Just steps from the most famous monuments and museums, the Rittenhouse Hotel is the perfect locale to find serenity from the city life just outside the front door. With a full-service, state of the art fitness center and spa, including an indoor pool, all of it overlooking the stunning city, taking a dip or getting a massage become truly memorable experiences . With the French restaurant Lacroix, which will delight even the most discernable palate, and a garden area boasting the hotel’s signature cocktails, this tucked-away, center-of-it-all, warm and inviting hotel is a treat for all.
