Frommer's "Chic and modern, this all-suites space is a rare, independent find, just a half a block from Rittenhouse Square. Large, comfortably furnished...suites tend to book far in advance." Full review

"Belying the beaux arts facade, this extended-stay's "sleek", "minimalist" environs appeal to business travelers and vacationers who groove on "roomy", "apartment-style" suites."

Gayot "AKA Rittenhouse Square satisfies the needs of Philadelphia business and leisure travelers who are looking for upscale accommodations for stays a week or more."
