A dozen hotels surround splendid Rittenhouse Square, but only one is The Rittenhouse. Scores of publications rank the hotel a world’s best. It’s even earned a Forbes Travel Guide 2023 Five-Star Award. Luxury escapism is the vibe at The Rittenhouse, with a Belgian stone courtyard, an award-winning spa, Sunday brunch at Lacroix and gold leather barstools at Library Bar, afternoon high tea and massive guestrooms. But one amenity stands above them all. All guests have access to the hotel’s driver’s service, a complementary chauffeured luxury Jaguar XJL sedan that will transport you anywhere within a 20-block radius. Note that service is offered on a first-come first-served.
