The Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia
The Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia makes a grand first impression. Housed in a former neoclassical bank built in 1908 inspired by the Pantheon, the grandeur envelops you as soon as you stride through the door. In the lobby, sunlight streams across 9,000 tons of Georgian marble, where towering columns and terraces encircle a 147-foot-high domed atrium.
In this stunning space, guests start their mornings with a latte or return in the evening for cocktails and contemporary Latin American cuisine at Aqimero from respected chef Richard Sandoval. Beyond the Les Clefs d'Or concierge and a champagne vending machine, an adjoining tower welcomes you with 301 rooms and 30 suites. Whether unpacking your bags in a Standard Queen or the Presidential Suite, you’ll be surrounded by natural light, skyline views and a graceful blend of historic charm with modern décor.
- We love how the Philadelphia hotel preserves its historic details. Walk through the lobby, and you’ll spot the original vault doors, ornate chandeliers and a vintage split-flap board inspired by the historic 30th Street Train Station. Even the well-worn divots in the marble stairs, made by bank customers carrying silver and gold to the vaults, add to the property’s rich history.
- Exceptional concierge service is a hallmark of The Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia. Whether you need a hard-to-get dinner reservation, last-minute dress shoes or assistance booking a flight, the staff goes out of its way to help make your trip as smooth as possible.
- Talk about a great location. Set in Philadelphia’s bustling heart, this luxury address is right next to City Hall and within a 20-minute walk of iconic landmarks like the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Rittenhouse Square and Reading Terminal Market. Joggers can conquer the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s famous “Rocky Steps” or enjoy a run along the scenic Schuylkill River path.
- In the center of the lobby, an oculus in the floor reveals a $1 million chandelier, suspended below in the 6,210-square-foot Grand Ballroom, once the bank vault. With its opulent décor and world-class catering, this dazzling ballroom hosts some of Philadelphia’s most prestigious weddings.
- The hotel’s partnership with Richel D’Ambra Spa & Salon ensures a range of holistic wellness experiences. Treat yourself to a sacred stone massage, a HydraFacial, Zen tissue therapy or a reiki experience. Before your treatment, check out the thermal facilities, which include a state-of-the-art dry sauna, a salt therapy room and a full-body LED light treatment.
- Starting at 220 square feet, the rooms combine modern design with gold and silver accents as a nod to the building’s banking past. And no matter which one you book, look forward to lofty ceilings, great natural light and inspiring views of the Philadelphia skyline, with many overlooking City Hall.
- For families, the 500-square-foot Junior Suite is ideal. With a living room, pull-out couch, two full bathrooms and a door separating the two spaces, it provides both comfort and privacy for those traveling with children.
- For an extra special experience, book the 1,900-square-foot Ritz-Carlton Suite, which features a private entrance via a piston-powered lift. The suite is outfitted with art deco-inspired decor, expansive living spaces, a full kitchen and luxurious Georgia marble bathrooms, all complemented by stunning city views.
- A room or suite with access to the Club Lounge is well worth it. Located on the 30th floor and finished in elegant French walnut, the lounge offers a tranquil setting in which to enjoy breakfast, lunch, cocktails and light bites throughout the day.
- Traveling with a furry friend? The Ritz-Carlton welcomes dogs up to 30 pounds, ensuring that your four-legged companion is pampered just as much as you are.
