and now a member of the leading Hersha Hospitality Group. Hersha hired Cohere to reposition the spa and their wellness components to help the hotel win "Best Luxury Hotel in the Country" and attract the high-end clientele they are accustomed to serving, but with a new angle. We completed a brand strategy, new repositioning plan, messaging, brand evolution and upgrade of the space with them.

The Rittenhouse Hotel is recognized as the only independent Forbes Five-Star Hotel in Philadelphia.


HHM has a wide portfolio of hotel brands and operations in Philadelphia and beyond. As a signature portfolio piece, 

 had an existing graphic identity and presence, though, ownership felt it could use a deeper brand story and touch points to maintain its position as a leader in the luxury space. 

As new hotels and luxury experiences came online across the city, this stalwart brand wanted to retain what makes it special, while inviting a new audience to experience it as guests 

Cohere was engaged to create a deeper narrative, visual toolkit, and refresh the brand's messaging, tone, and creative presence. The goal was simple: Refresh and reposition the Rittenhouse Hotel as the continued #1 luxury hotel in Philadelphia.

The property most recently served as a cherished neighborhood retirement residence, "Penn Home," for 150 years.

Though the streets give the new hotel concept its name, the hotel's brand narrative celebrates the two fictional sisters who are representative of the building that once served as a women’s asylum and later one of the city’s earliest retirement homes.

Built with ornate details and architectural flourish, the client fully renovated this 1769 "home for indigent widows and single women" and the property's restoration has been thoughtfully considered, with the oversight of the Philadelphia Historical Commission, to preserve its historic character and original charm. Cohere was enlisted to conceptualize the entire brand identity, narrative, and creative materials.

Cohere facilitated the strategy and advisory, guiding the property owner through the branding process, ultimately partnering with 

Embracing a history of women-led community & hospitality in a world class boutique destination, the Hotel Anna & Bel exudes personality throughout the intimate rooms, courtyard and common areas which recall the connections that were made here over generations.



These halls have known many stories over the centuries, and now it’s time for a new chapter. When crafting the brand for Hotel Anna & Bel, we asked ourselves: What does it mean to reimagine the hospitality, comfort, and beloved community in a new boutique hotel experience?

The essence of the Anna & Bel narrative shows itself throughout the brand with illustrative marks and thoughtful copy to create a brand has an alluring flare, an understated yet memorable point of view, and a light feminine touch.


Cohere handled press strategy, relations, and management on behalf of good neighbor for the launch of their new boutique hotel in Baltimore, MD. The 

 is a hotel that features seven unique, design-forward, thoughtfully curated spaces that are a fully shoppable experience. This concept places beloved global brands alongside the craftsmanship and skill of local artisans and makers in Baltimore.

Adding a deeper layer of storytelling to the nuanced and dynamic good neighbor brand, the guesthouse launched with specific and targeted coverage from national travel and design-focused media such as

"Walking up the steps to the hotel entry is transportive. First, a porch with big jute rugs and Donald Juddesque furniture, buffered from the street by weathered steel guardrails and loads of plants, provides a hint of what’s to come." - Jack Balderrama Morley, 

As part of our engagement with good neighbor, Cohere is providing leadership advisory, consulting on strategic growth opportunities, new market research, and raising capital. As a strategic partner, Cohere and good neighbor are engaged in long-term planning to support the longevity and success of this growing brand.
