Spanning Market Street to the north, South Street to the south, Broad Street to the east and the Schuylkill River Banks to the west, Rittenhouse Square is part of one of the most desired neighborhoods of Philadelphia.

Packed with modern hotels and trendy boutiques, the area is also home to art galleries, theaters and entertainment venues, as well as plenty of cafes, restaurants and eateries serving the best of worldwide cuisine. The area takes its name from Rittenhouse Square park, popular with lovers of sunbathing, outdoor activities, and dog walking, and a favorite destination of families with young kids. All year round, the park is alive with festivals, fairs, and farmers’ markets, which make it one of the most-loved parks in the entire city.
