"Belying the beaux arts facade, this extended-stay's "sleek", "minimalist" environs appeal to business travelers and vacationers who groove on "roomy", "apartment-style" suites."

"Though steps away from the popular park and surrounding shopping, the AKA Rittenhouse Square operates in a below-the-radar fashion favored by visiting actors and athletes."
