"Set in the heart of the historic city, the Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia blends historic architecture with modern luxury to create a sophisticated and welcoming retreat."

Stately columns frame the entrance to The Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia which occupies a former bank building dating back to 1908 and an adjacent high-rise added on in the 1920s that now houses the guest rooms. After a recent multi-million dollar renovation, the hotel pays homage to its history with nickel and copper design accents while preserving the original Pantheon-inspired architecture, Georgian marble and grand rotunda lobby. Set on the Avenue of the Arts just across from City Hall, this posh hotel is within a few blocks of dozens of dining options. It’s also within a 20-minute walk of historic sites including the Liberty Belle, Independence Hall and the Besty Ross House. The Pennsylvania Convention Center is an eight-minute walk away, and the Mütter Museum is within a 15-minute walk.

The 301 guest rooms and suites seamlessly blend old and new, with high ceilings accented with handcrafted crown mouldings, Georgia marble bathrooms and large executive desks perfect for business travellers. Every guest room is outfitted with large windows for captivating city views, and some look out at the 27-ton statue of William Penn that tops City Hall. Guests of Executive-level rooms can access the 30th-floor Club Lounge which was once the bank’s executive board room. Lined with wood panelling made from rare French walnut, the Club Lounge provides a welcoming environment from which to enjoy the complimentary daily array of refreshments including breakfast, evening hors d'oeuvres and mouthwatering desserts. Perched on the 31st-floor, the Ritz-Carlton Suite is accessed by a private elevator and boasts a full kitchen, a laundry area and a sophisticated living room with City Hall views.

Being within walking distance of countless local attractions is certainly a perk, and yet guests will also find plenty to do without ever leaving the hotel. At Aqimero by Richard Sandoval, dine on sustainable Latin-fusion cuisine including mushroom flatbread and 45 Day Dry-Aged NY Strip prepared on a wood-burning grill. Otherwise, stop in for breakfast to enjoy specialities including Pina Colada French toast and later for the signature Aqimero Burger with jalapeno cheddar and Dijonaise. At Richel D’Ambra Spa & Salon you can treat yourself to anything from a classic massage and a manicure to treatments with Tibetan singing bowls and chakra balancing. Children can take part in the Ritz Kids program to learn about the history and culture of Philadelphia through fun hands-on activities.
