Extreme Hospitality adds The Franklin on Rittenhouse, a boutique lifestyle hotel located in Center City, Philadelphia, to its portfolio of managed properties. This addition further adds to Extreme Hospitality’s presence in the Mid-Atlantic.
Located steps from Philadelphia’s iconic Rittenhouse Square, The Franklin on Rittenhouse is an intimate boutique hotel celebrated for its elevated guest experience, refined design and premier urban location. The property attracts both leisure and business travelers seeking a sophisticated, neighborhood-centric stay in one of the city’s most vibrant and walkable districts.
Anchoring the hotel’s identity is its speakeasy, Franklin Mortgage & Investment Company, named after what was once considered the largest alcohol ring in the country during the Prohibition era. That rebellious legacy continues to shape the hotel’s distinctive personality and guest experience.
Extreme Hospitality will focus on enhancing operational efficiencies, optimizing revenue performance, and elevating guest engagement strategies while preserving the unique character and authentic sense of place that define The Franklin’s boutique positioning and iconic brand presence.
“We are proud to welcome The Franklin on Rittenhouse to our portfolio,” Eric Rubino, principal of Extreme Hospitality, said in a statement. “This is a truly distinctive asset in one of Philadelphia’s most charming neighborhoods. Our approach will balance disciplined operational oversight with thoughtful stewardship of the hotel’s boutique identity and celebrated nightlife experience.”
