a night than at the Ritten-

house. Its iconic address

Lokal Hotel

If feeling at home is a priority,

Lokal’s Old City property has

with concrete counters and a

virtual concierge, in a location

Although there are now 30

locations throughout the

U.S., homegrown roaster La

Colombe is still the essential

spot for coffee breaks.

The Rittenhouse location

is all understated elegance.
