OT - High-End Hotels in Philly?

[T2Kplus10]

Okay, I know this is going to be labeled a "rich person's problem" but what the hell (and FYI, we are in no ways rich). :)

We spend a night/weekend in Philly a few times a year and always stay at the Four Seasons on Logan Square. Well, we recently found out the Four Seasons is no longer managing the hotel (as of next week) and it is closing for 6 months to rehab then it will reopen as an independent hotel.

The new Four Season is going to be built in the new Comcast building (yes, they are building a new skyscraper right next to the existing one), but it won't open until 2018.

So, does anything have any good recommendations for a high-end hotel in Philly? We have read about the Rittenhouse and it sounds like a possibility. Thoughts and comments please.

The Lowes on Market St in Center City is in a class with the Ritz and the Ritenhouse.

I personally liked the Sofitel over the Ritenhouse.

I personally liked the Sofitel over the Ritenhouse.

Any reason why? Location or the hotel itself?

Klimpton Palomar is very nice.

I like the palomar too but the Sofitel is a better value. Rooms are bigger in Ritenhouse but Sofitel is more modern. Location for all 3 hotels are the same.
