"It's no longer the grandest quarters in town (that honor goes to the Rittenhouse), but empty nesters and business types still relish the traditional grandeur."

Guests have access to The Sporting Club at the Bellevue, an enormous complex designed by Michael Graves where the governor of Pennsylvania chooses to get sweaty when he's in town.
