Best Luxury Hotels In Marseille

As one of France’s largest cities and one of its most important commercial centres, Marseille has a wealth of luxury lodging options. In recent years, the city has made great strides in establishing a viable tourism industry and many new hotels have sprung up to cater to this new accommodation requirement. All the main international hotel chains have properties in Marseille and there are many old, typically Marseille style hotels too. The best place to stay in Marseille would have to be in the Vieux Port, where you are right in the middle of everything. Most of the best shopping, restaurants and nightspots are within easy walking distance of the port, and the best hotels have excellent views of the coast and sea. Here is a selection of the city’s leading luxury hotels which have the TLE seal of approval.
