What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Once inside, the place has a swank, subtle charm, with the feel of an urban country club for the city's go-getter in-crowd.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Perched along the Schuylkill River in Center City West, the building sits steps from 30th Street Station and a short stroll from Rittenhouse Square.
The rooms
Industrial accents frame exposed concrete columns, paired with custom furnishings, Frette linens, and bathrooms fitted with pale Calacatta Cielo marble sinks.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The gym and pool
A two-story gym floor sits beneath industrial concrete pillars, beside a 75-foot indoor lap pool and wood-lined saunas.
Restaurant
The Dining Room
Teal banquettes and marble tables look out across the Schuylkill River over seasonal New American dishes.
At the table
A backlit fluted counter wraps concrete pillars at the bar, where bartenders pour craft cocktails beside charred wood paneling.
How it began
Founder David Gutstadt transformed the former Marketplace Design Center into a modern clubhouse, opening the 14-room boutique retreat in 2019.
