A little History on the Bellevue:

The Bellevue-Stratford opened its doors in 1904 and became known worldwide as Philadelphia's pre-eminent hotel, nicknamed The Grande Dame of Broad Street.​

 

Designed in the French Renaissance style, The Bellevue features Gilded Age architectural flourishes including a magnificent two-tiered ballroom with delicate light fixtures designed by Thomas Alva Edison, stained glass by Louis Comfort Tiffany, chandeliers by Lalique and a celebrated cast-iron circular staircase.


​

Located at the heart of Center City, The Bellevue is located on the corner of Broad & Walnut Streets, along Philadelphia's Avenue of the Arts, three blocks from City Hall.
