The Bellevue Hotel

This did not start well. Certainly not the experience you would expect from a luxury hotel. Valet backed up down the street, room not ready at 4:30 PM, no place to have a drink while we wait. Restaurant not serving alcohol on a Friday?!? Never offered to take our bags or show us where to sit while we wait. Crowded lobby. Let’s hope this gets better, but high end? Definitely not.

Rooms are spacious, clean, and well appointed. Be sure to request a window or else you risk an interior room and you’ll never know if it’s day or night. Also be prepared to be completely ignored by the staff and if you dine at the 19th floor restaurant be sure to bring your own blanket or winter gear because they tend to run out of blankets to offer and for some reason it was unbearably cold.

The Bellevue is a great hotel. The location on Broad Street is perfect. There is a train station right outside the front steps. The room was spacious and clean. The staff were welcoming and friendly. I found everything here worth the value and will definitely stay here again. This hotel is listed in the AmEx Fine Hotels collection, and it meets expectations!

I was delayed for seating because I had open toed shoes. Even though my sandals costs over $250. I was surprised because they let folks seat in the restaurant with shorts and sneakers. A bit disappointing indeed.

Awesome hotel in Philadelphia! Beautiful entrance, lobby, and bar on the 19th floor. Friendly staff. We will absolutely return if ever in the area!
