Do you want to stay at the Hotel Belle and enjoy a drink on the Caravelle terrace? Our friends have reigned over the Old Port of Marseille for almost 100 years. A look back at these 2 historical nuggets.
A building proudly standing for almost 100 years…
The Caravelle bar-restaurant , located on the first floor of the building that also houses the Hotel Belle Vue , was a cabaret for sailors in the 1920s…
Just two more years and we'll be able to celebrate 100 years of reigning over the Old Port of Marseille 🙂

We let you admire the old cars parked in front of the hotel!
Today, the Old Port is pedestrianized.
In just a few steps, you can board a maritime shuttle to the beaches of Marseille, the Frioul islands and the Calanques.
Its staircase is a “survivor”
During the Second World War, on May 27, 1944, the Germans bombed the Old Port.
400 buildings are destroyed. The Belle Vue hotel and the Caravelle remain standing. The staircase too!
That is why it is now considered part of Marseille's heritage.
His photogenic qualities are celebrated by Apple in one of its " shot with iPhone " campaigns, and his image is plastered on the facade of the Gare de Lyon in Paris.
Today, the staircase is still here but for reasons of convenience, an elevator must come to assist it :)
Sustainable development, designer decor and breakfast with a view
The Belle Vue hotel is a cozy hotel.
Whether you are alone, as a couple, or with your family, you will appreciate the comfort of its rooms, the elegant modernity of its decor , and its commitment to sustainable development.
He has also been awarded the Green Key Label several times for his environmental efforts.
Its breakfast is made with fresh produce. It is eaten at Caravelle.
Whether you are in the dining room or on the terrace, you will embrace all of Marseille as soon as the sun rises, under the benevolent gaze of Notre Dame de la Garde.
