About this property

Rittenhouse Mansion -City Centre Rittenhouse Mansion - 8BR / roof deck

Mansion In Rittenhouse Square. 8 Bedrooms (7 Queen. 1 King. ). 2 Kitchens.

This home is a stunner! Built in 1845, and at almost 8,000 sq ft you will go back in time and do it in style. You’ll also enjoy easy access to the best of Philadelphia from this centrally located mansion with Rittenhouse Square two blocks away.

Many of the properties original 19th Century details are on display from the moment you enter. The Grand Parlour, located just inside the front door, is one of the largest private rooms in the city and contains a secondary Formal Dining area, Pool Table and Double Lounge.

The house contains two full kitchens - to be certain you can feed your entire group - without walking up or down more than one floor.

You will absolutely love the roof deck and sunbathing area in the warmer months. The city vista views are literally only available from this location - positioned above every other in this historic part of Philadelphia. All year round, 1822 Pine is within walking distance of the best shops, restaurants, and museums in the city.

Features 8 bedrooms (8 beds) across five suites. The house sleeps up to 16 people in its current configuration, leaving multiple living rooms and works spaces for enjoying time with your guests! Just as you would expect in such a grand home. A further 5 bathrooms are placed in each suite. Please note, that the primary dining room table can only seat 12 for dinner service. Additional tables can be made available for a larger seating of 16 but require management prior arrangements.

The second-floor suites each have one bedroom and a living room: The Master - Emily Drexel Suite (2nd floor rear) and The Library Suite (2nd Floor Front). The Library Suite is the largest in the house and would originally have made up the ladies sitting room and house library. This suite includes room for living and working; and further includes a wet bar for entertaining and a 70Inch 4K TV. Our guests often choose to leave this suite vacant so that it can be enjoyed by all.

The third floor front of the house contains the Mansion Suite with two bedrooms and a bath (likely also the original master bedroom apartments). The 3rd floor rear contains the second kitchen and entertainment lounge + rear terrace (no bedrooms).

The fourth floor has two more suites front and rear: The Pine Street Suite and Waverley Street Suite (named after the streets they look out upon) - each have two bedrooms and a bathroom (total of 4 bedrooms).

The ample number of living spaces and private suites make this Rittenhouse Mansion a unique experience and a perfect fit for a family gathering in Philadelphia and a great event space for Companies, Universities, and Wedding Parties.

We have a FIRM NO PARTY POLICY. There are noise and crowd sensors that will sound in the house and also alert management if they detect sustained levels above 79 Decibels. Repeated breaches of the sound levels or unnamed guests on the premises will RESULT IN FULL FORFEITURE OF THE SECURITY DEPOSIT and potentially result in IMMEDIATE EVICTION of the property should the police be called. We expect you to enjoy your time at 1822 Pine, but do so respecting the home and its neighborhood. The house is a piece of history and needs to be treated as such. Thank you :)

For those who are interested in hosting dinner parties of 16 or less at the property, please reach out separately for advice or support with making arrangements. We have catering and event organizers that are familiar with the property and can assist in making special occasions - special.

All guests assume the risk of injury or loss to person or property in conjunction with the use of the roof deck.

The house has a team of support personnel to handle guest inquires, urgent maintenance, and whatever other support your party might require.

Great Spot!
Our 6 year old grandson, after an 8 hour trip across the country, exclaimed upon arrival, “this place is a mansion, worth the long trip!” Great place for our lively family to enjoy the best of downtown Philadelphia, and congratulations to the new family addition. Cheers, the Perry’s.

PERFECT Rittenhouse Weekend
My friends and I are all from the area and we decided to do a Rittenhouse weekend and this was THE perfect place to do it! The house is absolutely stunning and has everything you’d ever want! None of us wanted to leave! Communication was also great and everything was so easy and organized. Would love to stay again!!

An absolute gem—and perfect for large families!
This home was gorgeous and comfortable! 14 of us from a family stayed, and there was room to spare for us all. The property is stunning, and the location in Philly cannot be near. The host was incredibly responsive and friendly, too. The next time we need a place to stay in Philly, I know where I am headed back to.

House and location were a great fit for our stay in Philly.
The house is beautiful and the location is wonderful. It was perfect setting for our family to gather for a wedding. Some features of the house were worn, the carpets were gross. The house was very clean, just very worn. Things could be easily updated to add to the quality of the stay. The AC and TV did not work in the second master suite. The shower in the second master suite did not turn on or off without great effort. There was no water for a time in another suite. Diana, the property manager was amazing, she was responsive and engaging, immediately addressing the problems we encountered with the house. Communication with the host was difficult, days to weeks with no response. Host did meet our requests when he responded, which we appreciated. Just not the quality of stay that we’ve enjoyed with hosts of other large homes with the same price point.

