Hotel C2, Marseille

Expert reviews

Frommers review:

“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.”

Telegraph review:

“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.”

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.

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

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.

Coming back for sure ...

I never normally write reviews but feel compelled to write about C2. The hotel is excellent, rooms are great, beds are fantastically comfortable, location is a 5 minute walk from the Vieux Port area and the breakfast was just what we needed. But as with any business it's the people who make it and the team at C2 are exceptional. Incredibly helpful before we arrived and throughout our stay. They were in contact regularly to check if there was anything we needed before we arrived and they helped with restaurant bookings and offered great advice on the best way to travel around Marseille when we were there. Faultless.

A wonderful stay in a small and calm hotel made even better by everyone who works there.

I had a wonderful time at this hotel and would absolutely stay again if I am ever in Marseille. The location was great and walking distance to the pier and lots of shops and restaurants without being directly in the crowds of people. I experienced phenomenal service from everyone I encountered. I received an email when I first booked, which was unexpected and a nice touch. Housekeeping would come around multiple times a day to ask if you needed anything, which was just that extra bit of service that made you feel taken care of. The water in the mini fridge being restocked with water all the time was much appreciated. I did get a massage at the spa- the normal masseuse was on vacation but they had someone on call if you wanted a massage. The infused water and tea always available was nice. I was able to enjoy the outdoor bar area and had delicious craft cocktails made by the bartenders. The beds were super comfy and large and I slept so great- I actually booked this trip when I was staying at an Airbnb out of the country with a horrible bed and reading about the comfortable beds was one of the reasons I chose this hotel and I was not disappointed. I am glad I chose a smaller/boutique hotel because it really added to the calming, vacation/holiday feel. I did use the pool/hot tub and I will say the pool is small and more for standing than swimming as it is not very deep- that is not a criticism, just an fyi. Overall, I had a great time here and recommend it to others.

The only downside I experienced was the shower did seem to get water everywhere in the bathroom which I can't imagine is good for the rooms or for housekeeping to deal with. That said, I have experienced the same type of scenario at multiple hotels/airbnbs in Europe (I'm from the US) so that may not be something out of the ordinary and just something I am not used to.
