Charming hotel

Welcome to the Hotel Bellevue, an authentic haven where the elegance of the 1900s meets a commitment to sustainability. Located in 34 Quai du PortOur charming hotel offers you a privileged balcony overlooking the Mediterranean and the vibrant soul of the Phocaean city.

A family-run and independent establishment steeped in history

Like all great stories, ours is rooted in a passion: the passion for Guy PracheAn architect with a passion for buildings possessing a soul. His talent has always been to breathe new life into places steeped in history, transforming them into exceptional havens.

Today, the second generation carries on this original "guiding thread" with the same commitment: preserving human-scale establishments in exceptional locations. Driven by this family tradition:

• In Marseille: Established for almost 20 years, Yona Etienne buys and animates the iconic Bellevue HotelA pioneer in environmental commitment, she made this establishment on the Old Port the first hotel in Marseille to obtain the Green Key labelAn "eco-designed" and welcoming spirit that defines the identity of this historic building.

• In Chamonix: His brother, Pierre Prache, watches over theHotel Jeu de PaumeIn this chalet in Lavancher, transformed by their father, he perpetuates the art of hospitality at the summit, also under the aegis of the Green Key label.

• In Paris: THEJeu de Paume Hotel (Ile Saint-Louis) completes this family triangle, nestled in a superb 17th-century building, formerly a royal jeu de paume court.

From the Old Port to the peaks of Mont Blanc, personalized service and respect for heritage remain our guiding principles. Our hotels are not simply places to stay, but family homes where every carefully chosen object and every detail tells our story.

A stopover steeped in history: Between sky, land and sea

Under the passionate guidance of Yona Etienne, the Hotel Bellevue carefully preserves traces of its past as aformer sailors' hotelLong before it became the eco-friendly refuge it is today, this pre-war building was the anchor point for long-distance travelers stopping over at the Old Port.

As you cross the threshold, history escorts you:

• An architectural legacy: You borrow a listed staircase, the true backbone of the building, which testifies to the elegance of Marseille of yesteryear.

• A legendary framework: On the top floor, a rare structure: a frame designed from boat masts, reminding us that the soul of the hotel is inseparable from the maritime adventure.

• The spirit of La Caravelle: A true institution from the last century, our bar-restaurant La Caravelle seems frozen in time. Yona has preserved this atmosphere of a post-war "jazz club" and cabaret where naval officers and artists mingled with the people of Marseille.

Just like her stepfather Guy in Chamonix, Yona has managed to preserve this atmosphere of an inhabited home, where family memories and traces of the maritime past combine to offer a timeless experience.
