Frommer's "Among Philadelphia's luxury hotels, the Rittenhouse has the fewest and largest rooms and some of the prettiest views." Full review
Concierge "The 98-room Rittenhouse leads the deluxe pack with extra-large rooms... vigilant service, and tasteful, if slightly tired, furnishings."
Fodor's "The staff, among the nicest in the city, greets you with a glass of champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries on weekends." Full review
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 "This remains Philadelphia's top prize, a small deluxe hotel with a loyal following, fine dining and high service standards." Full review
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."
Zagat4.0

Frommer's "The largest hotel in the state, and then some, the thrice-incarnated Philadelphia Marriott is high volume -- and surprisingly high service." Full review
Lonely Planet "Inspired views of City Hall and a position at the centre of Center City make this an appealing choice."
i
Though this hotel's higher floors have decent views in all directions, we highly recommend that you ask for a suite in the hotel's southwest corner.
Gayot "Located right across the street from City Hall, the Residence Inn by Marriott Philadelphia City Center provides spacious and comfortable suite accommodations."
Fodor's "Originally the Market Street National Bank, this building from the 1920s has a beautifully restored Art Deco facade." Full review
