What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Inside the hotel the interiors are just as bright and sunny as the views, with immaculate white rooms jazzed up with pops of sunshine yellow.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Corniche Kennedy runs right outside, hugging the rocky coastline a short drive from Marseille's Old Port.
The rooms
Vibrant pop decor contrasts with calm sleeping quarters, where sliding doors lead to private balconies overlooking the Mediterranean.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Swan-neck jets flow into the indoor hydrotherapy pool under mosaic marine tiles. Outside, loungers line the seawall.
The spa & gym
Sky Bar
Drinks are served across blue and yellow lounge seating, and the rooftop terrace looks toward Château d'If.
At the table
Restaurant Les Bains serves breakfast and fresh Mediterranean seafood on a terrace looking out over the breakwater.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
