My husband and I recently enjoyed a 3 night stay at the Rittenhouse 1715. Upon entering the hotel, we immediately noticed how similar in ambiance it was to a small hotel where we had stayed a few years ago in the Saint Germain area of Paris. In fact, the Paris hotel served a similar breakfast in a charming downstairs breakfast room just as is served at Rittenhouse 1715. However, 1715 also offered modern amenities such as a plasma TV and updated bathroom (unlike the bathroom in Paris, it was nicely updated with a rainshower and sparkling marble). The bed was very comfortable and we had no problem regulating the a/c in our room during a warm spell in October. Due to a rainstorm, our flight was delayed and then diverted to Baltimore causing us to arrive at the hotel at 3:00 in the morning from the West Coast. The desk person was very accommodating and took our luggage to our room with a smile even at that late hour. My only negative comment would be the inconsistent level of customer service. While some desk employees were extremely pleasant and helpful, there were others who were cool and indifferent. Overall, the hotel was very charming and clean and ideally located near Rittenhouse Square where excellent dining and shopping is within walking distance. We look forward to staying at the Rittenhouse 1715 on future visits to Philadelphia.
