The Hotel Billau , later Hotel Bellevue or Hotel Rheingold-Bellevue , was a renowned hotel in Rolandseck .

The hotel was opposite the Rolandseck train station and was originally designed in a relatively simple way. After the representative entrance building of the station had been erected, a risalit was added to the hotel, first at the northern and later also at the southern end , so that it now represented a reduced image of the Rolandseck station.

A scene from William Black 's Kilmeny is set in the Hotel Billau.

Around 1900 the house became the property of the Decker family of hoteliers. It served FGAN as a domicile in the 1950s . The house was later described as "a former magnificent building that had fallen into disrepair for decades".
