36 Boulevard Charles Livon, 13007 Marseille
From the heights of the Pharo district, an exceptional panorama unfolds before you, opening onto the shimmering waters of the Old Port. You need only lift your eyes to find the familiar lines of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde, the contours of Fort Saint-Nicolas, or the silent white sails gliding toward the Frioul Islands. At Sofitel Marseille Vieux-Port, this view feels like an integral part of your stay. It greets you in the morning during breakfast on the terrace, follows you discreetly to your room, and surprises you again around a corridor corner, from the restaurant, or by the indoor pool.
You can enjoy a setting that is both bright and cozy, where every space has been designed to provide a moment of respite. The rooms, decorated with understated elegance inspired by the marine world, let in light and subtly echo the hues of sand and pebbles. Some open onto a balcony or private terrace, giving you the leisure to watch the port’s activity, the changing reflections of the sea, and the city’s peaceful rhythm. Each accommodation offers refined comfort, generous bedding, modern amenities, and attention to detail that is evident at every moment.
As you move toward the common areas, you will discover an atmosphere that is both contemporary and warm. The reception, hallways, and lounges are illuminated with soft light, while artworks evoke Marseille’s millennial history without weighing down the ambiance. Here, everything seems designed to offer you a sense of balance: seamless transitions between spaces, harmonious decor, and soothing volumes.
When you're ready, you can enjoy a restorative break at the Sofitel Spa. Three areas await you, featuring a heated pool, sauna, hammam, and treatment rooms. Silence, scents, and dimmed lights foster true relaxation. If you prefer a physical awakening or a more vigorous workout session, the fitness room is accessible at any time, with direct views of the port. You’ll have the choice between energy and relaxation in a setting conducive to both.
At lunch or dinner, several options are available without leaving the property. You can settle into the brasserie Le Carré to enjoy simple and generous Mediterranean-inspired cuisine in a relaxed and light-filled atmosphere. If you’re looking for a more refined experience, the restaurant Les Trois Forts welcomes you in an elegant setting overlooking the horizon, with a menu that honors seafood and offers subtle pairings between dishes and wines.
As the day winds down, you’ll appreciate the terrace of the Dantès Skylounge. The spot is perfect for sharing a glass or enjoying a quiet moment overlooking the port’s lights. The ambiance is both chic and relaxed, and the visual experience remains striking—whether it’s the twilight falling over the city or the nighttime glow redrawing the coastline.
If you’re traveling for business, you’ll find several modern meeting rooms, some with views, designed to offer focus and efficiency. The venue’s calm, the quality of the service, and the available facilities create an environment conducive to reflection or collaboration. Sofitel Marseille Vieux-Port seamlessly combines work and well-being in a single day.
The service reflects the overall experience: attentive without being ostentatious, present without being intrusive. You’ll feel as though everything happens naturally, that the organization follows your rhythm, and that the staff is available without ever being overbearing. This sense of fluidity greatly contributes to the overall comfort of your stay.
Thanks to its location, you can easily reach several iconic sites. The Palais du Pharo is just a few minutes away on foot, as are Fort Saint-Nicolas and the Catalans Beach. You can also embark at the nearby marina for a crossing to Château d'If or the Frioul Islands. If you prefer to stay on land, the Corniche Kennedy promenade begins close to the hotel.
From the hotel, you can also easily access the colorful streets of the Panier district, the Mucem, and the Major esplanade. Here, you can discover another side of Marseille—more historical, more artisanal, but just as vibrant. Museums, workshops, and shaded squares create a rich and varied itinerary.
You could dedicate a morning or afternoon to an excursion in the Calanques, accessible by transport or boat from the Old Port. The contrast between the white rocks, pine trees, and turquoise water creates an unforgettable natural setting. If you’re drawn to more urban vibes, the Noailles or La Plaine neighborhoods will offer a vibrant mix of markets, shops, and everyday Marseille life.
Cultural events abound throughout the year. The Marseille Festival, exhibitions at the Mucem, or concerts at the Friche Belle de Mai will allow you to extend your stay with an artistic touch. You can inquire about current programs upon arrival or seek recommendations from the hotel staff.
By choosing Sofitel Marseille Vieux-Port, you’re giving yourself more than just accommodation. You’ll find a place that embraces the city’s contours, a calm space overlooking the hustle and bustle, and a setting where every moment can be fully experienced. Far from the noise yet never far away, this hotel allows you to experience Marseille in its full depth.
The establishment combines comfort, elegance, and a discreet form of sophistication, leaving space for your own pace. Whether you’re visiting for a few days of rest, a celebration, or a professional meeting, you’ll find the balance between service, tranquility, and connection to the city.
