Hotels in Marseille

Discover Marseille

Marseille – France's oldest city and its sun-soaked gateway to the Mediterranean. Grittier and more bohemian than Paris, Marseille rewards travellers with a lived-in port city full of colour, seafood and history.

The Vieux-Port (Old Port) is the beating heart of the city, ringed by cafes, fish markets and ferries out to the Calanques. Above it all, Notre-Dame de la Garde watches over the rooftops, while the Panier district's narrow lanes hold centuries of history. Just outside the centre, Saint-Charles station connects Marseille to the rest of France by high-speed rail.

Marseille is known for being significantly more affordable than Paris — a huge range of clean, well-reviewed budget and mid-range hotels cluster around the Old Port and Saint-Charles station, alongside a handful of design-forward five-star properties on the waterfront for travellers wanting to splurge.
