The Restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia

"Soaring white marble columns edge the central rotunda, which houses a bar, restaurant, and the best afternoon tea in town"

"10 Arts, the hotel restaurant, uses organic local ingredients for its take on contemporary American cuisine"

"The terrific restaurant from celebrity chef Eric Ripert is also a highlight"

"With an ideal location right in Center City, its guest rooms and suites dominate a thirty-story tower (book a view from the top overlooking Independence Hall just across the street!), adjoined to a rotunda that houses two exceptional restaurants"

"tile dome set the stage for "historic" "luxury" at this former beaux arts bank across from City Hall -- a solid bet "when you want to get away and just relax yet still be in the midst of everything"; rooms are "spacious" and "comfortable" (if "a bit traditional/stuffy" to some), the "excellent" facilities include a restaurant, lounge and spa, and "sharp" staffers "take care of things immediately" -- "just remember to have fun and don't care about the cost"
