welcoming. The hotel was extravigent and super clean. The location could not be any better. It is right in front of a beautiful park, which is like a cleaner, smaller central park. It is right in the middle of everything. (Shopping, restaurant, bars, entertainment) I will absolutely be staying at he Rittenouse again very soon!

The concierge recommended a great bar and restaurant: Village Whiskey. A fantastic list of scotch, Irish and American whiskeys. Ask for a flight of your own selection - the bartender was immensely knowledgeable if you want to talk whiskey for a while.

Great hotel

Arrived after midnight after travelling for most of the day. Everyone was very gracious and I was able to get room service (dinner) at 1am. Very grateful I didn't have to make a meal of the snacks.

Wonderful Hotel Experience in Downtown Philly

From the suite-sized room to the fantastic staff service (concierge Brian got us table at R2L at last minute and our meal with our clients was superb!) and room service, it doesn't get any better than this for us. We consequently could throroughly enjoy a rigorous work week in town while feeling pampered at 'home base'. Thank you for pointing us to this fantastic hotel!

fabulous

There are more expensive hotels in the city but none with this level of personal service attention to detail and class. We travel alot and continue(this was not our first time at the Rittenhouse)to be impressed. Lacroix is certainly in the top 5 restaurants in Philly. Staying right on the square simply adds to the charm. You will not be disappointed.

Totally Pampered

We were able to relax in comfort. The room was luxurious and beautiful. I loved looking out over the lovely park. Service was impeccable, staff was polite and attentive. The pool was out of order but the hotel provided usage of another hotel pool and complimentary car to and from so that we could swim during our stay. Would stay there again and recommend to friends.
