DK Eyewitness "A luxurious and cozy B&B in a Philadelphia townhouse, La Reserve has elegant rooms with antiques and beautiful lamps."
Rough Guide "Lovely rooms, of which the two cheapest share a bathroom. The welcoming owner dishes up a modest-sized gourmet breakfast and dispenses loads of information."
Gayot "This hotel is known by many names—The Grand Dame of Philadelphia, to mention its most illustrious—and known to all for the elegant charm of its gracious host, W.J. Buchanan."
Frommer's "This elegant little bed and breakfast has been carved out of a pair of four-story 1850s townhouses in the southern reaches of the posh Rittenhouse neighborhood." Full review
