Fodor's Expert Review 10 Arts Lounge
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
For a most civilized break from touring, enter the luxurious world of the Ritz-Carlton's soaring rotunda, now the site of the 10 Arts Lounge (in the Bistro breakfast is available daily). Here the stately marble columns and classical architecture nicely contrast with modern, upholstered furniture and other contemporary design touches. You can take it all in with a cool drink or cocktail and a gourmet Philly-style snack, like house-made soft pretzel bites with cheddar sauce, Dijon mustard, and jalapeño jam. The lounge also offers afternoon tea and happy hour at different times of the year. Call ahead for reservations.
