Romance On Rittenhouse Square!
My husband surprised me with an overnight stay at The Rittenhouse Hotel this past Valentine's Day which also happened to be our 20th Wedding Anniversary. We were very pleased when we checked in and we were greeted with a very nice anniversary surprise in a room upgrade to a beautiful, corner suite with a view over beautiful Rittenhouse Square! Later we were also surprised with a fruit bowl and a beautiful plate of chocolate covered strawberries with an anniversary greeting written in chocolate and card from David Benton, General Manager! Our room was perfect...the temperature, the comfort of the bed, the roominess and also this particular had a sitting area with another bathroom. We had the opportunity to use the fitness/spa facilities. Although small, the gym had all of the equipment required for a great workout and the spa has co-ed steamroom and sauna which is rare and we enjoyed it thoroughly...we also had a delicious breakfast at Lacroix, the restaurant in the hotel. There are also many restaurants and bars along the square so there is no lack of places to eat and get a great cocktail. Our nephew is getting married in June and his wedding is being held at The Rittenhouse. We have already booked our rooms and we cannot wait to return to this very elegant, romantic hotel!
