52 Rue de Forbin, 13002 Marseille
Behind a discreet facade with contemporary lines, the B&B HOTEL Marseille Centre La Joliette offers a comfortable retreat in a dynamic and central neighborhood of the city. Just a few steps from the docks and the waterfront, this three-star establishment caters to both travelers on a stopover and those who wish to take the time to discover Marseille.
Upon arrival, a 24-hour reception welcomes you with simplicity. The atmosphere is calm, the organization efficient, and everything seems designed to make your stay easier. For those traveling by car, a private underground parking lot, accessible by reservation, spares you the hassle of parking.
The hotel is located in a rapidly transforming district, in close proximity to the La Joliette metro station. This location allows you to reach Saint-Charles station in just a few minutes or to explore the city's iconic sites without difficulty. The Old Port is within walking distance, as are the Docks, the Terrasses du Port, or the Regards de Provence Museum.
The 125 rooms spread over several floors are all air-conditioned and soundproof. The decor is understated, contemporary, and uncluttered, focusing on the essentials: well-arranged spaces, comfortable bedding, and a pleasant quietness. Some rooms can accommodate up to four people, while others are specially designed for people with reduced mobility.
The room amenities meet the expectations of today's travelers: flat-screen TVs with news, sports, and international channels, included high-speed Wi-Fi, private bathrooms with showers, as well as a small workspace with a chair and desk. Pillows developed in partnership with a sleep specialist complement the comfort of the bedding.
In the morning, a buffet breakfast is offered in the dedicated dining area. The selected products prioritize freshness, quality, and a certain diversity. Pastries, hot drinks, fruit juices, dairy products, sweet or savory options: everyone will find something to start the day at their own pace, including children who benefit from an adapted rate.
At any time of day, a microwave is available if you wish to heat a meal purchased outside. This simple and appreciated solution is particularly useful for families or travelers in a hurry. Vending machines further enhance this self-service offering.
The hotel welcomes pets for a small additional fee, which can be helpful for a stay without separation. For those who prefer, non-smoking rooms are available upon request, subject to availability.
The staff speaks several languages and is available without excessive formality. The tone is direct, courteous, and the assistance efficient. A loyalty program is offered to regular customers, with some progressive benefits.
The Les Terrasses du Port shopping center, located two minutes away on foot, is a convenient stop for shopping, dining, or simply strolling. The proximity of the ferry terminal to Corsica also makes it a practical stopover for travelers heading to the island.
If you want to explore the city on foot, you can reach the Old Port in about twenty minutes by walking along the docks. Further south, the stairs leading to the Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica offer a breathtaking perspective on Marseille and its contrasts.
From the hotel, it is easy to discover the Panier district, one of the oldest in the city. Its narrow streets, colorful facades, and popular atmosphere give an authentic glimpse of Marseille's soul. There, you'll come across galleries, lively little squares, and artisan workshops.
A little further away, the Mucem is a must-visit. This museum dedicated to the civilizations of Europe and the Mediterranean is as appealing for its programming as for its spectacular architecture. Right next door, Fort Saint-Jean offers a pleasant walk blending history, maritime views, and green spaces.
For a more contemporary moment of relaxation, the Jardin des Vestiges, just two metro stops away, offers an immersion into the Roman history of the city. The Longchamp Palace, a classified historic monument, provides a more classic alternative, with museums and French-style gardens.
If you're a fan of football or events, the Vélodrome Stadium is easily accessible by metro. Whether to attend a match or simply visit this iconic venue, the trip is worth it.
The B&B HOTEL Marseille Centre La Joliette is suited to various types of stays: professional, cultural, or family. Its well-connected location, the simplicity of its services, and the discreet comfort of its rooms make it a balanced destination where you can settle with peace of mind before heading out to explore Marseille.
