Oprah, Samuel L. Jackson, and Baryshnikov have all tucked into Philly’s newly renovated Rittenhouse Square Bed and Breakfast. A circa-1911 mansion, the joint is a bit over-the-top in its froufrou plushness (think taffeta, flowers, and repro Louis XVI furniture), but that’s part of the fun. Rittenhouse Square itself is in the heart of Philadelphia’s arts district, so take in a concert at the new glass-topped Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts—home of Philly’s orchestra and chamber society—then indulge in the Versailles-like gastronomic excess at Le Bec Fin, the city’s best French restaurant. Or take advantage of your bed-and-breakfast’s alliance with some of downtown’s other top restaurants (Opus 251, Rouge, Devon, and Striped Bass), which will deliver meals right to your room.
