The Adolf Biecker Spa and Salon at the Rittenhouse Hotel, Philadelphia

The most prestigious address in the city of Philadelphia, the AAA Five-Diamond Rittenhouse hotel, is also ranked among the world's finest places to stay. And its intimate spa, the Adolf Biecker Spa and Salon, has been awarded as one of the top five spas in the nation. Located on the hotel's third floor, the spa is a gorgeous and serene sanctuary in the heart of the bustling metropolis. As featured in the September 2006 issue of American Spa Magazine, the 10,100 square-ft Aveda-concept spa offers a glimpse of "the good life" for those fortunate enough to be pampered inside. It is a complete health and beauty complex, offering a full menu of treatments and services (from massage to haircutting and styling), along with a health club and nail salon. The Adolf Biecker Spa and Salon is the first in the area to feature a Vichy shower room. With its menu designed for high-end pampering, this is a favorite for groups of professionals and bridal parties.
