Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square
About this hotel
The Sonesta's defining feature sits on top of the building: an outdoor rooftop pool with loungers looking across Rittenhouse Square's rooftops, open through the warmer months and busiest in the late afternoon once the workday winds down. Rooms below are contemporary and sized generously for a downtown high-rise, with the bar and eatery on the ground floor doubling as a meeting spot for guests and neighborhood regulars. Market Street and 18th sit at the doorstep, putting the square's boutiques and restaurants within a minute's walk, and the Academy of Natural Sciences is a seven-minute stroll for anyone traveling with kids. The airport runs about twenty minutes away by taxi, or half an hour on public transport when the budget matters more than the clock.
