2 Hotels and Resorts in Marseille

Marseille is best known for being a port city with some of France’s most beautiful beaches. But it's not just the natural beauty that makes it famous, its vibrant culture and delicious gastronomy are also key highlights that make it such a great holiday spot.

Start your visit at the Old Port (Vieux-Port), the heart of the city, and enjoy strolling around its cafés, shops, and restaurants in the area.

Another landmark worth visiting is the Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde, located on a hill where you’ll get stunning panoramic views of the city and the sea.

Get lost in Marseille’s oldest quartier, Le Panier district. It’s full of narrow streets, colourful façades, and artisan shops, perfect for finding unique, handcrafted souvenirs.

Visit the MuCEM (Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations) to learn more about the cultural heritage of the region, from ancient civilizations to modern days.

Take a boat trip to Château d’If and visit the 16th century fortress-turned-prison, featured in the classic novel The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas.

You can also go on a day trip to Calanques National Park. These limestone cliffs and turquoise coves are ideal for swimming and hiking.

Marseille is a year-round destination due to its Mediterranean climate with mild winters and hot summers.

The average temperature in summer is around 30ºC, while winters are cooler, but they rarely drop below 5ºC. There are more than 300 days of sunshine a year in Marseille, so be sure to pack sun cream, and add a jacket as well, as it can also get windy due to the Mistral, which is a strong, cold wind that blows from the north of France to the south.

Several of our hotels in Marseille have a swimming pool for you to enjoy after a full day of exploring. You’ll feel all your worries slip away during your holiday.

Marseille’s most traditional dishes are made with seafood and Provençal flavours, such as the Bouillabaisse, a fish stew with herbs, spices and a side of rouille and bread.

Other local favourites include panisse, fried chickpea flour cakes; Pistou soup, a summer soup made with beans, courgette, and other vegetables, or pieds paquets, a slow-cooked dish made with sheep feet and stuffed sheep’s tripe.

For those with a sweet tooth, be sure to try Madeleines. These shell-shaped sponge cakes are delicious when they’re fresh from the oven. And for wine enthusiasts, be sure to visit a winery, or the old vineyards in Aix-en-Provence, just one hour away from Marseille.

The best way to get around Marseille is by foot. The city centre is very walkable, and you can easily get from one landmark to another without getting lost, and if you do, you might find some hidden gems!

There are also two metro lines, trams, and buses that connect the main areas of the city. You can purchase daily tickets or multi-day passes, depending on how long you are staying.

Even though you can also hire a car, driving is not recommended, as it can be really challenging and parking is often difficult.
