Curated with Wonder
A new expression of Philadelphia’s iconic parkside hotel arrives in 2027
Beginning October 16, The Rittenhouse will embark on an extensive reimagining of its public spaces, introducing a new expression of the hotel shaped by the intimacy of a remarkable home, the cultural character of Philadelphia, and its singular place on Rittenhouse Square.
Among the most anticipated additions will be Ruxton Steakhouse, alongside an alluring new bar destination. Intimate and atmospheric, the space draws inspiration from Philadelphia’s rich history of collectors and spirited gatherings, blending rich textures and fine craftsmanship to offer a captivating experience.
Enhancements will begin in fall 2026, while overnight guest stays remain uninterrupted. Construction activity will be thoughtfully limited to designated weekday hours from 9:00 am - 5:00 pm.
As part of this transformation, The Library Bar welcomes its last guest on October 31st, and Mary Cassatt Tea Room serves its last afternoon tea on November 15th.
Beginning in late spring 2027, guests will start to experience a Rittenhouse that feels both culturally layered and deeply connected to the Square it calls home.
