The Rittenhouse
$$$$, Rittenhouse Square
Fodor's Review:
This small luxury hotel takes full advantage of its location on Rittenhouse Square; the restaurant and many of the rooms overlook the city's famous park. The staff, among the nicest in the city, greets you with a glass of champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries and, if you have children, a "treasure chest" of toys. The 33-story building's sawtooth design gives the guest rooms unusual shapes, with nooks and alcoves. Each room has a large marble bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower and television; many also have whirlpool tubs. The management is deeply involved in community affairs, and promotes local artists at the third-floor Satellite Gallery, and with the placement of original art throughout the hotel. The restaurant, Lacroix, puts a sumptuous French spin on local ingredients.

I stayed with my wife for a weekend and we were treated like royalty. The staff seemed to genuinely want to make the stay as good as possible. The room was quite spacious and the shower & tub were amazing. The final touch was overlooking picturesque Rittenhouse Sq. which is right in the heart of Philly but feels almost private. Looking forward to my next visit!It's not square to stay on the Square
