The luxury of a five-star hotel, the access of a premier location, the convenience of high tech amenities, and the comfort of a home away from home - AKA Rittenhouse Square brings everything together in one impeccably designed building sitting proudly on what may be Philadelphia's most bustling corner, 18th & Walnut. Respectfully transformed with stylish, up-to-the-minute interiors that still preserve the building's magnificent historic facade, AKA's extended-stay building is at the heart of this city known as the "Birthplace of America". With sleek lines and stylishly contemporary decors, each spacious apartment provides all of the comforts of home, along with the service and amenities of a luxury hotel - for best of both worlds.

Great hotel right in the middle of a vibrant neighborhood. High praise to Greg, met us at the curb with a luggage trolley and incredible recommendations for parking, dining and places of interest. A wonderful start to a very nice stay in a top notch hotel.

I’m from New Jersey and I drove into Philadelphia Friday afternoon to see a show. My girlfriend reserved a room at the Hotel AKA, 135 S18th St. we stayed one night but I am so glad we stayed here. The staff was amazing! They were professional, courteous, and so very friendly. I would like to send a special shout out to my man Greg, the door man! Have you ever gone somewhere and there’s always that one person who stands out? That’s my man Greg! He is totally in his element. He helped us tremendously! He went so far as to push our luggage cart all the way to the parking garage across the street so we could avoid the traffic jam on S 18th street. Talk about going over and above! All in all it was a great experience staying there and next time we go into Philly, I’ll be booking a room at AKA!
