Intercontinental Marseille Hotel Dieu 5* —
Just for you:
- Included parking
Rising proudly above the old harbour, the Intercontinental Marseille Hotel Dieu 5* occupies a stately eighteenth‑century monument whose noble stone façade and vaulted corridors echo centuries of Marseille’s past. Intricate staircases curve upward beside soaring windows that frame shifting sky and distant sails.
Beyond the hotel, the Old Port unfolds with a rhythm all its own. Sunlight shimmers on gently bobbing boats, while the scent of sea salt mingles with freshly baked bread and the faint smokiness of grilled seafood. Above, the silhouette of Notre-Dame de la Garde crowns the city, its presence guiding evening strolls as the harbour lights glimmer like jewels against the water, casting a quiet, enduring magic over every step.
