Kimpton Hotel Palomar Wedding: The Complete Guide to This Two-Floor Boutique Rittenhouse Venue

Kimpton Hotel Palomar Philadelphia accommodates anywhere from 2 to 140 guests across two unique venues on the 24th and 25th floors, with the 1,750-square-foot 25th-floor ballroom holding up to 100 wedding guests. Here’s the fuller guide.

Genuine Two-Floor Ceremony-to-Reception Flow

Rather than a single event space, Hotel Palomar uses two connected floors — the 24th for cocktails, the 25th for ceremony and banquet — giving your day a natural, built-in flow between spaces.

What the Space Actually Feels Like

Expect boutique, design-forward Kimpton styling across both floors, with the 25th floor serving as your main ceremony and banquet space.

Ceremony

The 25th floor serves as the main space for both ceremony and banquet — confirm specific layout options during your tour.

Cocktail Hour

The 24th floor is specifically designed as an ideal cocktail reception space, distinct from the ceremony and banquet floor above.

Reception

The 1,750-square-foot ballroom on the 25th floor accommodates up to 100 wedding guests, with overall venue flexibility from 2 to 140 guests.

Practical Planning: What the Venue's Own Site Won't Tell You

Pricing. Weddings are priced from $250 to $4,950 for 50 guests — reasonable value for Center City Philadelphia, according to reviews.

Genuine small-to-mid flexibility. With capacity from just 2 guests up to 140, Hotel Palomar suits everything from an elopement to a mid-size celebration.

Two-floor flow. The dedicated cocktail floor below the ceremony and banquet floor creates a natural progression through your event without needing to relocate to a different building.

Best Light and Timing for Photography

Ask your coordinator about the views from both the 24th and 25th floors, since a Rittenhouse-area high-rise setting likely offers strong city backdrops for portraits.

Who This Venue Is Really For

Kimpton Hotel Palomar suits couples who want genuine boutique character and a natural two-floor event flow, at reasonable value for Center City, for a wedding from 2 up to 140 guests.
