AKA Rittenhouse Square

Great location. Super comfy and clean accommodation. Front desk is so warm and welcoming, Wister was really friendly and helpful! Will stay here again for sure!

From the moment I arrived, the AKA Rittenhouse delivered the kind of attentive, personalised service that truly sets a property apart. Wister at the front desk and Bianca, who heads up front office, exemplify what welcoming hospitality should be - warm, professional, and genuinely caring about every guest's experience. As someone who's been championing the AKA brand for years, this property continues to exceed expectations. The location simply couldn't be better - perched right on Rittenhouse Square, you're surrounded by gorgeous boutiques and some of Philadelphia's finest dining. A leisurely lunch at Parc watching the square come alive, or evening cocktails at Rouge are absolute musts. The hotel's amenities are thoughtfully curated, too. The gym is well-equipped, and the small conference room on Level 2 is perfect for intimate meetings or for getting work done in a professional setting. What truly makes AKA Rittenhouse shine is the team - their attentiveness and genuine warmth create that rare combination of luxury and a sense of genuine welcome. This is what exceptional experiences are built on. Highly recommend for both business and leisure stays in Philadelphia.

★★★★★ AKA Rittenhouse Square exceeded every expectation. The room was gorgeous and incredibly spacious, with a beautiful kitchen and breakfast nook that made it feel like a true home rather than a hotel. The views overlooking Rittenhouse Square were stunning and added such a special touch to the stay. The staff were professional, kind, and attentive throughout, making everything seamless from arrival to departure. Every detail was thoughtfully maintained, and the overall experience was comfortable, elegant, and welcoming. I would absolutely stay here again. Thanks all!

Staff was wonderful and the room was large.

The coffee machine was a mystery. I've never been defeated by a coffee maker anywhere in the world so either it was not working or it is not user friendly at all. The room's seating was uninvitingly firm. The restaurant staff was terrific and desserts were great but I think some type of bread product could be offered with the omelet, considering the price. Also, the room was 86 degrees when I arrived. It was no trouble to lower the temperatuire but that demand asked a lot of the system!

The front office staff was friendly and helpful, manager Bianca went out of her way to make my Mom's 90th birthday special with balloons in our unit. So very thoughtful!

Our 2 bedroom unit was a little cold due to a thermostat problem but maintenance repaired while we were out the next day. While the bedroom windows were sound proof, the master bath was not, so we did hear quite a bit of noise as the party vans regularly drove up 18th st. on the weekend. Closing door helped.

Yes, the hotel is located in a perfect location right on Rittenhouse Square. And yes, the rooms are great for an extended stay (think AirBnB meets elegant hotel). But I want to give a shout out to the team --- in particular Sinhaja and Ellisha. My initial room had some issues that frustrated me. They turned a "lemon" into "lemonade" ---- appreciated my concerns and got me into a different, magnificent room.

We had a great time in AKA. The double rooms were awesome. So much space for us. Wister was great at the front desk when we had questions.

Very friendly and helpful staff! Wister was very professional and accommodating! Room service was quick and very good

The location is excellent. You're right on Rittenhouse Square. Parc Restaurant nearby is one of the best restaurants you'll find in the city.

Unfortunately there are several detractors that make this hotel a no-go for me in the future. For the price, the first room they gave me was unacceptable. After some haggling, to their credit, they upgraded me to a much nicer suite. However, the real amenity I needed was a later checkout. I begged when I booked and I begged when I checked in and the best they could do was an additional charge of $150 until 1 or 2 pm! The bathrooms are small and not very functional. Even after the upgrade, the bathroom toilet, when in use, means your knees are touching the cabinet. The lobby is small, dark and cold. ONLY ONE ELEVATOR! Each time I needed to use the elevator, I had to wait and watch it stop at several floors before it arrived, only to be full and start the waiting process all over again. I understand some of these things are "life in the big city" but for the price they charge, there are better and plentiful properties that do a better job because they are trying harder. Bottom line... It's not worth the money.
