This place is a bit of a fortress to access, but it is a private club, and its exclusivity is what makes it unique. Access to a private bars and restaurants, wellness facilities, and bowling lanes are a definite plus. The shared spaces are filled with art and I was pleasantly surprised to find a rather large Rashid Johnson piece in the secondary reception area. There are only 14 rooms from my understanding, so it’s definitely a boutique experience, but it exists in an area with a lot of new construction, so noise may be an issue for some right now if you’re sensitive to that (not to mention the Armory space across the street). It’s in a great location with direct access to the river and trails, and is quite central to Rittenhouse and other attractions. Public transit access is easy to get you around the city on the cheap and quite efficiently. Overall, a very lovely stay. Thanks to Maggie and Lu for being so friendly and hospitable.
