Editing Two Liberty Place (section)

== Ritz-Carlton Hotel ==

The conversion of Two Liberty Place's upper floors to the Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia, completed in 2018, reflected changing real estate conditions that made hotel use economically attractive. The luxury hotel occupies floors 29 through 58, with a 30th-floor lobby that provides dramatic city views. The conversion required substantial modification of former office floors to accommodate hotel rooms, restaurants, and amenities, demonstrating the flexibility of commercial buildings to adapt to changing markets.<ref name="thomas"/>

The Ritz-Carlton's presence adds residential character to a previously commercial tower, bringing round-the-clock activity and visitors seeking luxury urban experience. The hotel's success has encouraged additional hospitality development in Center City, as developers recognize the market for high-end accommodations serving business travelers, tourists, and event attendees. Two Liberty Place's mixed-use character—offices below, hotel above—represents an increasingly common approach to urban high-rise development.<ref name="gallery"/>
