Guests of The Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia can now indulge in one of the most hedonistic luxuries—a butler-drawn bath from an extensive menu of relaxing and revitalizing varieties.

The bath serves as an antidote to jetlag for long distance travelers, an opportunity to self-indulge, a romantic interlude, or a much-anticipated reward at the end of a successful business day. Guests need only make a reservation and a butler will arrive to draw the bath—complete with tailored food and beverage presentation and special amenities.

Each spacious marble-tiled bathroom features tubs sunken into a marble pedestal, separate shower stall and water closet. Many tubs are set directly beneath a window with a spectacular city view—complete with remote control blinds. Other bathing facilities are set by a huge mirror which completes the experience. The wooden granite topped vanity features a pullout table top on which to rest your choice of food and beverage.

"It’s our most fervent desire to provide an experience which truly enlivens the senses," says Francois Cnockaert, general manager of The Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia. "It is a delight to provide our guests a chance to not only enhance their stay, but also to have an opportunity to relax and rejuvenate. The bath menu will allow for a truly memorable experience."
