Best Luxury Hotels in Pennsylvania
PA’s premier city, Philadelphia, is the birthplace of America. Visit Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, explore the many museums and art galleries, and indulge in some of the best food and craft beer on the East Coast. Then there’s the city of Pittsburgh, with unmissable views from atop Mount Washington. And the complete change of pace experienced in Amish Country; here you can observe the group’s unique culture and traditions, taste homemade Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine and take a buggy ride through the picturesque countryside. Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains and the waterfalls of Ricketts Glen State Park are also well worth a stop.

The Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia
(5 stars)Set in one of Philly’s aforementioned historic buildings, The Ritz was once the Girard Trust Bank. As such, the public rooms are grand and imperious, with 301 bedrooms taking on a softer, more contemporary feel. The Richel D’Ambra Spa & Salon is very well respected in beauty circles and there’s a Latin-American restaurant in the lobby, to treat your tastebuds. As there’s only one restaurant, if you want access to a further lounge (with complimentary food), you’ll need to book a club suite. While the hotel may look formal, it offers a relaxed approach for families, with an Ocean Futures kids club offering environmentally-themed activities.
