The Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia

About this hotel

The Ritz-Carlton occupies one of Center City's most recognizable landmark buildings, a minute's walk from City Hall with city views from the upper-floor rooms that few properties on this list can match. The posh spa is the property's real signature, paired with a refined restaurant that draws its own dining crowd separate from hotel guests. There's no pool here, which is unusual for a 5-star property, so the appeal rests entirely on the spa, the service level and the landmark address rather than any water feature. Aqimero, the same restaurant found at the W, sits a minute away for a second dining option beyond the hotel's own. The airport runs about nineteen minutes by taxi or thirty-two minutes on public transport.
