Life Is Short for Bad Hotel Rooms!
We've covered some seriously glamorous stays in Paris over the years, but this time, we're taking it outside the city for a change! We’ve got two charming options that will make you feel right at home—only this time, it’s your vacation home!
Sofitel Marseille Vieux Port in Marseille
Nestled in France's oldest city on the Mediterranean, Marseille is a gem of a hotel that's practically a history buff’s dream! Inspired by the rich heritage of Marseille, Sofitel Marseille Vieux Port's iconic spot offers a front-row seat to the Old Port and the city’s vibrant pulse. This hotel takes inspiration from luxurious yachts, featuring nautical touches and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame breathtaking views.
Inside, you'll find 134 rooms that blend soothing neutrals with chic wooden accents and just a hint of turquoise in the headboards and chairs. With marine-themed décor, top-notch Sofitel MyBed™ bedding, and views that make you feel like you're sailing through luxury, you can pick from Prestige Suites, Luxury Rooms, or Superior Rooms that each offer their own spectacular view.
Top it all off with a visit to Les Trois Forts, the hotel’s gourmet restaurant on the top floor, where dining becomes an experience. And if you're in the mood for some pampering, the So Spa awaits with options to unwind or get active in the gym. It's Marseille's blend of history, luxury, and modern indulgence all rolled into one.
