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