The Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards officially announced its 2023 winners for the Top 15 Hotels in the Mid-Atlantic and Philly made the list — six times, in fact.
Not only did the City of Brotherly Love get featured more than any other city in the Mid-Atlantic category, but three distinguished Philly hotels broke the top five.

The highly anticipated Readers’ Choice Awards is the travel industry’s longest-running accolades list (and one of the most highly regarded). Over half a million Condé Nast Traveler readers participated in the survey and hotels were considered after receiving a minimum number of votes. This year’s winning hotels were decided based on readers’ overall five-point rating, which included service, accessibility, location, community and overall experience.
The featured hotels — and their placements — were:
- No. 2 | AKA Rittenhouse Square: An intimate boutique hotel perfect for long stays, with spacious contemporary suites and full gourmet kitchens
- No. 3 | The Logan, Philadelphia’s Hotel: A 391-room luxury complex with a rooftop bar and lounge, a steakhouse, and a hidden-away full-service spa
- No. 5 | Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia at Comcast Center: A hotel atop the tallest building in Philadelphia, offering a rooftop infinity pool and award-winning culinary experiences
- No. 6 | The River House at Odette’s: A historic riverside hotel in New Hope with quaint rooms and a praise-worthy piano bar
- No. 7 | The Rittenhouse: One of the most awarded luxury hotels in Philly, featuring elegant amenities like the Mary Cassatt Tea Room and a 15,000-square-foot spa, and
- No. 8 | The Warwick Hotel, Rittenhouse Square: A sleek and stylish hotel with upscale dining, a massive fitness center and a legendary hair salon.
