France's original city:
Dating back over 2000 years, Marseille is France's oldest city. It also holds the honour of being France's largest port and the most important city in the Provence/Côte d'Azur region. Home to Southern Europe's largest industrial space, the city has long held a "Bad Boy" reputation as one of the country's roughest and edgiest cities. However, within the last 5 years, Marseille has undergone a remarkable transformation into an affluent place combining cutting-edge art, music and culture with relaxed seaside appeal.
Visit top attractions such as the 16th century prison, Chateau d'If, immortalized in Alexander Dumas's The Count of Monte Cristo. Close to the hotel is the Abbaye St. Victor which is the final resting place of several 4th century martyrs. Marseille is fast evolving into one of the Mediterranean's newest hot spots to see and been seen!
