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, team lodging, 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

One house makes the group math kinder.

Select weekdays may be available from about $1,600 for the whole house. Weekends, holidays, and high-demand dates run higher, and your quote or platform checkout will show the exact total for your stay. At a sample $1,600 weekday rate, that works out to $200 per bedroom — or $100 per guest with sixteen staying. Every stay includes the entire house — every bedroom, both kitchens, all three shared living rooms, the dining room, and the roof deck. For the exact total, tell us your dates and request a personal quote for your group.

Where everyone sleeps

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

Family Reunions

Family reunions

Three generations at one address, with four stories 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 four-story historic townhouse with no elevator, and every bedroom sits above the entrance level. Plan around it: the rear rooms sit on shallower floors than the front, so give a back bedroom to anyone who minds stairs and send the sure-footed to the top. 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 five full baths plus a powder room 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.

Team Stays

Corporate retreat lodging

A shared home base for teammates between sessions held elsewhere: one house instead of a hallway of hotel doors, gigabit WiFi throughout, and a dining table where all sixteen can start or end the day together.

One address, not a hotel hallway

Some of the best time together happens between the scheduled sessions. When those sessions finish at your office or chosen venue, the whole team returns to one house: coffee happens in the same kitchen, the evening conversation happens in the same parlor, and nobody coordinates a hotel-lobby meeting time.

A home base after the agenda

The Grand Parlor, Family Room, Library Lounge, dining table for sixteen, and roof deck give teammates room to unwind together once the day's sessions are over. Gigabit WiFi runs throughout the house for ordinary remote work and calls, but the residence is group lodging rather than a meeting or event venue.

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 three shared living rooms 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 Grand Parlor, Family Room, or Library Lounge, 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.

Can grandparents manage the house?

That depends on the grandparents, so the house is four stories, there is no elevator, and all bedrooms sit above the entrance level — 62 steps from the door to the top. Many multigenerational groups make it work by giving the rear bedrooms, which are a shorter climb, to those who mind stairs. If mobility is a serious concern, contact us before booking and we will talk through the layout.

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.

Can teammates work online during the stay?

Yes — gigabit WiFi runs throughout the house for ordinary remote work and calls. Plan formal sessions at your office or another venue; the residence is shared lodging, not a meeting or event space.

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.
