Pros
Rotating lobby art gallery features local Philadelphia artists
Weekend pool bar complements the rooftop swimming area
Unlimited in-and-out valet parking with adjacent covered garage access
All rooms include city views and modern amenities
Cons

9.5 miles distance from Philadelphia International Airport
“In my opinion, this property's prime Rittenhouse Square location and rooftop pool create a compelling package, particularly for those seeking a blend of leisure and city access. The inconsistency in upkeep is concerning, but the spacious rooms offer a comfortable base. I think the commitment to showcasing local art is a distinctive touch, setting it apart from typical accommodations in the area.”
