Old Port of Marseille

The Old Port of Marseille wraps you in 2,600 years of maritime magic where fishing boats bob alongside fancy yachts. Greek settlers started this party way back in 600 BCE, and now you get to enjoy their epic harbour hangout. The daily fish market buzzes with local energy while the mirror canopy reflects Mediterranean light in all directions. Fort Saint-Jean guards the entrance like a watchful friend. Between seafood feasts and strolls along the U-shaped harbour, you'll find narrow cobblestone streets hiding Provençal treasures. Hop on Metro Line 1 at Vieux-Port Station when your feet need a break. Boutique hotels in converted historic buildings put you right in the heart of the action.

Marseille and related destinations

Between the old port's fishing boats and the gleaming MuCEM museum, Marseille's Mediterranean spirit shines brightest. Climb to Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica for views that explain why painters have been obsessed with this light for centuries. The ancient Le Panier district reveals narrow streets where laundry flaps above tiny squares. At Palais Longchamps, fountains cascade dramatically beneath a palatial facade. The Calanques offer limestone cliffs plunging into impossibly blue water - nature's perfect counterpoint to urban grit. Locals debate which restaurant serves authentic bouillabaisse with the same passion they reserve for their football club. The Vieux Port transforms each morning into France's most aromatic fish market, where fishermen sell what they caught hours earlier.

10/10 Excellent
"Rooms were clean, we had two doubles rooms, 212 & 214 and one shower could have been upgraded. The bar was lovely & reception. The staff including the ones cleaning were all professional, curious and super helpful. The carpets are a bit dated but all in the place was clean. We enjoyed staying there & easy to get to, & had that ‘old fashioned grand’ look about the hotel that we loved. Will come back! Vina & friends"

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Marseille

For an enriching experience, staying for at least 2 to 3 days allows you to explore the city's iconic landmarks, delve into its rich history, and appreciate its vibrant culture. You’ll find great value for money while visiting attractions such as the bustling port, various museums, charming cafes, and the magnificent cathedral. A leisurely stroll along the marina, indulging in local dining, and taking part in guided tours will enhance your visit while keeping it affordable.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: Marseille travellers may discover enticing deals on Hotels.com by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window section, where discounted hotel options might be available. You could find last-minute offers by checking the Last-Minute Deals area, and by enabling email alerts or push notifications, you're more likely to be informed about flash sales and special promotions. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool on the app serves as a handy comparison tool, allowing you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you stay updated on any price drops or available rooms.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may differ depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and season, so having flexibility with your dates could help you save on your stay in a Marseille hotel. For those seeking distinctive experiences, boutique hotels may offer a more personalised environment and potentially better value. When you book with Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher side, we may suggest more affordable dates to help you find a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Remaining in close proximity to key attractions or city centres may offer convenience, yet it usually comes at a higher price. For those seeking more affordable options, consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, balancing cost with ease of access to your planned destinations. You might also explore independent hotels further afield, which more likely tend to be affordable while offering a more authentic experience.
