“Carpet is dirty, smelled, old and in need of upgrades. The hotel should be renovated for the price of the rooms. Get with the program people.
Staff was nice and helpful…. Hotel is in great location, but could not believe how dirty and old it was …. Esp in light of the cost! I deserve a refund.”

“We just came back after 10 years. We were not disappointed! We love the brunch at La Croix. Looking forward to Scarpetta on our next visit. Stopped by the bar for a drink and to people watch and enjoyed live music and a lively but nice crowd.
Love the LeLabo toiletries. Super comfy bed and pillows. I am A sucker for plush bathrobes and slippers which they offered. Was convenient to have an iron in the room too!
We got to stroll Rittenhouse Square Park- which is directly outside. Great shops and restaurants within walking distance makes it a pleasure to stay here.
Will be back when we are back in Philadelphia .”

“We stayed at the Rittenhouse to celebrate our wedding anniversary in relaxing luxury. However, the hotel did not deliver. Our stay was "average" and did not offer any of the perks of staying at a 5-star hotel. The concierge was not available the entire stay which meant that the complimentary car service to our dinner outings was not available. Other issues contributing to an average score included: the room not having a remote control for the television, the coffee machine being unplugged with the outlet not easily accessible, broken wine glass was not replaced, and no turndown service. We were expecting much better customer service like a welcome card from the manager, a pastry (or some other welcome gift) in the room when we arrived or when we returned from a day/evening out, or other services that would set the Rittenhouse apart from other hotels with lower star ratings.
We did like the location of the hotel. It was convenient to shopping, restaurants, and other amenities. Aside from our dinner reservations, we were able to walk to all of our destinations and enjoy the city.”

“The Rittenhouse was fabulous!
Everyone on the staff went out of their way to be friendly and provide top notch service from the moment we pulled up the driveway.
We had a room with 2 Queen-size beds that seemed larger than pictured on the websites. Breakfast at the hotel restaurant Lacroix was great and again, the staff was so friendly.
The room was clean and decorated more modern/fresher than the photos showed. The photos made the rooms look so yellow but it was more neutral, like a light beige in person. We thought the wallpaper was pretty cool too.
The Indoor pool was fun for me and my kids and room service at dinner time arrived pretty quickly.
Concierge Chris was awesome and even drove us into Philly in the Hotel Jaguar when we wanted to go sightseeing!
We will definitely stay with them again because we were so comfortable staying at the hotel and we didn’t get to see/experience all that Philadelphia had to offer! ”

“We celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary at the Rittenhouse and they made it extremely special for us. We felt like royalty staying there in a really spacious room overlooking the park. I enjoyed the soaking tub. It was spacious enough that we felt we could live there. The staff was amazing and went above and beyond to help make our anniversary feel special, which we deeply appreciated. This hotel offers a nice indoor pool as well as fitness center, which we got to use, but if we had had more days we would have used more. I did enjoy a Rolfing massage before leaving this hotel, which was a new experience for me and a great relief. My Massage Therapist 💆♀️ was extremely skilled and successful at relieving my pain. The only thing that would keep us from returning to the Rittenhouse is the pungent odors from the park where a lot of people smoke weed openly and other smells coming from the vents underground. ”

“The staff was friendly, attentive and helpful. We reserved two rooms, and they were able to place them close to each other. Surprisingly difficult in more hotels. ”
