Best Western Plus Hotel La Joliette

Looking for a place to stay in Marseille that puts you within easy walking distance of the city’s top attractions? This modern hotel near the waterfront ticks all the boxes.

In just five minutes or so, you can be meandering along the cobbled lanes and cosy squares of the hilly Old Town (Le Panier), which dates back to 600 BC when it was originally settled by the Greeks. The impressive Cathédrale La Majori is also just a five-minute stroll away, while the Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations, Fort Saint-Jean and the Old Port area are just a little further on, making this a prime spot for visiting the must-see sights.

If you’d prefer to use public transport, no problem – there’s a metro station (Joliette) just around the corner, as well as multiple tram and bus stops nearby.

When you’re ready to take a breather from exploring, a refreshing dip in the hotel’s indoor pool is the perfect way to unwind, or you may prefer to enjoy a coffee or a glass of wine in the courtyard. Expect plenty of choice at the breakfast buffet in the mornings, which will set you up for the day with fresh bread, pastries, cold cuts and lots more. Later on, feel free to stop by the lounge bar for a drink before venturing out for the evening, or one last tipple before bed.

All the rooms here are air-conditioned and soundproofed, and come with a TV and free high-speed Wi-Fi access – everything you need for a comfortable stay in France’s second city.
