$$$$, Rittenhouse Square
Fodor's Review:
Tucked away on a small street near Rittenhouse Square, this refined, European-style mansion offers the luxury of a large hotel in an intimate space on the fourth floor. Every room has its own personality, with Louis XVI-inspired chairs, vintage mirrors, Chippendale-style tables, and neoclassical rugs; some have skylights and whirlpool baths. You can also rent the entire mansion for special occasions, as many celebrities have done to protect their privacy. A wine reception is held daily from 5 to 7 in the lobby, where you can relax on fauteuil-style chairs or play a game of chess.
