Multiple room exposures provide abundant natural light with Mecho room-darkening shades
Sferra Italian linens and adjustable bedside reading lamps in all bedrooms
Award-winning sommelier Frank Kinyon curates a selection of over 300 wine labels

Fitness facilities available through off-site partner location
“AKA Rittenhouse Square distinguishes itself with residential-style suites featuring full kitchens, a perk for extended stays in the city center, and it has garnered accolades for a.kitchen, the in-house restaurant. Its location directly on Rittenhouse Square places guests steps from upscale shopping and dining, while the building itself blends historical character with modern design. I think the balance of comfort and location especially suits business travelers or those seeking a home-like experience in Philadelphia.”
