Location

First opened in 1904, The Bellevue-Stratford quickly established itself as one of the most celebrated hotels in the nation-designed in the French Renaissance style and renowned as a vibrant gathering place for presidents, royalty, and cultural icons. After decades of prominence, the historic property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 and underwent an extensive restoration beginning in 2021. Reopened in 2024, The Bellevue now stands as a reimagined, multifaceted destination that honors its legacy while welcoming a new generation of travelers, reaffirming its place as The Grand Dame of Broad Street. Its revival has already earned significant industry recognition, including the 2025 AHEAD Americas Awards for Hotel of the Year and Best Guest Rooms, a #6 ranking in Conde Nast Traveler's 2025 Readers' Choice Awards for the Mid-Atlantic, and Gold Key Awards for Best Midscale Lobby and Best Midscale Hotel.
