Mercure Marseille Canebière Vieux Port ★★★★

Avenue de la Canebière is the kind of street that represents an entire city all on its own. A lively artery that runs through the historical quarter right down to the marina at the old port, it has its own story that will reveal itself to you step by step. So, there is no better place to be based in Marseille than right here, in the centre of the action. Housed in a traditional Haussmannian building with its quintessential stone facade, the Mercure Marseille Canebière Vieux-Port will immerse you in all the history and excitement of the avenue.

Recent renovation has created a trendy, minimalist interior that mirrors the youthful, stylish energy of the city. Your room is a chic urban haven where the large, comfortable bed dominates, and neutral colours punctuated by on-trend geometric patterns make a tranquil yet super cool environment to relax in.

Part of Marseille’s revival has been the explosion of its food scene. So, it of course makes sense that the hotel’s chic brasserie Le Capucin is an elegant dining destination, where high quality produce is used to create a meeting of traditional indulgence and contemporary flair. And to taste many of the other local specialties, you are spoilt for choice in the surrounding streets so never have too far to go. To uncover all the magic of France’s second city from a luxurious, modern base, your first choice should be the Mercure Marseille Canebière Vieux-Port.
