The Franklin on Rittenhouse, A Boutique Hotel

Location, staff, breakfast, coffee, and tea.

This was a pleasant hotel and is very well located in Philadelphia. The beds were comfortable, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was a nice, varied continental buffet. There were plenty of restaurants in the immediate area. There was water and coffee in both the room and in the lobby.

I didn't use the breakfast option. I went to my daughter's as soon as I could.

The hotel is so beautiful! We stayed there for my husband's 40th birthday. The amenities were great, and we were pleasantly surprised by how good the continental breakfast was!

We stayed in the Belle Opaque room, which was an upgrade from the room I booked. It was very nicely decorated. The bed was very comfortable and the linens and towels were luxurious. It had a separate large living room with a fireplace that felt like being in an old city home. The rooms were very clean. The location was perfect for the Rittenhouse part of the city -- close to the park, stores, and restaurants, yet on a quiet side street. The staff was helpful, when asked about a place to keep dinner leftovers cold, they quickly brought in a portable fridge, and got wine glasses on our request. I chose this hotel, because the larger, chain ones I typically stay at were fully booked, and I'm glad we did.
