Our Inspector's Highlights

After the recent multi-million-dollar renovation of the nearly 15,000-square-foot Rittenhouse Spa & Club, you may never want to leave the well-appointed, meticulously maintained wellness center.
A big draw here is Rittenhouse Spa & Club's full-service, 3,000-square-foot salon. Aside from runway-worthy cuts and colors, there is a barbershop, grooming station and nail salon. The spa prides itself on stocking its retail shelves with boutique luxury skincare lines such as Natura Bissé, Zents and LEEF Organics.
The sun-soaked wellness center boasts ceiling skylights and walls of windows throughout. It provides a definitive nod to the iconic park below and 360-degree views of Philly.

Things to Know

Tea is served in the Philadelphia hotel’s peaceful first-floor Mary Cassatt Tea Room daily from 2 to 5 p.m. Large windows overlook a quaint English-style garden.
For those looking to get a sweat on, the fitness center filled with Technogym equipment, Peloton bikes and a private studio should do the trick.

The Rooms

The Rittenhouse has a mix of 118 guest rooms and suites, but the sheer size of the regular accommodations (which are considered huge by city-hotel standards) makes each one feel special.
Besides sitting areas and flat-screen TVs, there are dressing rooms with vanities and large bathrooms. The renovation unveiled new upholstery, linens and drapery, softened the color palette with pale yellows and blues.
Designer Alexandra Champalimaud gave the third-floor suites a private hallway entrance lined with shelves carrying Philadelphia-themed books.
In the suites themselves, oak wood floors, gilded wallpaper, silk curtains, four-poster burnt oak beds, marble kitchens complete with food prep areas and microwaves and silver travertine bathrooms add glamour to the Philadelphia hotel’s usual refined look.

The Restaurants

Lacroix at The Rittenhouse features a menu of refined yet playful fare with global flavor combinations and elegant presentations. The wine list is well-chosen, and the service is renowned.
