The location is outstanding, right on Rittenhouse Square. The staff is incredibly helpful and super nice. Doorman will hand you an umbrella on your way out the door if it’s raining and without asking, ask where you are going and try to direct you the most efficient way - lot of traffic and road closures in the city. Attached restaurant, which is nice, but walkable to a million other places too. Again, location really can’t be beat. It’s nice to have more space than a just a bedroom with a bed. A great place to stay in the city.

This hotel was fabulous. The rooms and common areas were clean and fully equipped. The gym, tho small, had everything I needed and I was the only one in it every time I went. The location, at Rittenhouse, was so convenient. But the staff was beyond belief - warm and welcoming, helpful, and highly competent. In particular, we appreciated the presence and service of Maria and Wister at the front desk and the Doorman, Greg. I never want to stay at another hotel in Philly!
