The Bellevue Hotel

The Bellevue is a gorgeous historic hotel in center city Philadelphia. It is beautifully updated but retains the historic charm of the original property. I traveled with two friends and our Deluxe 2 Queen room was very spacious and was beyond enough room for the three of us. The property comes with access to The Sporting Club next door which is a world class fitness facility and is an amazing amenity to have access to as a hotel guest. We enjoyed yoga classes there each morning and wish I had had more time to spend there during our stay.

Incredible hotel post renovations - gym is first class and a key differentiator in all hotels. Genesis at the front desk accommodated all our requests and needs - 5 stars all around. Rooms are nicely updated, breakfast is quite lovely and reasonable at $28pp for the buffet.

The Bellevue is as nice a hotel as I've stayed in anywhere, and was pleasantly surprised to find such a great hotel in Center City Philadelphia. Staff was great, and the hotel is a beautiful blend of old and new with all the modern conveniences in the room wrapped in a beautiful old time hotel feel in the architecture and design/decor. Breakfast buffet and menu are excellent, and staff was extremely attentive and accommodating. On top of everything else, the gym is not only the best hotel gym I've ever seen, it's literally the nicest gym I've ever seen anywhere, including LifeTime, Equinox, etc. A tremendous perk of staying at the Bellevue. I'm definitely going to book the Bellevue for all other future trips to Philly.

The sporting club is the most advanced facility I've ever had the pleasure of training in, and the atmosphere is incredible. I did not stay in the hotel, but I had the opportunity to visit the sporting club and train with my friends who were staying at the Bellevue. I was impressed by the sheer scope of options and amenities available, including a cold plunge, HIIT training, and court sports. The boxing gym was immaculate, the weight room and machines were state of the art, and there was always a machine open for me. The pool, lockers, and steam/sauna were all magnificent. I am not an influencer myself, but I did take note of several personalities in the cafe area and thus I would also describe it as a good place to network. It's clear that this is a fitness destination for serious players in the industry, as well as anyone who takes pride in their training regimen. The staff are professionals. I'd like to commend Isaiah in particular, who was very helpful and cordial. TLDR- visit the sporting club before you drop hundreds a month at equinox or lifetime. Grab a room at the Bellevue just for the sake of trying the gym and you won't be disappointed.

We had a wonderful time at the elegant Bellevue and loved the warm staff and beautiful accommodations! We loved our access to The Sports Club and look forward to returning to the hotel one day when the room service and spa are up and running (renovations are in progress) And they really went above and beyond - while I was on the train home, I realized I’d left an AirPod behind. I called the front desk, the Assistant Manager took the time to go search our room, find the AirPod and mail it back to me. Only thing to note: some of the rooms are marked as “courtyard view.” This courtyard is actually an indoor conservatory, so if you pick this room, you may not have any natural light. Just wanted to share as I would definitely pick the “city view” option in the future for more natural light.
