The Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia welcomes visitors in a landmark inspired by the Pantheon in Rome. It rests in the heart of Center City, three blocks from the Pennsylvania Convention Center and a short walk from the city's best shopping, dining, and performance hall. The pale marble steps, massive marble columns, and soaring domed lobby lend a memorable note of importance to groups' arrival.
A pillow menu and bath butler illustrate the level of in-room pampering; guests can also visit the Richel D'Ambra Spa & Salon on-site. Ӭ
Meeting planners find more than 26,000 square feet of event space, including nine neoclassical meeting rooms supported by the latest in audiovisuals. Banquets for up to 300 people gather in the Petite and Grand Ballrooms, where the all-American catering options ring especially true in the City of Brotherly Love. Ӭ

Recommendation to Planners:
The Ritz-Carlton in Philadelphia is located in a refurbished old bank, so the meeting spaces are generally odd in shape. The largest space has large pillars/columns in the center of the room, so difficult to accommodate a large group. The event sales staff was incredibly accommodating, though, and extremely pleasant to work with. Top-notch dining and food/beverage.
Overall Rating: 4.1/5
