A fusion of African, Middle Eastern and French culture, the port of Marseille, on the Côte d’Azur is France’s second largest city. Boasting bustling markets, harbourside restaurants and museums, Marseille is a cosmopolitan city with a laid back vibe. Forget Paris, enjoy a holiday in Marseille and check out one of these great hotels in Marseille.

Marseille's Vieux port

The Grand Hotel Beauvau

Located in the centre of Marseilles, the 4-star Grand Hotel Beauvau has superb views of the Vieux Port and Mediterranean Sea in the distance. Stay in ornate rooms once graced by legendary writers and musicians such as Cocteau and Chopin.

Mercure Marseille Prado

If you want to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the port area try the Mercure Marseille Prado. Situated within walking distance of the Prado beaches and Olympique de Marseille’s Velodrome Stadium, the hotel offers excellent value for money as well as the chance to soak up some rays.

Novotel Aéroport Porte de Marseille

The Novotel Marseille Aéroport is just 5 minutes from Marseille Provence airport and 20 minutes from Marseille centre and has modern, spacious rooms and a swimming pool. But don’t forget to head to the port area to sample bouillabaisse, Marseille’s famous fish stew…no trip is complete without it.

Getting around and away

Flights to Marseille are great value and with Nice a mere two hours away and Montpellier only an hour and a half, hire a car and explore the French Riviera.  Check out prices for car rental in Marseille.
