“A great little hotel right at the heart of Philly Centre”

Great place to stay right at the heart of Philly's centre. A unique little hotel, nicely decorated and very well kept. Food & room were excellent, staff was outstandingly friendly and helpful, great location. Very different from staying in one of those big hotels in the same area for the same amount of money (done that, liked this one more). Only thing you may want to note: The breakfast that is included is fine, but it does not include things like the as-you-design omelet or the freshly squeezed juice. I think the small addition for getting exactly what you want type of breakfast is totally fine, but don't be surprised. My only suggestion: Have some *really* good (french) pastry and coffee. The current variety and taste are fine compared to standard hotels, but they can do more to stand out.

“A Gem in Downtown Philly!”

We have stayed at this hotel twice in the last couple of months and love it. The location is ideal, downtown. If you like small hotels with a very personal touch, this is a great place to stay. The staff is so welcoming and helpful. They can't do enough for their guests. We will use it again and again and heartily recommend it.

“What a Find in Philadelphia!”

Can't wait to go back to this intimate hotel. Fantastic staff - so friendly and helpful - they made us feel truly welcome. The hotel is in a terrific location and just beautiful. Our room was small but it didn't matter, given what a gem this place is.

“Friendly sophistication”

My sister and I stayed here for two nights, and both loved the decor and ambience of this chic little hotel. Very friendly staff, complimentary breakfast and little touches like a turning down service added to the overall very positive experience. Thank you to the staff who looked after us so well.

“Lovely & Charming”

Last week I stayed for three nights at the Rittenhouse 1715 and I was very pleased with this absolutely lovely and charming hotel - lots of attention to details. The lobby reminded me of a living room in a nice home in Europe; the staff is warm, friendly and helpful; my room was spacious and impeccably clean; lots of little things that make a stay so enjoyable: complimentary morning newspaper, continental breakfast and the evening wine "happy hour". It felt like coming home after a long day of sightseeing...The location is fantastic: at a corner of Rittenhouse Park, surrounded by wonderful cafés and Brasseries and an easy walk to the city center. Bravo to the staff for making their guests feel so welcome! Would I go back? In a heartbeat... Would I recommend this hotel? Absolutely

“It is a good hotel”

The hotel is clean, comfortable. Nice breakfast.

“Boutique hotel, personalized service”

Rittenhouse 1715 is all about personal service, a rarity in most service businesses today. Located on a quiet side street around the corner from Rittenhouse Square, the rooms were clean, comfortable, and well appointed. There is a free breakfast (omelets and organic juices extra), and you can relax with a complimentary glass of wine from about 5 - 7 p.m. If you arrive by car, you can hand off the keys and the staff will park it for you at a nearby garage for about $15/day, a bargain compared to the exorbitant "valet" rates most hotels charge. But it's the hotel personnel themselves that deliver the best experience - a welcoming attitude that makes you feel wanted and appreciated. After this experience, we can never stay anywhere else, and will be back.

“Charming hotel”

Great location, spacious rooms, helpful staff and excellent value for the area.

“Terrific Center City Hotel”

We loved everything about our stay here - beautiful and comfortable room that had had every possibility of the guests' needs considered. Breakfast was delicious (though beware that some items like omelets and wafflesmay carry a surcharge). Many thoughtful extras like very yummy choc chip cookies and complimentary wine happy hour. Service was excellent and very obliging.Great location for us, just around the corner from the Curits Institute of Music wih fabulous free student concerts, and convenient for downtown Philly -though the historic district is more of a hike away. Only drawback was the background roar of the city which must be difficult to escape in this area. Very highly recommended.
