Bellevue-Stratford Hotel

the glamour of the old world meets the creative spirit of the new inside the bellevue hotel- in the unbound collection by hyatt. as philadelphia’s only hotel on the national register of historic places, the bellevue hotel occupies a storied place on south broad street in center city. the ornate architecture and decoration that made “the grand dame of broad street” famous can still be seen today. numerous u.s. presidents have stayed in the hotel’s lavish suites over the past decades, and the grand ballroom has hosted national conventions and major sporting events. the hotel has even made culinary history: one of its earliest chefs, william “bill” king, is credited with the invention of chicken à la king. today it stands as one of the most iconic structures on the avenue of the arts, and remains host to grand occasions on philadelphia’s social calendar.
