Hotel C2, a Design Boutique Hotel Marseille, France

"A private mansion built at the end of the 19th century, a time when Marseille was the “Gateway to the East”, the building reflected the wealth of its then-owners, rich merchants from Greece. Neglected during the latter part of the last century, the building today is being reborn with the Marseille of the 21st century. The marble, parquet floors, columns, bas-reliefs, frescoes and bronze banister are still there, set off by a subtle and modern simplicity. If you love life, interaction, diversity and artistic encounters, if having someone listen to you attentively and considerately seems a rare privilege to you, then you will feel at home at the C2 in the heart of the new Marseille. Far from conventional norms, in the stillness of a vertical garden, 20 quiet and light-filled rooms, a singular spa, divine bar and stunning beach await you." - My Boutique Hotel (en)
