Grand Hôtel Beauvau Marseille Vieux-Port - MGallery

The hotel is located on the Vieux-Port, right next to a metro line for easy access to the rest of the city. The front desk was very friendly and welcoming, ready to answer any questions I might have. The room was very well structured, with plenty of "hidden" storage space for my things. I really appreciate the mini-bar and its complementary water. The shower with a fully-closing door (instead of the half-door found in many hotel showers) was nice, too. There were plenty of USB, USB-C, and standard (220V) outlets next to the bed and near the table for devices. Breakfast was very tasty with attentive service and a large menu that varied slightly from day-to-day. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the area, and hope I can return some day.

The Grand Hôtel Beauvau is a very good choice for a stay in Marseille, especially if you prioritise location, character and a boutique feel with good service. It excels at giving you an “immersed in the city and harbour” experience. However, if your priority is ultra-luxury finishing, very large modern rooms or high-end corporate amenities, then you might want to check room category carefully or compare with a newer luxury property. “Stay here if you want to be right in the heart of Marseille with the harbour on your doorstep — choose a harbour-view room for the full effect.” ⸻ 💡 Practical tips • Book a harbour-view room if budget allows — you’ll likely get the best value from the stay. • Arrive with expectations aligned: For example, knowing that some rooms may still reflect their historic age, but have charm rather than ultra-modern luxury. • Check for ongoing works: If you’re travelling during a time when renovations are noted (e.g., early 2025) ask if any parts (restaurant, bar, certain floors) are affected. • Time your arrival: Since the hotel is super central, consider arriving earlier in the day so you can immediately step out and enjoy the waterfront atmosphere. • Plan for noise if you’re sensitive: If you prefer quiet nights, consider requesting a room not directly facing the bustling quay. • Use the location: Make the most of being near the Vieux-Port — breakfast by the water, evening strolls, boat rides, Le Panier district are all walking distance. • Check breakfast and amenities: Many guests highlight breakfast and view from the dining area, so this could be a nice special moment. • Parking & transport: Given the central location, parking may be limited or costly. If driving, check ahead. Otherwise leverage metro/tram/boat from Vieux-Port.

We loved our stay at the Grand Hotel Beauvau in Marseille. Perfect location right on the harbour front. We had a newly renovated room which was bright, airy and well appointed with beautiful finishes. The breakfast was lovely and we enjoyed looking out over the port every morning. Helpful staff on reception. Overall we’d highly recommend. We got an amazing deal for our trip through Secret Escapes.

Arrived via train station, easy taxi or metro to hotel. Upon arrival room was ready and given a port view which was breathtaking. While the room is on the small side all amenities and finishings top quality. Highly recommend just check your bill as breakfast is auto added but then had to have it removed as we didn't eat.

Historic hotel with a view directly across the old port. Our room with a small balcony on the fifth floor had this amazing view. Despite the area being very busy and loud the double glazed doors did a good job of keeping the noise down. Even if you do not have your own room with a view you can enjoy the view from the bar area/breakfast room. Truely worth it. |The room was a duplex with a small downstairs living area that can have two single beds. It also has a seperate toilet. The upstairs bedroom and bathroom have a steep set of stairs so not for anyone with mobility issues. |It is an Historic hotel which comes with its own quirks. Creaky lift etc. The room decor is looking a bit sad and could use some updating. |Bathrooms are clean, spacious and with good towels and amenities. |Breakfast was very good in selection and quality. |Although this is an MGallery it is rated as a four star not a five star. Staff are not just courteous but extremely helpful and kind. |The place is by no means cheap, in fact the rack rates being quoted at the time of our stay were eye watering. It is all about the location which is unbeatable.

When entering, one of the random guests whom were outside told me that it is a "great hotel", and it indeed was! People were very friendly (including at the bar), location was near city center with plenty of restaurants etc, and breakfast was delicious! I stayed at terrace suite, and the view was magnificent!

The room was well laid out and looked recently renovated with a new bathroom and separate toilet. The design and facilities in the room are very good. It would be good if the hotel would add a rack for the guests' toiletries in the shower. Also this new system for bedding (which I have experienced recently in another hotel) of a single washable duvet cover (with a duvet inside) and no sheet, does not allow the sleeper any temperature control. You can be too hot or too cold but can't get rid of the duvet without having nothing over you at all. If I visited again I would bring a bed sheet!

We stayed here for 3 nights. The best thing about this hotel was the location in the old port area, easily accessible by metro from the train station. The hotel itself isn’t new or modern, however it does exude an old-world charm. We had a room with view of the old port. Being right next to a busy traffic area, some of the street noise does get through the windows esp the siren from emergency vehicles (and there seems to be a lot of them!), but even as a light-sleeper the small amount of street noise didn’t bother me. The bathroom is renovated and modern. There is an aircon system in the room which worked well as it was quite warm when we were there. In terms of value, it probably isn’t the best price/value, but for the location it can’t be beaten.
