The Franklin on Rittenhouse, A Boutique Hotel

Our flight got canceled and we stayed in Philly for the night. Found The Franklin on Hotels.com for a good rate and took a chance. We were so pleasantly surprised. We stayed in one of the apartment-style rooms—I loved the interior design. Beautiful and new. Will definitely stay next time I’m in town!

We enjoyed our stay. This was our first time in Philly and Rittenhouse Sq area was recommended. The hotel is small, the room was nicely decorated, had all we needed. The breakfast was simple enough to hit the spot. The staff were fabulous but Addison was my favourite. Nice to be welcomed with a kiss when you entered the lobby!! (Addison is a black lab in case you were wondering 😜). We walked all over the city with ease, never felt unsafe and even took in a Phillies game via the subway…super efficient. We loved Philadelphia and look forward to visiting again.

Comfortable bed.

Bar didn't open until 5pm. Parking was an issue

Location is great

There were too many stairs, and this was not written anywhere. The building is two joined buildings and there stairs in corridors, and there is no lift to 3rd floor. You have to carry suitcases. The bar of the hotel is a speakeasy but it was booked with regulars, hotel customers do not have a priority.

We enjoyed the speakeasy style bar! What a wonderful way to end the night before heading upstairs to a very comfortable bed.

We parked our car across the street and did not use it our entire visit.

No

parking not easy...
