My family and I stayed at AKA for a weekend with a fantastic experience. The entire staff, especially Greg at the lobby, was courteous and wonderful with our kids. We would stay here again. Great location.

Our recent stay at the AKA Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment my wife and I arrived, the experience was seamless, sophisticated, and deeply memorable. Staying in Penthouse 3 was an absolute dream, perfectly balancing the refined elegance of a historic Beaux-Arts landmark with the sleek, contemporary comforts of a high-end luxury residence. The design is stunning, featuring panoramic views, a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, and an incredibly spacious, light-filled living area. Waking up to the views of Center City and being just steps away from the beauty of Rittenhouse Square Park made it hard to ever want to leave the room, with every detail from the plush bedding to the spa-like finishes feeling completely flawless. What truly elevates the AKA Rittenhouse from a great hotel to an extraordinary one is the staff, and we have to give a massive shout-out to Jordan and Greg. Jordan was an absolute rockstar, ensuring every detail of our stay was handled with effortless grace and impeccable professionalism. Greg went completely above and beyond, offering the kind of genuine, warm hospitality that makes you feel like a VIP from the second you walk through the front door. Their attentiveness, local recommendations, and welcoming energy truly defined the luxury experience. The location is unbeatable, surrounded by Center City’s premier shopping and dining. If you are looking for the absolute best place to stay in Philadelphia, look no further, as the AKA Rittenhouse is an unmatched urban oasis and we cannot wait to return. A & M Brooklyn, NY

We had an excellent stay at AKA Rittenhouse Square. The location was perfect—right in the heart of Rittenhouse Square and close to great restaurants and shopping. The suite was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed, with all the comforts of home. A special thank you to Wisten, who went above and beyond to make our stay even more enjoyable with outstanding service and genuine hospitality. Overall, it was a relaxing and upscale experience, and we would absolutely stay here again.