5 Star Experience @ Rittenhouse Square
Had an amazing stay at this truly special, comfortable and unique property. We were a group of 14. The mansion had lots of room for everyone to have their own space along with space to spend time together. The kitchen was fully equipped, which allowed us to cook breakfast each day along with a multi-course dinner one evening. The location couldn't be better. We could walk to everything!! The street is very quiet and private, yet close enough to all of the Philly action. Highly Recommend!

Great house in a great location
Our family rented this house for a local wedding. There are a lot of stairs but that keeps the bedroom suites private and quiet! Very well setup and easy communication with the owner. Lovely kitchen with a great dining room for family dinner. The rooftop is amazing in the evening! Loved it!

Unique historic property for large groups
We've rented a number of houses in downtown Philadelphia for our family get-togethers. This property is unique in a number of ways: - Large number of bedrooms and bathrooms: we fit 7 couples with 3 kids pretty comfortably; there is enough space where everyone can get their privacy. - Big living room: few properties like this have such a large shared room - Fantastic location (near Rittenhouse Square) and very historic home. It was also very quiet. It's not cheap- but well worth it if you are large group and want to stay together in a great part of Philadelphia.

Beautiful home
We love the home!!! The layout is perfect. We had a baby shower which took place in the parlor room. The kitchen was well stocked with anything we needed and the butler’s pantry was a welcomed surprise. The dining room is beautiful and felt so cozy. Our family members spent the weekend and all the bedrooms provided ample space. Thank you so much for opening up your home. It is a special place.

Exceptional Experience
The pictures don't do this house and its location justice! We were a group of 10 and we had plenty of room to spread out or hang out together. Pool table, 2 tv rooms, rooftop deck - we enjoyed them all. The ground floor kitchen and dining room were plenty big enough for us to bring in meals and dine together. We were able to walk to great bars and restaurants, as well as to public transportation to the Sports Complex (10 min walk, 10 min subway ride). Property manager was very responsive to our questions and sent comprehensive instructions ahead of check in and check out. He even provided complimentary coffee pods and snacks. Each bedroom was big with comfortable beds. And although some of the bathrooms are small (understandable for such a historic house), it's well worth the tradeoff for such a great place. I can't imagine a better set up in Center City for a group stay!

Elegant and Outstanding
The purpose of the stay was for a business purpose. There was a sales meeting at the convention center, and the property was outstanding. The property is beautifully maintained and offers so many amenities. What made this property so special for our sales team, is it allowed the team to collect their thoughts and map out their sales strategy in a tranquil and relaxing setting. Also, the detail that the property manager goes to enhance your stay is amazing. He's a great communicator. He knows the area and offers suggestions that will enhance your stay. To summarize this property is an outstanding value due to its spaciousness, modern amenities. All while maintaining its Philadelphia roots. Definitely check out this property, you'll be glad you did.

Nice, big, old, multi appartement home no living-room
We stayed for 2 nights. Location is great. Excellent air conditioning system as the city was very hot. Excellent beds. Confortable kitchen It’s not really a house. It’s more of a multi appartement home with a lot of bedroom with small living attached, but no leaving room to be at first floor. A little dated but charming. Would benefit of a good deep cleaning of shower and bath. Overall good and very good host.

Great for a group and central walkable location
This place was perfect for a big group in town for a wedding. We all got our own rooms, plenty of bathrooms to get ready in, and lots of places to hang out together. I wish we had more time to enjoy the amazing roof deck. The location was fantastic easily walking to coffee shops, restaurants, bars, and S Broad to City Hall Square, we had everything we needed. We even stopped by the cute farmers market at Rittenhouse Square Saturday morning. Robertson was very responsive ahead of our stay and provided us with all of the info needed ahead of time, we didn’t even need to contact him. We were all so happy with the house, location, and overall stay, we couldn’t have asked for more!

What makes this property unique

How many people get to live life like it was in the 1850's? Imagine staff quarters and your entire extended family living in this building. As many as 30 people may have lived and worked in this building at its peak. It would have been a busy place! The house is divided into 5 separate "suites" or living areas where each branch of an extended family could be comfortable in their own apartments while sharing the common areas. Of course, it won't be so crowded for your stay! You'll have over 8K square feet to yourself! Enjoy the high ceilings and the historical detail while you are a guest at 1822 Pine - and absolutely take advantage of all that this location has to offer in the great city of Philadelphia!
