There's a reason Travel + Leisure ranked this ultra-luxurious hotel #52 on its list of the top 100 hotels in the world. It's famous for its lush appointments, impeccable service, nationally renowned Lacroix restaurant and location in elegant Rittenhouse Square Park. Each of the 98 guest rooms has a park or city view and comes complete with marble bathrooms, soaking tubs, an entertainment center, refrigerated mini-bar, and designer bath products. Full-service spa and fitness center are onsite, and house-broken pets are welcome and pampered with special amenities.
