"Set in a former bank adjacent to City Hall, the Ritz-Carlton stands out—even on the corner of downtown Philadelphia’s busy Broad Street. The building, constructed in 1908, was designed to resemble the Pantheon, complete with large white columns, a portico entrance, and gigantic dome that towers over the stately lobby. The grandiosity extends to the interiors, too; the 301 guest rooms and suites are a study in soothing, neutral tones. All of the furnishings are comfortable and contemporary, while large windows offer downtown views and plenty of natural light. (Though, if you like your space, consider booking a spacious Superior Room or suite; if you go with the latter, you’re guaranteed access to the Club Lounge, a 30th-floor oasis with a dedicated concierge and light bites available throughout the day.)" - Regan Stephens, Katie James Watkinson
