PRIME SPOT IN MARSEILLE’S OLD PORT
Located right in the heart of Marseille’s bustling Old Port, and just steps away from all major transport links, this handy hotel’s well placed for access to everything Frances’ second largest city has to offer. Expect the next couple of days to be packed with exciting things to do if you spend your city break here.
For starters, Fort Saint-Jean, one of Marseille’s most visited monuments, is only a 15-minute stroll from the hotel and has been charming tourists with its sweeping views of the port for decades. Walk just a little further and you’ll arrive at the Mucem – a modern museum packed with artefacts and collections that span the entire history of western civilisation. Spend a few hours admiring its many exhibitions and you may feel like a world-class anthropologist by the time you’ve finished.
Looking to pack in as many sights as possible? Consider taking a trip on the Little Tourist Train of Marseille. The station’s just a nine-minute stroll from the hotel and is a whistlestop tour of the city’s most popular sights in just 90 minutes. On your journey, expect to see the cathedral, the Le Panier district, Saint-Laurent esplanade and many more. The train’s not very fast either, so be ready with the camera phone for when you need to grab that perfect photo opportunity.
Feeling hungry? You’re in luck, the Old Port has the largest number of restaurants in Marseille with a mouth-watering mix of international eateries, fine-dining establishments, and traditional French brasseries serving up everyone’s favourite steak-frites. Back at the hotel, you can look forward to a delicious breakfast buffet of hot and cold dishes using local ingredients sourced from across the region. The ideal start to another day of exploring the sights of this historical city.
