Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
La Plaine
Philippe Starck's urban hotel concept in the heart of Marseille's creative Noailles district, with a rooftop terrace, DJ nights, and irreverent pop-art interiors that appeal to design-savvy travellers on a mid-range budget.
Endoume
An intimate, design-forward guesthouse in a restored 19th-century villa near the Corniche with just five rooms, a pool, and a serene garden that feels miles from the urban hustle. One of Marseille's best-kept secrets for couples.
Vieux-Port
A sleek, contemporarily designed hotel perched directly on the Quai du Port, with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows framing uninterrupted views of the harbour and the Fort Saint-Nicolas. The open-plan rooms feel almost like private waterfront apartments.
Vieux-Port
A modern Novotel with a full-length harbour-facing terrace, bright contemporary rooms, and the reliability of the Accor chain in a location that puts you steps from the ferry, the MuCEM, and the best bouillabaisse restaurants. Solid mid-range option.
Vieux-Port
A well-positioned three-star with a rooftop terrace offering stunning basilica and harbour views, at a price point well below the luxury competition. Compact but clean rooms, friendly staff, and an unbeatable location for exploring the Vieux-Port on foot.
Endoume
Perched on a private cove of the Corniche with a three-Michelin-star restaurant helmed by Gérald Passédat — arguably the finest seafood table in France — and just 16 villa-style suites set into the cliffside garden above the sea. The most extraordinary hotel in Marseille.
