Accommodations
Experience one of Philadelphia’s most iconic destinations. Inspired by French Renaissance fashion and architecture, George C. Boldt's vision for The Bellevue was brought to life by architect GW and WD Hewitt in 1881, the first step towards Boldt's reputation as 'Father of the Modern American Hotel'.
Located in the heart of the city’s Theater District, The Bellevue is lovingly known as "The Grande Dame of Broad Street" and appears on the U.S. List of Registered Historical Places. The doors to the famed Bellevue-Stratford Hotel opened in 1904 at the corner of Broad and Walnut Streets. Taking two years to complete, the Bellevue-Stratford was described at the time as the most luxurious hotel in the nation offering 1,090 guest rooms, the most magnificent ballroom in the United States and stunning lighting fixtures designed by Thomas Edison which still exists in the building today.
