Expert reviews
“Marseille’s uber-cool option, the five-star C2 was launched in 2014. Twenty luxurious, light-filled rooms spill over a 19th-century merchant family mansion typical of this portside quarter, each one decked out in exposed brick walls and designer furnishings. Some have a private hammam steam bath.”
“Serene 19th-century classicism meets modern designer cool in an elegant town house, transformed by Claire Fatosme and Christian Lefèvre (the “two Cs”) into a five-star boutique hotel cum art gallery, music bar and all-purpose chic hangout.”

All you need to know
Hotel C2 is housed in a magnificent late 19th-century townhouse in a highly central location, just off Marseille’s Cours Pierre Puget. The Old Port, the Basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde, and the Abbey of Saint-Victor are all within a ten-minute walk of Hotel C2, which is ideal for both business and pleasure in Marseille. This five-star boutique hotel is housed in a traditional townhouse with an abundance of artwork and a warm and welcoming ambiance. C2 Hôtel is located in the Opéra neighborhood of central Marseille, close behind the Old Port, in a magnificent Haussmann-style edifice. Many of the historical features, such as frescoes and sculptures, have been preserved in this 19th-century mansion.
Features:
The apartments in the back, which face the patio and garden, are the most tranquil.
The garden has an exquisite subterranean spa with a whirlpool bath, a hammam, and an indoor swimming pool cut into the rock.
It has its own private beach on Île Gaby, as well as private boat tours from Anse de Malmousque.
The hotel serves a variety of high-quality breakfast and tea beverages and a selection of finger foods. Les Saveurs Mareseillaises, a delectable Sunday brunch, is offered all year in the lounge or on the sunny, private terrace.
There is a large cellar with over a hundred high-quality wines.
The ground-floor lounge bar is a beautiful, light-filled area with an interesting mix of old and new elements.

A little bit of luxury in the Old Port area of the town.
Modern rooms in a gloriously restored old town house. Large breakfast choice. Nice spa area. Well located. Impromptu concert evening was fantastic.

Fabulous
Staff was very helpful and nice, the hotel room was a good size and the hotel was very nicely decorated. I wish we had more time for breakfast, because there was a huge selection of different freshly baked cakes/pastry atc., but we had to leave very early to catch a flight.
Marseille itself, it is quite a dirty city with many strange individuals.

A quiet oasis close to town
The hotel is perfectly situated, being only a 5 minute walk from Vieux Port. It is a quiet oasis with a wonderful Spa/pool area and large, modern and well equipped rooms. The staff are what makes this hotel special. Mathieu and the team were extremely friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a quiet boutique hotel close to the town.

Exceptional
C2 is exceptional and one of my favourite hotels in our trip. The room and facilities are excellent. It is small boutique hotel, exceptional finishes, fantastic staff and located an easy 5 minutes stroll to the hectic harbour and shopping precinct. It is a haven and we lived it.

It is a modern design hotel, very comfortable rooms, helpful and friendly staff. In a very nice quiet area and at the same time in the city center
I can’t think of anything that needs improvement

My sister lives in marseille. Every summer we visit her. We will absolutely stay here again

Excellent and highly recommended.
Excellent service from the hotel. Beautiful inside and so relaxing!! A particular thanks goes to the concierge Mathieu who organised so much for us for our stay to booking restaurant meals for us and a boat trip to the Calanques! Will definitely be staying here again!
The hotels jacuzzi and steam room were not working during our stay which was unfortunate but the hotel upgraded us to a Prestige room to compensate for this which didn't disappoint but I'd suggest that the hotel does ensure that all facilities are working so as to fulfil all customers expectations.
