The Bellevue Hotel sits at Latrán 77, the street that leads up to the castle, so the castle entrance is only about three minutes away on foot. It has 65 rooms, from Superior and Deluxe doubles to a Junior Suite, with free WiFi, safes, room service, flat-screen televisions, desks and showers in every room. Facilities include the Gourmet Le Jardin restaurant, a bar, a cafe, a terrace, a sauna, a concierge and porter service, a gift shop and meeting rooms, which makes it one of the more complete hotels in the town.
Location and getting around
Latrán is the old castle suburb, a lively street of burgher houses between the town and the castle gate. The Latrán houses are two minutes away on foot, the church of St. Jošt three, and the castle itself about three, so an early start at the castle before the tour groups arrive is very easy.
The church of St. Vitus is about eight minutes away and the Egon Schiele Art Centrum about nine. The railway stations are outside the town, and a car or bus is needed to reach them, so plan your arrival with that in mind.
The rooms and the food
The Superior double is the entry level, the Deluxe double is a little larger, and the Junior Suite sleeps three and suits families or anyone who wants extra space. Rooms are heated, with satellite television and room service, and the sauna is a welcome treat after a day on the cobbles.
Dinner at Gourmet Le Jardin is the draw for food lovers, and the terrace is pleasant in summer. Breakfast is a buffet that is usually offered as an extra, so check when you book whether it is in your rate. A limousine and airport transfer service can be arranged on request for an additional charge.
Who it suits and what to know: couples on a special trip, travellers who value service and a restaurant on site, and visitors who want to be near the castle will find it a good fit. The hotel does not offer parking, and the old town is closed to most traffic, so drivers should look into nearby car parks before arrival. Pets are not allowed. Check-in runs from the afternoon until late evening, with late arrivals possible during limited hours, and check-out is at eleven.
Free cancellation is offered on selected rates. Prices are in the upper range for the town and rise in summer and at the winter holidays, so book early for those dates. Because the hotel is on the castle side of the river, you can enjoy the quieter hours of the morning and evening on Latrán, then walk across to the main square for the busiest part of the day, which gives the stay a pleasant rhythm.
