Rittenhouse Residence is one of Philadelphia's great historic mansions. Built in 1845 and spanning nearly 7,000 sq ft across five floors, it remains one of the city's finest examples of 19th-century architecture.
Located just two blocks from Rittenhouse Square, you are steps from Philadelphia's best restaurants, boutiques, parks, and cultural landmarks while enjoying the privacy and scale of a grand historic residence.
THE HOUSE
From the moment you enter, the Grand Parlour sets the tone - one of the city's largest private historic rooms, featuring original period details, a pool table, and generous lounge seating.
The scale of the house allows large groups to move through it comfortably, with three living rooms, formal dining space, and two full kitchens providing flexibility throughout your stay.
The Library Suite on the second floor - complete with wet bar and 70" 4K TV - serves as a natural gathering point for the group, while the roof deck offers panoramic city views ideal for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or simply taking in the Philadelphia skyline.
EIGHT BEDROOMS, COMPLETE PRIVACY
Eight bedrooms accommodate up to 16 guests, making the residence ideal for family gatherings, wedding weekends, corporate retreats, university reunions, and holiday celebrations.
The home includes five full bathrooms and one powder room. The Master and Library suites each feature private en-suite bathrooms, while the remaining suites share bathrooms between rooms.
The layout is designed to balance togetherness with privacy, allowing everyone space to relax comfortably while remaining under one roof.
FOR CORPORATE GROUPS
High-speed WiFi throughout, dedicated workspaces, and communal areas that naturally accommodate breakout sessions, presentations, and strategy days.
Rittenhouse Residence offers something no conference hotel can match: privacy, character, and a setting your team will genuinely remember.
FOR FAMILIES & WEDDING GROUPS
The entire residence is exclusively yours for the duration of your stay — no shared spaces, no other guests.
Wedding groups can stay together under one roof just minutes from many of Philadelphia's finest venues, while family gatherings benefit from a layout that keeps everyone connected without ever feeling crowded.
GUEST ACCESS
Guests enjoy exclusive access to the full 7,000 sq ft residence across all five floors.
SUPPORT DURING YOUR STAY
A dedicated support team is available throughout your stay to assist with any questions or urgent needs.
IMPORTANT NOTES There is no parking available at the property, but guests can make use of several nearby public parking lots, all within a few minutes’ walk. Rittenhouse Residence is a historic private home, not a party house. We warmly welcome respectful groups looking to gather and enjoy the city together.
