The Hôtel Bellême au Sistine, more commonly referred to as La Bellême au Sistine, is a historic hotel in Port Sistine, Alexandria Territory, Meridon, in the Petitpalatin neighborhood. Built and first operated by members of the affluent Bellême family, one of Port Sistine's prominent merchant families, it was widely considered the largest and most luxurious hotel in Meridon until the latter half of the 19th century. It is one of the few historic hotels of its size in Meridon to remain in its original ownership, and is one of the largest such independent hotels in Port Sistine. It has been listed by the Interior Department as a Cultural Heritage Site since 1902.
The hotel was built from 1703 until 1706, when it was opened and primarily catered to higher-class clientele including merchants and dignitaries. It has served as a meeting place for numerous historical events in its history, including foreign summits. It was last renovated in 2019, introducing modernized amenities including wide-screen televisions, refurbishment of interior spaces.
The hotel features 193 guest rooms and suites, conference centers, 2 full-service restaurants including one Montard Premiere-ranked steakhouse, a bar, spa and sauna centers, an indoor pool, a fitness center, an atrium and outdoor terraces.
The hotel notably hosted the abortive Bellême defense talks of 2023.
