Long considered one of Philadelphia’s most prestigious neighborhoods, Rittenhouse Square offers more than just an enviable address — it’s a way of life. Bordered by Market Street to the north, South Street to the south, Broad Street to the east, and the Schuylkill River Banks to the west, this vibrant community is also a favorite for out-of-town visitors thanks to its mix of luxury hotels and lively streets. Tree-lined sidewalks, many with alfresco dining in warmer months, lead to high-end shops, locally owned boutiques, small galleries, theaters, cozy cafes, and an array of bars and restaurants. With so much to enjoy, Rittenhouse Square buzzes with energy year-round.
