The Belle-Jim Hotel

Established 1910 · Jasper, Texas

A room on the courthouse square since 1910

Mamie Patten built this hotel for traveling salesmen and named it for her two daughters. More than a century later the Guizar family has restored it: fresh rooms upstairs, and Chef Ed’s kitchen downstairs at Sujey’s New American Table.
