The Bar/Lounge at The Rittenhouse Hotel

"  There's also the Mary Cassatt Tearoom and Garden (the famed Impressionist painter's brother once lived in a mansion on this site) and the chic Library Bar (when you check in you get a coupon for a free glass of bubbly or cappuccino)"

"While the hotel accommodates business travelers with high-speed Internet access, speaker phones and fax machines available in-room, they'd better keep a close eye on their expense accounts, since the property is home to excellent restaurants, including the Mary Cassatt Tearoom and Lounge with views of a cloistered garden, the renowned Lacroix at The Rittenhouse serving French cuisine, and Scott Conant's Italian restaurant Scarpetta"

"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 rather than dictates them"

"As part of the renovation, the Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star hotel debuted The Library Bar, a sleek, dark spot where you can sit in a gold leather barstool and enjoy The RH (a whiskey sour lightly sweetened that’s garnished with housemade dried figs) and over-the-top appetizers such as fingerling potato chips with Osetra caviar and crème fraîche for dipping"

"" Lacroix serves "excellent, progressive" international cuisine and has "a great bar where they make martinis with stuffed olives—the real deal"

"This mosaicked sculpture garden made from recycled glass, handmade tiles, bicycle wheels, metal scraps and other miscellany stretches for more than half a block of bustling South Street, Philadelphia’s strip of bars, restaurants, galleries and boutiques"

"Thursdays through Saturdays a live jazz band plays in the library bar"

"Tea is served in the Marry Cassat lounge as well as in this courtyard, weather permitting"
