Great building and great value, almost unbeatable for this part of town!

The Wellington is a pre-war apartment building located on the north end of Rittenhouse Square. If you want to live right on Rittenhouse, but need to keep your living expenses more reasonable (relatively speaking)...The Wellington is a great option! This building has almost no amenities beyond the doorman service, but again, if your priority is location, then this will suit! Plus, the building is a mixed residence so you won't constantly feel like you live in a Wharton MBA dorm.

What you get: more space for your dollar, a building that's smaller where you don't feel like one of a thousand residents, great quality of features in room, fantastic staff/maintenance, location that can't be topped
What you don't get: gym, meeting rooms, other amenities, lower floors don't get as much sunlight, a bunch of building events

Good overall experience, although sometimes the doormen are using their cellphones and don't pay attention to the residents. Maintenance requests sometimes get forgotten.

I've had a great experience at the Wellington --- the doorman are great, and I haven't had any issues with my apartment since I moved in over a year ago. The only negative is that it's an Allan Domb property, although I haven't ever seen his around. He doesn't have a good reputation with many people in Philly, but his owning the building hasn't affected me at all. I cannot say enough great things about this building --- location is absolutely perfect.

Overpriced, but I love the location. Still, with a little bit of work, you could probably still find a better deal near Rittenhouse Square…

Charming apartment building in a great location for a great price. Older building, but my unit was recently renovated so had everything I needed. No amenities like parking, gym, study rooms, but if you don't need those things, then it's a great option.

Downside is there is no gym.

Great location and great value only if you get a studio. Doorman and reception workers are very friendly. Studios don't have washing/drying machines in unit but there is a laundry room downstairs (only works with quarters!!)

Great location and value, but not very social.
