Dining room set for sixteen beneath a crystal chandelier at The Rittenhouse Residence

Group Stays

One house for the whole group.

Sixteen people, eight bedrooms, one dining table that seats everyone — two blocks from Rittenhouse Square. Family reunions, corporate retreats, and celebration weekends all work here for the same reason: nobody splits across hotel floors, and the evening ends in the same parlor it started in.

The Group Math

$1,600 a night sounds different divided by sixteen.

The starting rate covers the entire house — every bedroom, both kitchens, both parlors, the dining room, and the roof deck. At full occupancy that works out to $200 per bedroom, or $100 per guest, per night. Final pricing changes by date and season, so treat the math as the starting point and request a direct quote for your dates.

Comparing against hotel rooms for the same group? We wrote that comparison honestly, tradeoffs included.

Where everyone sleeps

Eight bedrooms across floors two through four: two king beds and six queens, with six full bathrooms keeping the mornings civil. Bedrooms sit on the upper floors of a five-floor townhouse — there is no elevator, which is worth knowing before you assign rooms.

Family Reunions

Family reunions

Three generations at one address, with five floors of room to be together and apart. The house seats everyone at one table, sleeps sixteen across eight bedrooms, and sits two blocks from a park the kids can run in.

The stairs, stated up front

This is a five-floor historic townhouse with no elevator, and every bedroom sits on floors two through four. Plan around that honestly: give the second-floor bedrooms to grandparents and anyone who minds stairs, and send the sure-footed to the fourth floor. If mobility is a real concern for someone in your group, contact us before booking and we will walk through the layout plainly.

Connecting rooms for parents with kids

Two of the fourth-floor bedrooms connect, which is the practical answer for families with younger children who want to stay within earshot. Across the house there are eight bedrooms — two kings and six queens — so couples, siblings, cousins, and solo travelers all land somewhere that fits, and six full baths keep the mornings moving.

One table, two kitchens

Reunions run on meals. The dining room seats all sixteen at one table, the primary kitchen sits beside it, and a second kitchen upstairs keeps coffee and cereal from bottlenecking at 7 AM. Di Bruno Bros and Trader Joe's are both an easy walk for provisioning, and Rittenhouse Square is two blocks north when the kids need to run.

Corporate Retreats

Corporate retreats

Lodging for a team that actually wants to see each other: one address instead of a hallway of hotel doors, gigabit WiFi throughout, and a dining table that seats all sixteen of you at once.

One address, not a hotel hallway

The point of an offsite is the time between sessions, and that time disappears when the team scatters to separate hotel rooms each night. Here the whole team stays under one roof: coffee happens in the same kitchen, the evening conversation happens in the same parlor, and nobody coordinates a lobby meeting time.

Room to think in smaller groups

Two parlors give a team two natural breakout spaces, the dining table seats sixteen when everyone works through something together, and the roof deck offers a change of air when a conversation needs one. Gigabit WiFi runs throughout the house, with smart TVs for anything that needs a screen.

Getting the team here

Amtrak's 30th Street Station is about twenty minutes on foot or a short ride, which makes the house practical for teams arriving by train. From the airport, SEPTA's Airport Line runs to Center City. Once everyone arrives, no cars are needed — restaurants, coffee, and the Square are all walkable from Pine Street.

Celebration Weekends

Celebration weekends

Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, and long-promised gatherings of friends — celebrated the way this house does it best: a long dinner at one table, not a crowd.

The rules first, because they matter

Read this before you book: no parties or events, no smoking anywhere, and quiet hours apply — this is a historic house on a residential block. If your idea of a celebration is a crowd and a sound system, this is the wrong house, and we would rather say so now.

What works beautifully here

A dinner weekend. Sixteen people who matter to each other, a dining table that seats every one of them, two kitchens to cook in, and two parlors to retire to afterward. A sixtieth birthday, a fortieth anniversary, a reunion of old friends: the celebration is the long evening at the table.

The late hours, done right

After dinner the house keeps giving: the full-size pool table, conversation in the parlors, and the private roof deck for a quiet nightcap over Center City. Overnight guests only — the house sleeps sixteen, and the weekend belongs to the people staying in it.

House Rules

The rules, stated plainly.

We publish these up front because the right group reads them with relief: the same rules that rule out a party are what guarantee your grandmother sleeps well on the second floor.

  • No parties or events — the house is for the group staying in it.
  • Quiet hours apply. This is a residential block and a historic house.
  • No smoking or vaping anywhere on the property.
  • No pets.
  • Check-in 4:00 PM · check-out 10:00 AM.

Group Questions

Asked by organizers, answered honestly.

Can grandparents manage the house?

That depends on the grandparents, so we would rather be plain: the house has five floors, no elevator, and all bedrooms are on floors two through four. Many multigenerational groups make it work by assigning second-floor bedrooms to those who mind stairs. If mobility is a serious concern, contact us before booking and we will talk through the layout honestly.

Which bedrooms work best for families with kids?

The two connecting bedrooms on the fourth floor suit parents who want kids within earshot. The fourth floor also has the most stairs, so assign it to the sure-footed.

Is the WiFi good enough for a working retreat?

Yes — gigabit WiFi runs throughout the house, with smart TVs where a screen helps. The dining table seats sixteen, and the two parlors work as separate breakout spaces.

How does a team get here without cars?

Amtrak's 30th Street Station is about twenty minutes on foot or a short ride from the house. SEPTA's Airport Line connects PHL to Center City. Once the team arrives, Center City is walkable; for anyone who drives, paid garages sit within two blocks.

Can we celebrate a milestone birthday or anniversary at the house?

Yes — as a dinner weekend for the group staying overnight. The dining room seats sixteen at one table and the two kitchens support a serious meal. What the house cannot host is a party: no parties or events, and quiet hours apply.

Can extra people join for the evening?

The house is for registered overnight guests, and parties are not permitted. If your weekend involves anyone beyond the overnight group, ask us before booking rather than after — we will give you a straight answer.
