The Bar/Lounge at The Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia

"The central location (you're practically sitting on city hall's lap) makes this a business traveler's dream, so don't be surprised to witness some expense-account posturing in the Vault cigar lounge"

"By Philly’s City Hall, the brotherly vibes have long been in effect at bars like Mcgillin’s Olde Ale House, which has been serving up house ales since the year Lincoln took office"

"Two lounges, the Vault and the Rotunda, offer cocktails and cigars, and are particularly popular with business travelers on unrestricted expense accounts"

"The rooms, service and ambiance are of course unmatched, and even stopping by for a post-dinner desert at the catherdal-like lobby bar will make you feel more well-heeled than you should"

"tile dome set the stage for "historic" "luxury" at this former beaux arts bank across from City Hall -- a solid bet "when you want to get away and just relax yet still be in the midst of everything"; rooms are "spacious" and "comfortable" (if "a bit traditional/stuffy" to some), the "excellent" facilities include a restaurant, lounge and spa, and "sharp" staffers "take care of things immediately" -- "just remember to have fun and don't care about the cost"

"Ionic columns ascending the height of nine stories dwarf the main lounge, and natural light cascades through the oculus of the 140-foot dome ceiling"

"Repeat guests recommend that you pay extra for access to the Club lounge, a dark, clubby hotel-within-a-hotel with a dedicated concierge and free nibbles and drinks"

"In an ideal location on the Avenue of the Arts across from City Hall, this classic hotel offers the best of everything: a multimillion-dollar renovation debuting in 2016, a popular restaurant, a contemporary lounge, and a luxury spa"

"Premium units provide access to a private lounge on the 30th floor serving five food presentations each day"
