The staff was incredible, the complementary breakfast was convenient and delicious, the rooms are clean and a perfect size. The hotel is cozy and in one of the best locations in Philly. Everything you need is walking distance. Perfect for those auditioning at Curtis Institute.

Perfect boutique hotel--cute, charming & welcoming

We had a wonderful stay at the Franklin from check-in to departure. When we arrived, the front desk manager was personable, friendly, and very welcoming. That set the tone for our time there -- everyone we met in the lobby, hip cocktail bar, brunch service, or any other part of our trip was warm and caring. The room was cozy and personable, with a comfortable bed and amazing shower with both rainfall and spray showerheads. The location is fantastic too. The only caution I'd give is that the desk in our room was not very big, so only good for a quick email check and not serious work on a laptop. But this stay was for fun anyway, so that was not a big deal so much as an observation. But for a romantic or fun getaway, the Franklin is perfect. And the cocktail bar hidden off the lobby was a cool bonus too! We appreciate how everyone there made our stay so enjoyable and special, and look forward to coming back soon! Each room is decorated differently with a personality of its own, so it would be fun to check out a different one next time for a twist.

Here is the real deal with this place- parking is a nightmare Rooms are very depressing,No heat which is unbelievable and no covers to speak of.I booked because reviews were positive which I can’t believe. I did not stay and most likely will not see a refund. Went to The Sofitel.

Comfortable Rittenhouse hotel

My room was very comfortable, quiet, clean. I expected the bathroom to be somewhat small and dated but it was neither. It was clean, spacious, lovely 9 shower with rain shower head. The only negative is a smell that permeates the lobby: not sure what it is nor why it has not been remedied. That’s a small niggle vs the lovely rooms.

The only thing I was slightly bummed about was the bar closing before 10pm. Although it was the Eagles playoff game so I understand that aspect, but I love the bar and was looking forward to a night cap. Otherwise it was a very nice quiet stay, I felt very safe even being close off of the first floor. Staff was lovely and it was very clean and accommodating.
