Préfecture

Préfecture blends stately government buildings with cultural gems, creating a sophisticated Marseille experience. The 19th-century Prefecture building stands proudly amid wide, tree-lined boulevards. Art lovers can explore Musée Cantini's modern works, while the ornate Cathédrale de St Nicolas de Myre offers architectural splendour. The waterfront is just a short stroll away. Business-focused cafés serve quick lunches during weekdays, while traditional Provençal bistros offer authentic bouillabaisse. The area empties after working hours, providing a peaceful atmosphere for evening walks.

A coastal cityscape with a prominent hilltop mosque, dense residential buildings, and a rocky shoreline.

Notre-Dame du Mont

Notre-Dame du Mont serves up Marseille's coolest cultural cocktail with an artsy kick. Colourful murals splash across Cours Julien while vintage shops and indie boutiques beckon between North African spice shops and hip cafés. The area pulses with music venues and buzzing restaurant terraces where locals share tables under string lights. La Friche Belle de Mai keeps the creative energy flowing with exhibitions and performances. The Notre Dame du Mont metro station connects to Mediterranean beaches just 15 minutes away. Accommodation range from bohemian B&Bs to artist lofts with rooftop terraces. The steep hillside streets might challenge calves but reward with stunning city views.

A marina with numerous sailboats docked, wooden piers, and buildings in the background.

Old Port of Marseille

The Old Port of Marseille wraps you in 2,600 years of maritime magic where fishing boats bob alongside fancy yachts. Greek settlers started this party way back in 600 BCE, and now you get to enjoy their epic harbour hangout. The daily fish market buzzes with local energy while the mirror canopy reflects Mediterranean light in all directions. Fort Saint-Jean guards the entrance like a watchful friend. Between seafood feasts and strolls along the U-shaped harbour, you'll find narrow cobblestone streets hiding Provençal treasures. Hop on Metro Line 1 at Vieux-Port Station when your feet need a break. Boutique hotels in converted historic buildings put you right in the heart of the action.

A crowded square with a large, open-air ceiling decorated with numerous hanging lights.

Marseille and related destinations

Between the old port's fishing boats and the gleaming MuCEM museum, Marseille's Mediterranean spirit shines brightest. Climb to Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica for views that explain why painters have been obsessed with this light for centuries. The ancient Le Panier district reveals narrow streets where laundry flaps above tiny squares. At Palais Longchamps, fountains cascade dramatically beneath a palatial facade. The Calanques offer limestone cliffs plunging into impossibly blue water - nature's perfect counterpoint to urban grit. Locals debate which restaurant serves authentic bouillabaisse with the same passion they reserve for their football club. The Vieux Port transforms each morning into France's most aromatic fish market, where fishermen sell what they caught hours earlier.

Hôtel la Résidence du Vieux Port

Hôtel la Résidence du Vieux Port

8/10 Good

"Excellent location. Lovely view from hotel room overlooking the Old Port. Helpful staff. Only criticism is the lack of a comfortablebar/lounge"

Maisons du Monde Hôtel & Suites - Marseille Vieux Port

Maisons du Monde Hôtel & Suites - Marseille Vieux Port

10/10 Excellent

"Good location in middle of an area bustling with people, locals and tourists. The area near the old harbor is charming and has many restaurants with outdoor seating. Our room had a twin bed with a sleeper sofa. It was priced okay but was a little small for a family of three. However we did not mind that for a one night stay. The restaurant next door is excellent and convenient. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I loved Lou, she was very helpful to us and helped with our delayed luggage issues."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Marseille

Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Marseille is in January, February, and December, when hotel prices are generally lower. For those on a budget, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is advisable to fully appreciate the city's significant landmarks, cultural sites, and historical attractions. During your visit, you can explore the stunning port, immerse yourself in the local culture at various museums and cafes, dine at great value for money restaurants, stroll along the marina, and take part in delightful shopping experiences. Additionally, visiting the magnificent cathedral and joining guided tours will enrich your experience of this beautiful city.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Marseille, explore the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. To stay updated on potential savings, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications for flash sales and special promotions. Additionally, the Smart Shopping feature available in the app allows travellers to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you make informed choices. With these tools, you're more likely to see great accommodation deals and be the first to know about any price drops or availability changes.
Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a hotel in Marseille. For those in search of distinctive experiences, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we’ll suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable, helping you to secure a better deal.
Consider your location: Choosing accommodation closer to key attractions or city centres may offer convenience, but it often comes with higher costs. For more affordable options, you might consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between price and ease of access to the places you wish to visit. Independent hotels located a bit further out usually tend to be more affordable and can provide a more authentic experience.
