A city and a weekend unlike any other
" Philadelphia today is equally celebrated for a dining scene of national standing, world-class arts and museums and a warmth and energy that is entirely its own "
Dear Members of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, Guests, and Friends
It is with great pleasure that the 2026 Grand Chapitre Committee invites you to join us in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, October 28th through November 1st, 2026.
Philadelphia is a city where the founding ideals of a nation were written into being, and where that spirit of bold ambition has never left. History lives at every turn. Yet Philadelphia today is equally celebrated for a dining scene of national standing, world-class arts and museums, and a warmth and energy that is entirely its own.
Our event headquarters is The Bellevue, part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, affectionately known as the “Grande Dame of Broad Street”. The historic French Renaissance-style property recently completed a sweeping renovation blending classical grandeur with a refreshed approach to luxury. It will be fully reawakened and ready to receive us in magnificent style.
The programme opens Wednesday evening with dine-arounds at some of the city’s finest restaurants. Our events will take us to some of Philadelphia’s landmark venues. Friday’s Bailli Appreciation Dinner is hosted by The Union League of Philadelphia.A short walk down Broad Street, one of America’s most distinguished private institutions, was founded in 1862 and host to presidents and dignitaries across more than 160 years of history. On Saturday, the Grand Gala and Induction Dinner will be held at The Bellevue Hotel.
