Rittenhouse Hotel

Among Philadelphia's luxury hotels, the Rittenhouse has the fewest and largest rooms and some of the prettiest views. The jagged concrete-and-glass high-rise edges the city's most distinguished public square.

Every guest room is a suite, with a full living room, bay windows, reinforced walls between rooms, and solid-wood doors. All look out to a park across the street, which is leafy and beautiful most of the year, and colorfully lit on wintry nights. The western view of the Schuylkill River and the parkway is dramatic. City scenes by local artists decorate the walls. Thirteen luxury suites include full European kitchens.

The in-house restaurant Lacroix is beautiful at breakfast, and great for special occasions. Also on property: a Smith & Wollensky steakhouse, Adolf Biecker day spa and salon, and a sleek, spectacular health club and pool.

Facilities:
