Concierge
"The 98-room Rittenhouse leads the deluxe pack with extra-large rooms... vigilant service, and tasteful, if slightly tired, furnishings."
Fodor's

DK Eyewitness
"This top-of-the-line luxury hotel is one of the city’s finest and boasts two award-winning restaurants, the Lacroix and the Smith & Wollensky steakhouse."
Star Service

Gayot
"What this property lacks in overall size, it makes up for tenfold in charm and elegance, as well as in its boast of offering the largest hotel guest rooms in the city."
BlackBook
"While ultra modern fixtures, dim lighting and a bar full of hipsters can make for a fun hotel experience, there's a lot to be said for the hostel that anticipates its guests needs."

"Great for large groups who want to stick together.... My favorite part of the complex is the indoor pool, which overlooks the river and a dock full of old seafaring vessels." Full review

Art Deco-themed rooms offer stupendous views of the riverfront or city, but traffic noise does percolate up, so choose a river-view room if quiet is important to you.

"There are "no bad views from any room" at this "top-shelf" hotel overlooking the Delaware River and Penn's Landing, but some gripe it's "a little far from the action"."
Star Service
"Located just off Race Street, this remains the only waterfront hotel in the area, a foreboding 22-story limestone tower that rises from the shore like a miniature Empire State Building. " Full review
