Great choice
Hotel was charming and location was really good, walking distance from almost everything (art museums, historical part of town / old town, restaurants, shops) and the room was very spacious.
Bathroom could use an improvement, and breakfast could have more variety (more fruits options, other non-carb options).

The Franklin was the perfect quaint spot for my husband and I who traveled to Philadephia for a quick getaway! From the moment we walked through the door (at 1am I might add) to the moment we left we were treated with respect, and kidness. We had a few needs that were immediately met and taken care of with a smile. Our room was stuffy, and we were moved to a new room at no problem. The location was perfectly located to access all of the spots Philadelphia offers. I would stay here again!

Love this little nugget!
Love the location and staff here! Our room was a bit stuffy, but otherwise, gorgeous and comfortable. We used the portable fan and it was helpful. The staff are amazing - so helpful and kind!

Don't think twice! Make a reservation today!
I would highly recommend the Franklin on Rittenhouse for the location, friendly service, plush beds, ambience and comfort.
The free continental breakfast menu was perfect with a good variety and seating area was inviting.
We walked everywhere and only took Ubers when necesary. I can't wait to return!

What a delightful spot! This hotel takes it to another level. The rooms are adorable, homey, yet modern & redone. The staff is super friendly and top-notch. I’ll be staying there the next time I’m in town.
