Rittenhouse Square District

Market to South streets | Broad Street to Schuylkill River

The Scene: At the center of this posh neighborhood is a popular park called Rittenhouse Square, complete with a Parisian-style plaza and fountains. Stroll Walnut Street, a.k.a. Rittenhouse Row, for some of the world's most famous retailers, high-end boutiques, and lively outdoor cafes. A bustling business center by day, the district is a hotspot for elegant restaurants and cutting-edge cultural nightlife. It is both an exciting area to visit and stay in, offering accommodations ranging from historic landmarks, five-diamond winners, bed and breakfasts, business hotels, and other luxurious properties.

The Big Thing: From free summer concerts to a dazzling Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony in December, Rittenhouse Square holds a variety of different events. Rittenhouse is also the perfect neighborhood for indulgence, whether it's an extravagant European spa treatment or a candlelit dinner and night at the opera. The district encompasses the southern stretch of the Avenue of the Arts where the glass-roof Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts shines as the stage for several performing arts groups.
