The Rittenhouse Philadelphia, for Five-Star Opulence

This five-star operation on the square itself has Philadelphia’s largest guest rooms – in which glass-enclosed showers with massage showerheads, separate seating areas and a twice-daily housekeeping service come as standard. Many rooms directly overlook the park. Highlights of the quintuple-aspect gastronomic offering are acclaimed French/Mediterranean restaurant Lacroix and the Library Bar, a sleek cocktail joint in which the shelves are lined with rare books on the city’s history. Drinks are also served around the atrium pool.
