Elegant Bride

Oprah Winfrey, Samuel L. Jackson and Mikhail Baryshnikov stay at the Rittenhouse Square Bed and Breakfast when in Philadelphia, but the inn is almost as famous for who didn’t sleep here. It actually turned away the boys from ‘N Sync who were in town for an NBA All-Star weekend. We promise, however, that this B&B can host your wedding party or a honeymoon. The renovated 1911 carriage house, with 10 rooms and two suites, sits a half-block from the English gardens of Rittenhouse Square, one of the few public places designed by William Penn. Rooms have Frette linens, marble baths, 24-hour concierge service, a continental breakfast of artisanal breads and complimentary wine in the afternoon.
