Hôtel la Résidence du Vieux Port  

On the south bank of Marseille’s famous Old Port, this boutique hotel drops you into the city’s waterfront buzz. Walk to the Vieux Port, Musée d'Histoire de Marseille and Eglise Saint Cannat, or enjoy views of Notre‑Dame de la Garde; Grand Port Maritime and the Velodrome are a short drive away. Pet-friendly and perfect for a port-side stay.

Recently renovated rooms sport a chic 1950s retro vibe. Most rooms feature balconies overlooking the Old Port and the basilica, plus minibars, flat-screen TVs, spacious bathrooms with complimentary toiletries and hair dryers, bathrobes and slippers.

Keep fit in the gym, unwind on the terrace, browse the hotel library or sip cocktails at the bar. Concierge and tour-desk services, transfers, laundry/dry cleaning and elevator access are available, and complimentary wired and wireless internet keeps you connected — wake up to sea-breeze mornings on a harbor-facing balcony.

A 24-hour business center and high-speed wired and wireless internet make working away from the office easy.

An on-site beachfront restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine with alfresco options; continental breakfasts are offered on weekdays and weekends for a fee. Room service runs during limited hours and a relaxed bar/lounge rounds out the food and drink scene.
