About this property
Rittenhouse Mansion -City Centre Rittenhouse Mansion - 8BR / roof deck
Mansion In Rittenhouse Square. 8 Bedrooms (7 Queen. 1 King. ). 2 Kitchens.
Step back in time at this exquisite 1845 historic mansion, one of Philadelphia's true architectural gems. With nearly 7,000 sq ft of elegant living space, this grand home offers an unparalleled experience for a festive holiday gathering. It is also a perfect setting for corporate retreats, family reunions, and other special occasions. Perfectly situated just two blocks from the iconic Rittenhouse Square, you are steps away from the city's finest dining, shopping, and cultural landmarks.
The space:
This is more than a home; it's a journey into history. The moment you enter, you are greeted by the magnificent Grand Parlour—one of the largest private rooms in the city—showcasing original 19th-century details and featuring a pool table and lounge area.
- Designed to accommodate large groups with ease, the home provides:
Luxury & Privacy: Eight well-appointed bedrooms across five private suites. The Master and Library suites each have a private bathroom, while the other suites share one bathroom between two rooms.
- Unrivaled Amenities: Whip up a gourmet meal in our chef's kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and all the tools you'll need. With a second, additional kitchen and three living rooms, there's ample space for socializing, dining, and relaxation without ever feeling crowded.
- A Rooftop Oasis: Ascend to the stunning roof deck for a truly exclusive experience. Enjoy panoramic city views from a vantage point only available from this location, perfect for morning coffee or sunset cocktails.
The house's layout is thoughtfully designed for both togetherness and personal space. The second floor features two luxurious suites, including the expansive Library Suite, which includes a wet bar and a 70-inch 4K TV—often left as a communal space for all to enjoy. The upper floors house an additional kitchen and the remaining suites, providing comfortable and private accommodations for up to 16 guests.
Work & Productivity
This home is an ideal home base for business travel and team collaboration. Enjoy high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the house and a variety of flexible workspaces, from desks in some suites to communal work areas and comfortable lounges -perfect for breakout sessions or private calls.
Guest access
You will have exclusive access to the entire 7,000-square-foot mansion, ensuring a completely private and unique experience for you and your guests.
Other things to note:
To ensure a peaceful and respectful experience for all guests and our neighbors, we have a firm no-party policy. This is a historic home in a quiet, residential neighborhood that we expect to be treated with care. Noise sensors are installed in the home and will alert management if sustained sound levels exceed 79 decibels. Repeated breaches of the sound levels or any unauthorized guests on the premises will result in forfeiture of the security deposit and may lead to immediate eviction.
For guests interested in hosting a catered dinner for up to 16 people, please contact us for recommendations. We are happy to connect you with professional caterers and event organizers who are familiar with the property and can help you create a truly special occasion. Please note, the primary dining table seats 12; additional tables can be arranged for a fee.
All guests assume the risk of injury or loss to person and property in conjunction with the use of the roof deck.

What makes this property unique
How many people get to live life like it was in the 1850's? Imagine staff quarters and your entire extended family living in this building. As many as 30 people may have lived and worked in this building at its peak. It would have been a busy place! The house is divided into 5 separate "suites" or living areas where each branch of an extended family could be comfortable in their own apartments while sharing the common areas. Of course, it won't be so crowded for your stay! You'll have over 7K square feet to yourself! Enjoy the high ceilings and the historical detail while you are a guest at the beautiful Rittenhouse mansion- and absolutely take advantage of all that this location has to offer in the great city of Philadelphia!
