Rittenhouse Residence · Historic 8BR Home · Roof Decks · Walk to the Square

The Rittenhouse Residence is one of Philadelphia’s great historic private homes — a place to make the city your own, together. Nearly 7,000 square feet of tall windows, handsome fireplaces and period character give your stay a sense of occasion, while eight bedrooms and thoughtful modern comforts make it easy to settle in.

With more than 170 years of history, Rittenhouse Residence combines the character and proportions of a historic private home with the space and comforts required for modern group stays.

Two blocks from Rittenhouse Square, you can stroll out for breakfast, browse the boutiques, linger over dinner and return to a home that belongs entirely to your group. For a group stay in Philadelphia, we think it’s hard to beat this location: a graceful residential setting with the pleasures of Center City close at hand.

THE GRAND PARLOR & LIVING SPACES
The Grand Parlor is one of Philadelphia’s truly grand private parlors, with a sense of scale rarely found in a city home. Fourteen-foot ceilings, a historic marble fireplace, a crystal chandelier and a full-size pool table set the scene for unhurried conversation and evenings together.

There are three shared living rooms — the Grand Parlor, Family Room and Library Lounge — so everyone can find their own rhythm. The library’s bookshelves, wet bar and period furnishings invite a quieter hour. The principal suite has an additional private sitting room, reserved for the guests using that bedroom.

Two full kitchens make group breakfasts and longer stays wonderfully practical. A large dining table invites leisurely meals at home. Above it all, the private roof decks offer city views and open sky; the secluded courtyard provides another place to pause with your coffee.

EIGHT BEDROOMS, ROOM TO RETREAT
Eight bedrooms, two king beds, six queen beds and one full-size bed accommodate up to 17 overnight guests, including children. Five full bathrooms and a powder room help keep mornings moving. The principal bedroom has a king bed, private sitting room and private bathroom. Our family bedroom pairs a queen with a full-size bed, making it a useful choice for parents and children or three adults.

A HOME FOR THE PEOPLE YOU CAME WITH
For family reunions, graduation weekends, friends’ getaways and wedding-guest stays, the joy is in the hours between plans: breakfast together, a game of pool, an evening on the roof and a familiar face at the kitchen table.

No shared lobby. No unrelated guests. Just your people, under one remarkable roof.

CORPORATE & EXECUTIVE STAYS
For colleagues travelling together, Rittenhouse Residence offers a distinctive alternative to booking a collection of separate hotel rooms.

High-speed Wi-Fi, dedicated workspaces in several rooms, multiple living areas and two kitchens make group and longer stays particularly comfortable, while eight individual bedrooms provide privacy at the end of the day.

It offers the opportunity for the whole group to stay together in one characterful private Philadelphia residence.

• Maximum capacity is 17 overnight guests, including children.
• The Grand Parlor’s pool table normally sits toward one end of the room. Some photographs show its occasional centered configuration, available by special request.
• We welcome respectful group stays, not parties, ceremonies, receptions or events. Please speak with us in advance about visitors or professionals joining you during your stay, and follow the listing’s house rules.
