Sofitel Marseille Vieux Port

"In the historic center of Marseille, "the Sofitel is a beautiful oasis in an old city"—within walking distance of Notre-Dame de la Garde and the old port. Designed to mimic the style of a lavish yacht, interiors are outfitted with deep-blue carpets and have floor-to-ceiling windows. The contemporary rooms are "just perfect to return to," with wooden venetian blinds and bathrooms fitted with double tubs or hydromassage showers. At Le Carré Bistromanie, the bar is trimmed in white tufted leather, and guests can order tapas like homemade foie gras with their cocktails. Les Trois Forts’ breakfast is "the best ever—an incredible way to start the day."
