Philly meets Palm Beach
With a list of collaborations including Pottery Barn Teen, Pottery Barn Kids, Recess and Natalie’s Orchid Island—2024 has been a banner year for Lilly Pulitzer. Now the iconic fashion line is proud to announce they are getting into the hospitality space. They are officially partnering with the Ritz-Carlton in Philadelphia—taking over the Governor's Suite at the Center City hotel for a Summer In Residence.

The two brands couldn’t be a better match. Eleni McCready, Senior Director of Brand Marketing for Lilly Pulitzer tells me, “This partnership with The Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia came to life organically, rooted in a special connection to the Philly community—Lilly Pulitzer's headquarters are located in nearby King of Prussia, adding an intimate layer of charm to our collaboration. Coinciding perfectly with our 65th anniversary, The Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia offers a unique opportunity to celebrate Lilly Pulitzer’s pink toile anniversary print from our Pottery Barn Brands collection. Together, The Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia, and Lilly Pulitzer unite two icons of luxury and style, celebrating our shared dedication to exceptional quality and innovative design.”
Here’s a look inside the beautiful (and shoppable) hotel suite.
Philly, But Make It Palm Beach
Quit and shams from Pottery Barn Teen
Both enchanting and whimsical, the entire suite from the bedroom to the bathroom, and living and dining spaces feature Lilly Pulitzer linens, art, decor, and other touches. Designing the space was truly a collaboration between the legendary fashion brand and hotel. “We worked together as a team to dream what the suite could evolve into and it was a truly enjoyable, collaborative process built from a mutual admiration and respect for each of the brands’ needs,” says McCready. “We walked the space, brainstormed, put together a mood board, and then went into the design phase. It all came together quickly and with superb attention to detail and a desire to delight the guests and create the most memorable summer experience.”
The bedroom most prominently features decor from the brand’s recent collaboration with Pottery Barn Teen and Pottery Barn Kids including a pink Toile Quilt and fun Pineapple Pillow.

The toile pattern continues in the bathroom with matching bath towels, accessorized by the brand’s Pool Cups.
A Lilly living room
The sitting area has a different print with pillows in the yellow Tropical Oasis pattern from Pottery Barn Teen as well as accessories including Two's Company for Lilly Pulitzer Pagoda Frames along with Lilly Pulitzer Electroplated Candles.
Bringing Lilly to the table
Even the dining area is decorated in Lilly style with Printed Melamine Appetizer Plates and a napkin set, along with all the accessories, which are available to purchase from the brand’s website. The Palm Tree Mirror was sourced from Pottery Barn Kids.
Welcome To Hotel Lilly
Lilly in the lobby
Even those who can’t book the suite can partake in the experience because Lilly Pulitzer has put its stamp throughout the property. This includes an orange grove activation in the lobby, ideal for Instagram posts.
Aqimero, the hotel’s restaurant and bar, is offering a secret Lilly Pulitzer menu, including fun cocktails inspired by the brand's iconic prints and vibrant hues with a Latin twist from Master Mixologist, Riesler Morales.
Cheers to the summer
Other brand integrations include breakfast with Lilly X Natalie’s Orchid Island Orange Juice because who doesn’t want to start the day with a fresh glass of liquid Lilly?
