Hotel Maison Montgrand, Marseille

35 Rue Montgrand, 13006 Marseille, France. (show on map)

Hotel Maison Montgrand is a hidden gem tucked away in the heart of Marseille’s historic city centre. This charming boutique hotel is set within an elegant 19th-century private mansion, with two adjoining buildings dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries. Recently renovated, the property beautifully blends classical architecture with modern Mediterranean design.

A standout feature is the sprawling 400-square-metre interior garden. It serves as a peaceful, leafy sanctuary where guests can escape the city’s energy. Beyond the rooms, the hotel functions as a cultural hub, hosting temporary art exhibitions and featuring a concept store that showcases local craftsmanship, including delicious regional biscuits.

The location is ideal for exploring the city’s rich history. You are just a stone’s throw from the iconic Old Port (Vieux-Port), the vibrant soul of Marseille. Whether you want to wander through the narrow, historic streets or head toward the coast, you are perfectly positioned to reach major landmarks.

Nearby, you can easily access the MuCEM museum with its striking contemporary architecture, or take a short trip to see the famous Basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde. For a dose of nature and stunning coastal views, the breathtaking Calanques National Park is also within reach, making this hotel a fantastic base for both urban discovery and seaside adventures.

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“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.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 hours in Marseille.

Frommers review:

“This bargain concept hotel shouts Marseille at every turn. Sited in two sister apartment blocks, simple new rooms share a massive communal space in the reception townhouse. This funky area features a nail bar, a perfumery, an outdoor restaurant, and a pour-your-own-Provençal wine dispenser.”

Telegraph review:

“This one-of-a-kind hotel packs boutiques, cafés, perfumeries and sleeps into two lovingly converted 18th and 19th-century townhouses. It’s nuttily conceptual: a higgledy-piggledy ground floor boasts a tea salon, beach store, perfumery, café and a vast bamboo garden, for instance.”

Very good

The rooms are nice and quiet; the dinner was exceptional

Breakfast is not that exciting, and there is very little space at the buffet. The dishes were partly washed by hand, which seemed a little unhygienic.

Super location

Lovely hotel in a nice part of Nice. Rooms, which are spotless, are apartment style located in a number of buildings on Rue Montgrand. Contential breakfast served in restaurant or garden in main building. Great location close to Vieux Port. There's a square on the way to the Vieux Port which has lots of good quality restaurants. Felt safe in area around hotel.

Chic boutique hotel in great location!

Lovely hotel in several old buildings, only a short walk from the Vieux Port. The area is good, great shops, restaurants and 5min walk to the Metro. Breakfast was excellent and dinner too! Bed was very comfortable.

Room was on small side but I think that's just the old building layout.

Lovely old hotel in near to everything

Beautiful main building with lovely reception area and breakfast room. Outdoor private terrace which was lovely to sit in. Walking distance into the port and close to shopping streets. Good restaurants nearby. Delicious breakfast.

All the rooms are in separate buildings along the street. Our room was comfortable but no outlook. Theres tea and coffee facilities in the room but only paper cups which are awful to drink from as they get too hot. Really need china cups. No safe in the room.

Perfect for a short stay

Excellent location and FANTASTIC restaurant- the food was fantastic and definitely the high point of our stay.

Provisions such as water in our room would have been great. The water pump on the ground floor wasn’t so helpful to us on the third floor.

A great place to stay and catch your cruise

My family's stay at Maison Montgrand delightful! The staff at the reception was very helpful. The breakfast offered a wide range of delicious meals, ensuring that every member of our family, from the youngest to the oldest, was satisfied and well-fueled for the day ahead. The rooms were spotless and provided a cozy and comfortable retreat for our family and we appreciated the attention to cleanliness and detail. To top it all off, the internet service was incredibly fast and reliable, which was a big plus for streaming content and keeping everyone entertained for our short stay.

We had to carry our large boxes ourselves because the hotel doesn't have a porter. The family room was a bit small for 5 persons. We were cramped. The breakfast was great, but lacked a touch of veggies.

Great location to visit Marseille, in a quiet street. The staff was always welcoming and kind.

The room was a little bit small for two people, with no drawers or closet shelves, and not even enough space to roll out a yoga mat.

Very good

There is no parking at the hotel, but there is a loading area for the luggage right in front of the hotel and a paying public parking at 100m from the hotel. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast was very good, possible to eat outside on the cosy patio.

There is a free water dispenser on the ground floor, would be perfect if there was one on each level.

Clean room, good breakfast, convenient location, and a great bed with a comfortable mattress.

However, the large bed took up most of the space in the small room, making it feel a bit cramped. The price could also be a bit lower.

The hotel is distributed across several buildings on the same street. The lobby, breakfast area and garden are very nice. We received a warm welcome when we arrived late at night and enjoyed a good breakfast. The hotel is conveniently located very close to the old port.

Our standard room felt a bit like a box and didn't have much natural light, but it was clean and comfortable.

Centrally located near large car parks and easy to walk to the old port . Lovely atmospheric courtyard where you could have drinks or breakfast.

Lift was broken so we were allocated a different room across the road from the main building . The room was ok but the fabric of the headboard needed replacing - it had very large old stain on it . Not good considering the price of the hotel

Our regular home from home in Marseille

Great location near to Old Port with an EFFIA parking lot at the end of the street. Staff are super-friendly to both people and dogs, which has served us well on numerous stays over the years. Good breakfast buffet in a charming courtyard.

Rooms on the ground floor can be noisy, and the elevator is tiny, so best travel light.
