“In my opinion, this hotel's location in Rittenhouse Square places it perfectly for experiencing Philadelphia's attractions. The rooftop pool, although seasonally operated, certainly sets it apart with its city views. I noticed some comments regarding inconsistent service at the pool bar and housekeeping issues, but the in-house Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and the rotating art gallery add a sophisticated touch.”
