21 Beacon
Currently known as 21 Beacon, this building operated as the Hotel Bellevue for the first half of the 20th century. The hotel was built in 1899 and replaced the hotel's former location at 17 Beacon Street. Both incarnations have an incredible history and have housed Boston royalty. After WWII, John F. Kennedy stayed in the Hotel Bellevue while planning his first congressional campaign. Louisa May Alcott stayed at the original hotel while completing the seminal book "Little Women." In the 1950s, there was even a detective show named after this prestigious address. Today, it's easy to see where 21 Beacon Street gets its heirloom elegance. The Bellevue originally advertised itself as an elite hotel with European floor plans, unexcelled cuisine and excellent music. The building is still home to two outstanding restaurants, a Japanese grill and sushi restaurant and a seafood bistro. Every part of 21 Beacon has retained its air of Parisian elegance in the 21st century.
