36 Boulevard Charles Livon, 13007 Marseille
The Sofitel Marseille Vieux-Port embodies a haven of peace in the heart of the Phocean city, just steps away from the Vieux-Port and the city’s emblematic landmarks. This five-star establishment, perched above the port, offers its visitors an exceptional panorama, an unforgettable view embracing both the historical fortifications and the vast blue of the Mediterranean. It is located in a lively neighborhood where Marseille’s rich heritage blends with the city’s contemporary vibes, and it is within immediate proximity to must-see sites such as the Palais du Pharo and the Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde basilica. From this promontory, the Marseille sunsets turn the sky into a renewed spectacle every evening, inviting a moment of pause to admire the beauty of the landscape.
The rooms, elegant and spacious, subtly evoke the maritime world with their sea-inspired decor. Every detail recalls the Mediterranean shores: from natural materials like seashells and pebbles to the soft color tones used. Equipped with the renowned MyBed bedding for comfort, they offer restful nights and a relaxing ambiance. The bathrooms, fitted with hydromassage showers or double bathtubs, add a touch of wellness and refinement, enhanced by quality skincare products.
With its three dining venues, the Sofitel offers a chance to experience Mediterranean flavors in varied settings. The restaurant Les Trois Forts, led by Chef Sylvain Touati, offers gourmet cuisine that subtly combines seafood with local ingredients, accompanied by a refined selection of wines and champagnes. On the terrace, facing the Vieux-Port, each meal becomes a sensory experience, elevated by a breathtaking view. The brasserie Le Carré, appreciated by both travelers and locals, provides a warm and relaxed atmosphere to enjoy more accessible cuisine, from breakfast through dinner. For cocktail enthusiasts and those seeking a livelier atmosphere, the Dantès Skylounge bar, with its 150-square-meter terrace, serves original creations in a lounge setting, ideal for watching the lights of Marseille at dusk.
The relaxation experience continues at the Sofitel Spa, a 600 m² space dedicated to well-being and serenity, designed in collaboration with the prestigious Carita and Nougatine brands. The spa features several treatment rooms, a pool, a hammam, and a sauna, as well as a fitness room equipped with state-of-the-art machines, accessible around the clock. For complete immersion in a world of relaxation, the spa offers exclusive treatment protocols and personalized guidance, allowing each guest to regain energy and peace in an exceptional setting.
The hotel also provides numerous services for a seamless stay. Gold Key concierges are on hand to cater to guests' requests, whether it be organizing a visit, recommending a restaurant, or planning an excursion to the Calanques. For travelers with cars, a private parking area is available, along with a limousine service on request. Sofitel’s environmental commitment is also notable, with a Green Key certification that attests to its efforts toward responsible water and energy management and a reduction of its ecological footprint.
For your excursions in Marseille, the Sofitel serves as an ideal starting point to many attractions. Explore the picturesque alleys of Le Panier, the city’s oldest neighborhood, where artist studios, designer shops, and street art frescoes intermingle. Nearby, the MuCEM (Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations) is a must-see to dive into Mediterranean history and admire its bold architecture by the water’s edge. A walk to Fort Saint-Jean, accessible by a footbridge from the MuCEM, offers further spectacular views of the port.
For a convivial moment around the table, Marseille abounds in restaurants with generous and authentic cuisine. Don’t miss a traditional bouillabaisse at one of the renowned establishments in the Vieux-Port, or dine at Fonfon, an iconic address in the Vallon des Auffes, where fresh fish and Provençal dishes take center stage. For a more contemporary culinary experience, L’Épuisette, also in the Vallon des Auffes, offers inventive Mediterranean-inspired cuisine in an idyllic seaside setting.
To enjoy Marseille’s nightlife, the Vieux-Port area comes alive in the evening with numerous bars and brasseries, where the city’s convivial and festive spirit can be felt. In summer, outdoor concerts and events are regularly organized, providing unique opportunities to experience the local culture. Whether you are a history buff, art lover, foodie, or simply seeking relaxation, a stay at the Sofitel Marseille Vieux-Port offers an authentic glimpse of Mediterranean Provence in an unparalleled setting of comfort and refinement.
