We spent two nights at Residence du Vieux Port, including my birthday. The hotel is perfectly located on the old harbour with great places to walk, eat and shop in close proximity. No need to drive anywhere. Staff were great, rooms modern and clean, and breakfast was perfect. If you stay, get a harbour view room, well worth the expense.... More

We just returned from four days at this spectacular hotel in Vieux Port of Marseille. The local is amazing and the views outside of the room take your breath away. We stayed in a two-bedroom suite on the 7th floor. A wonderful, spacious room. Walking distance to all the restaurants and nightlife. Service at the hotel was superb as well.... More

We stayed here for four nights in early April and enjoyed our room immensely. We booked the suite on the top floor of the hotel which overlooked the harbor and Notre Dame on the hillside opposite. The room is, I believe, one of two on the top floor and is so situated and the privacy is exquisite. The living room... More

We arrived at 12 noon on a Tuesday after a very early flight to be told to come back at 3pm. Which was a bit offputting! We were tired and were forced to have a 3 hour lunch! We had booked a club room with an extra bedroom we had no need of, I don't no why we paid extra.... More

This is a great hotel in an excellent location. What makes it special is the glorious view and the warmth and professionalism of the staff. The room was spotless and well decorated, it was the perfect place to have a Ricard from the mini bar and enjoy the view before heading out to dinner! We would definitely stay here again.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
From the quai of the old port of Marseille, you can hardly miss the shimmering, geometric gold-and-silver concrete facade of La Résidence du Vieux Port, so startlingly different from the traditional Provençal architecture surrounding it. The landmark hotel, built in 1954 by young architect André-Jacques Dunoyer de Segonzac, is a mix of Le Corbusier-inspired clean-line minimalism and a touch of snazzy Art Deco. Once a popular celebrity haunt—frequented by Orson Welles, François Truffaut, Yves Montand, Françoise Sagan. ... more   less
