Maisons du Monde Hôtel & Suites - Marseille Vieux Port

We recommend the address to the brand's customers who want to test the furniture before purchase, and to thirty-something couples seeking coherent design without palace rates. Families appreciate the suites and the pet policy, the Vieux-Port at the door. It is a hotel for shopping and culture weekends, not for a silent retreat (the quay stays lively until late).

The hotel occupies a Haussmannian building renovated in 2017, typical ochre façade of the Vieux-Port. Interiors entirely redone according to Maisons du Monde codes: chevron parquet, preserved mouldings, graphic wallpapers, assumed mix of eras. Each floor follows a distinct décor universe, from pared-back Scandinavian to classic chic via raw industrial. Ceiling height 3.20 m in the port-side rooms, generous volumes for an urban boutique hotel.

43 quai des Belges stands at the entrance to the Vieux-Port, between La Canebière and Fort Saint-Jean. The Mucem seven minutes on foot, Le Panier ten, Gare Saint-Charles fifteen minutes by metro (line 1, Vieux-Port station 200 m away). Bouillabaisse restaurants on the quay, fish market every morning until 13h. The neighbourhood is touristy and lively, animated terraces until midnight in season, dense pedestrian traffic.
