Hotel C2, Marseille
More photosExpert 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.

Other Marseille hotels
Hotel Maison Saint Louis, Marseille
Lonely Planet“The stuccoed façade, wrought-iron balconies and ‘mini-museum’ of this charming hotel pay homage to its 19th-century origins. Each of the rooms is unique – from the ‘Kenya’ (dedicated to Satao, a Kenyan elephant killed by poachers in 2014) to the ‘Yorkshire’, inspired by an English cottage – and a few have little balconies.”
La Residence du Vieux Port, Marseille
Lonely Planet + 2 more“Externally as attractive as a multistorey car park, this portside hotel scores big on interior design and views. Its rooms are self-consciously retro – think bold primary colours, art in the styles of Miró and Mondrian, ’50s-style furniture and Anglepoise lamps – and most come with port-view balconies.”
Aparthotel Le Couvent, Marseille
New York Times“Marseille’s most discreet hotel might be Le Couvent. Occupying an unmarked 17th-century stone building, the sprawling mansion-like space has no restaurant, spa or other amenities — just 10 stylish contemporary apartments outfitted with vintage pieces, art and books.”

Hotel Maison Montgrand, Marseille
New York Times + 2 more“With its lifestyle boutique, restaurant, vast garden and frequent Friday night parties, Hotel Maison Montgrand is a Marseille tastemaker. The 49 rooms are done in minimalist style with smooth woods and muted tones.”
