Deservedly one of the most awarded hotel properties in Philadelphia, the Rittenhouse Hotel gets its namesake by situating almost every aspect of the architecture around the gardens and foundations of Rittenhouse Square. While its doors opened officially in 1989, the property itself was purchased by railroad tycoon A.J. Cassatt and his wife Lois Buchanan Cassatt, for which the Mary Cassat Tea Room is named after. The Episcopal Church of Pennsylvania utilized the building as its headquarters before it was converted to a private school under the Academy of Notre Dame.
While much of the original design is intact, the Rittenhouse Hotel has become a beacon for the contemporary. The sprawling hotel features 118 guest rooms up to 600 square feet and 25 additional suites that encompass up to a whopping 2,000 square feet. Embedded among the suites is a full-service salon and spa along with its Forbes Four-Star rated restaurants: Lacroix, Bar210, Scarpetta, the Library Bar, and Mary Cassatt Tea Room.
The Grand Ballroom is a consummate example of luxury, accommodating large-scale weddings and events among its illustrious walls. Those looking for a more intimate arrangement will find the same quality service and attention to detail within the smaller Parkview Suite.
