Your guide to the best luxury hotels in Marseille
InterContinental Marseille - Hôtel Dieu · Le PanierFor this guide we have gathered the best hotels in Marseille: three luxury hotels, from 224 euros a night.At no extra cost: booking through suitespot costs the same as booking direct with the hotel – the benefits come on top, free of charge.
Three luxury hotels in Marseille – and how to choose
The three luxury hotels in Marseille cost between 224 € and 409 € a night. At all three the suitespot benefits apply from the first night.
Sofitel Marseille Vieux Port · 7. ArrondissementTwo stand on the Old Port, one on the Corniche.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
Across their 32 categories, the three hotels describe the water in different ways. There are three words – but only two bodies of water.
• The Sofitel Marseille Vieux Port from 224 € says Old Port – in eight of nine categories.
• The InterContinental Marseille - Hôtel Dieu from 300 € says harbour – in five of 15.
• And the Le Petit Nice Passedat from 409 € says sea – in six of eight.
The first two mean the same basin. Old Port and harbour, in Marseille that is the Vieux Port, and both hotels stand on its edges.
The third word means something else. The Le Petit Nice Passedat stands on the Corniche – its address says so – and what its categories call sea is the open water off the coast, not the harbour basin.
For your booking that means: do not tell us “water view”, tell us harbour or sea. One word, and the hotel is settled.
If it is to be the harbour, the Sofitel Marseille Vieux Port has the highest share in the selection: eight of nine categories. Our travel advisors confirm the exact room sizes there before you book.
Where to stay in Marseille: the Old Port, Le Panier or the Corniche
The three hotels sit on two sides of the harbour and one coast road.
Le Petit Nice Passedat · 7th ArrondissementIn the seventh arrondissement, on the south side of the Vieux Port, stands the Sofitel Marseille Vieux Port from 224 €, the most affordable entry. Our recommendation for anyone who wants the harbour out of the window.
In Le Panier, the quarter on the north side of the harbour, stands the InterContinental Marseille - Hôtel Dieu from 300 € with 15 categories, the longest list in the selection. Our recommendation for anyone who wants the lanes on foot.
On the Corniche Kennedy stands the Le Petit Nice Passedat from 409 € with eight categories – the smallest hotel and the only one whose categories name the open sea. Our recommendation for anyone who wants the water without the harbour.
32 categories: the best hotels in Marseille from the inside
Together the best hotels in Marseille offer 32 categories. That is few, which is why nearly every one of them can be named here.
At the InterContinental Marseille - Hôtel Dieu there are 15, at the Sofitel Marseille Vieux Port nine, at the Le Petit Nice Passedat eight.
On the view, 19 name the water: eight the Old Port, five the harbour and six the sea. Another six carry only the word View – four at the InterContinental Marseille - Hôtel Dieu and two at the Le Petit Nice Passedat.
Among the largest units are the Presidential Suite at the InterContinental Marseille - Hôtel Dieu at 156 square metres, the Panoramic Suite at the Le Petit Nice Passedat at 120, the Prestige Suite at the InterContinental Marseille - Hôtel Dieu at 106 and a further suite at the Le Petit Nice Passedat at 84.
Our travel advisors confirm the exact size of every category before you book.
What a night at a luxury hotel in Marseille costs
A night at a 5-star hotel in Marseille costs between 224 € and 409 €.
| Luxury hotel | From | suitespot benefits from |
|---|---|---|
| Sofitel Marseille Vieux Port | 224 € | 1st night |
| InterContinental Marseille - Hôtel Dieu | 300 € | 1st night |
| Le Petit Nice Passedat | 409 € | 1st night |
At all three hotels the benefits apply from the first night.
When it is at its best: in May and June and in September and October. The water is warm enough then and the city is still walkable.
High summer belongs to the Calanques and the evenings on the harbour, where the light holds late. Our recommendation for anyone who wants both, the city and the coast.
Winter has an argument of its own in Marseille: the mistral clears the air, and the museums belong to whoever is there. Our recommendation for a second visit.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year exactly as in the busiest.
Breakfast, hotel credit and exclusive services at a 5-star hotel
At all three hotels breakfast and the upgrade on arrival subject to availability are included.
