This was my first stay at the Bellevue. It has been beautifully restored, both the public areas and the lodging rooms. I especially appreciated the Nespresso mini coffee maker and mini-fridge.
The hotel is on the block to the north of the Academy of Music, so it was very convenient for my visit to the ballet.
Disabled access is less than ideal, but I understand that they are building a ramp entrance near the front of the lobby. For now, you go to the back entrance and use a little lift to get into the back lobby.
Several excellent restaurants within a block: Estia (Greek), Le Pain Quotidian, and Tuscany Cafe were my favorites.
