Warwick Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

220 S 17th St, Philadelphia, PA 19103, USA (show on map)

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“This refurbished hotel inside a landmark building at the very center of a historic city is a great place from which to explore. The exterior of the hotel, a landmark that opened in 1926 as the Warwick Hotel, was mostly left intact during the recent $20 million renovation.”

Telegraph review:

“As in the old days of hotels, all you need is under one roof in the historic Warwick Hotel Rittenhouse Square: 301 stylish rooms, three restaurants (a formal steak house, inventive Mediterranean restaurant, casual café/bistro), a hair salon and hi-tech fitness centre.”

Overall the stay was quite lovely. Great location, great service.

Love the location, the vicinity to great restaurants and yes the bed was very comfortable.

Lack of parking and cost of said parking. The satellite dish wasn't working and we had a very limited access to channels in the room.

The parking garage would not accept us because they told me my vehicle was too big. There was no hot water and the piece to hold the coffee grinds was missing so we couldn’t make coffee.

The room was a very nice size and clean. You do get a 10 dollar credit to their “store” for your stay which is nice to be able to get something for the drive home.

When I checked in, I had asked if they would be able to put valet parking on my room even though I wasn’t parking my car as I was only in the hotel for 30 minutes to get ready and go to a concert. I was parked on a side street as the valet parking loading lane was full. The front desk lady told me she was unable to do so because I was not parking my car. Fast forward to 11:30 pm and I went to the front desk and asked if I could have valet parking and was told that valet parking for new vehicles closes at 11 pm, but if I already had valet, he would call for someone to park my car. I was told to drive around the block and use the garage to self park. Luckily, the parking garage is connected to the hotel and self park just means you drive it down and the worker will actually park it for you and gives you the ticket. It would have been nice to know that valet parking closed at 11 pm when checking in especially since I tried to add it to my room during check in.

Very good

Very friendly staff, big room (more square footage than it said in the description), great location--central but very quiet, at least in the room I had.

The furniture, except for the beds, was a bit worn. There was a daily $15 "resort fee" that no other hotel charged. It pushed the total for my stay up $75 and meant the price was only moderately inexpensive.

Good location. Nice lobby area. Possible to park nearby at the street (after some search) without using the valet service.

Unfriendly receptionist during check-in, the colleague of her who took over the next shift was much friendlier. The resort fee of 17 USD per room / night was not mentioned during booking process. 10 USD of it can be used in the overpriced ‘gift shop’. One of our two rooms was smelly at beginning, was better after intense aircon use. Doors to bathrooms are hard to open and close.

Good location and clean, comfortable rooms.

Great location, beautiful hotel, convenient parking nearby.

Being charged for WIFi and water and coffee Kn the room. The “resort” fee.. I didn’t use it and should have a choice. Typically a resort fee is for pools, free parking , etc. Just seemed like an extra expense. I didn’t know about it until after I checked in.

Decent if you don't mind dropping money.

The view wasn't bad and the main lobby was nicely done

How expensive everything was. Overnight parking is $50. Add that to our room and the security deposit and it's about 500 for one night.

Lovely, quite space within a bustling city. Conveniently located. A walking distance from a lot of the city's amenities.All around friendly reception from hotel staff.

Room cleaning could be improved. During our 10 day stay, often times the beds were not made and room wasn't properly cleaned

Ok for 1 night but would not come back.

The staff were nice

The room I requested was not available when I checked in over an hour after the window to check in opened. The room we were given instead had a pull out sofa with stained mattress and no linens or blankets. The bathroom toilet had poop splatter on the rim and the sink had hair in it. Parking garage was painfully long waits.

Cheaper Down the Street

The location is amazing. It is also beautifully decorated. The bathroom was nice too.

For that price, that room WAS NOT worth it. We paid over $200 just for the room. Thereafter we paid $50 additional for parking. The room was a matchbox. There's no space for anything but the bed and the TV stand that morphs into a desk. Our view was of the alley and people who were somewhere that had a pool. No microwave. One towel, washcloth and hand towel per person. The remote didn't even work the TV properly! WAYYYY too much money for what we received.

Enjoyable stay in a very nice hotel

The hotel was centrally located and minutes away from various shops including Maceys. Reading Terminal Foodhall was around 15 minutes away. The hotel has two restaurants attached to it - one Mediterranean and the other a Steakhouse/Grill. There is also a coffee shop that offers healthy breakfast options. Lots of Avocado dishes, burritos, bacon, eggs, heathy toast

Everything was fine - a little pricey but its the city centre. That said the alcohol measures in drinks was much more than at home

Great place to stay in Philly.

Friendly staff and efficient check-in. Air conditioning worked very well, and the room was spacious and clean. No street noise. I loved the location, bus route located within 20 metres.

The only negative was that the plumbing from the adjoining room could be heard during the night.

The staff was amazing. But the carpets and bedding needs to be cleaned properly to avoid odors.

The lobby and the hallway was beautiful. The bathroom was nice and the interior designs were nice as well.

The room was nice, however, the air conditioner made loud noises and would wake me up in the middle of the night. The carpet had an old smell triggering my allergies and the bedding did not smell fresh either. I understand that they were busy and I agreed to have my receipt emailed to me when I checked out, however, I have not received it as of yet and it is the 4th of July.

Excellent place and I will visit again.

The property was at the center location of the city and UPenn is like 15-20 mins of walk. I went early around 10 am and thought of leaving the bag but the let us to check in early so we rested little bit before exploring.

No breakfast. It would be nice if they include break fast .
