Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Vieux-Port
An 18th-century baroque hospital transformed into a five-star hotel with extraordinary history embedded in every stone arch and chapel space. The rooftop terrace pool overlooks the Vieux-Port and Notre-Dame de la Garde with a sweeping panorama that is genuinely among the best in France.
Vieux-Port
A contemporary glass-and-steel Sofitel cantilevered over the waterfront with a rooftop pool, spa, and panoramic bar delivering sunset views across the harbour to the Basilique. The most polished full-service luxury hotel on the Vieux-Port.
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 clean, well-run two-star at the edge of the Vieux-Port neighbourhood, offering compact rooms and helpful staff at Marseille's most attractive budget price point. A practical base for exploring the city centre without breaking the budget.
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.
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.
