C2 Hôtel

Full marks to the architects who turns this 19th century townhouse into a contemporary hotel. So many architects would have ruined the character to maximize profits, but here they took full advantage of the building’s character, while giving it all the style you want in a modern design hotel. The service was friendly and professional - the staff seemed genuinely enthusiastic to be working there and were keen to tell us about the hotel’s history and conversion. The breakfast and bar are superb and the spa in her basement is brilliantly designed. Only a short walk from the hotel to all the bits of Marseille you could want to see! Our room was big, with high ceilings and a great bathroom (the shower had room for six people - not that we availed ourself of that opportunity!), and the toiletries from Hermès were a nice touch. We didn’t get to use the private island as we were only there for a night, but that’s just another reason to return, isn’t it? All in all a lovely experience.

No big deal, but pricing that doesn’t include breakfast is always irritating, particularly at this level.

The hotel was beyond beautiful. The staff was the most caring I have ever experienced. They sent us to an incredible restaurant, then arranged for us to be driven back. When we encountered a train strike for the next stage of our journey they were relentless in finding us a car and driver.

I wish we could have stayed longer.

The spacious modern room all white and so clean And the friendly staff We enjoyed our stay and will definitely recommend to our friends

The hotel is a beautiful town house which has been lovingly restored. My room had a wonderful view of the Notre Dame and was only a short walk from Vieux Port. The staff were wonderful and very helpful.
