Accommodations

Where the sea is centerstage.

Each room opens onto the sea, most with a balcony or a private terrace. The pastel colors and natural wood decor are a reminder of a golden age of the 1950s, tinged with very contemporary touches, but which always fade facing the omnipresence of the sea.
Pool + Gym

A swim sanctuary.

The hotel has an indoor relaxation pool in the Susanne Kaufmann Spa. It's open daily from seven in the morning until eleven at night. The outdoor swimming corridor is open and located on the rooftop.
Spa

Susanne Kaufmann treatments in a refined, timeless space.

The mineral spa is a vision of honey and sand-colored natural wood, opens to the sea, and welcomes you softly with dim lights. Les Bords de Mer wellness area has been designed to bring you calm and serenity. On the program, expect body and facial treatments following Susanne Kaufmann protocols, massages, a sauna, and a hammam, all in a refined and timeless place.
Restaurant + Bar

An intimate oceanfront setting.

Perched above the sea and bathed in natural light, the restaurant offers an intimate oceanfront setting, where every table enjoys panoramic views over the Marseille coastline and the Plage des Catalans. With deep respect for local produce, the cuisine reinterprets Marseille’s culinary heritage, celebrating Mediterranean seafood and Provençal terroir with a contemporary touch.

Seasonal highlights may include Filipino-style ceviche with red chili and pickles, the catch of the day, seared cuttlefish with satay emulsion, lemongrass and ginger-infused chicken supreme, and aged cheeses from the Provençal hinterland. Generous and sun-drenched, the cuisine captures the true spirit of the South, served directly from the iconic Corniche Kennedy in Marseille.

Head to Marseille’s finest rooftop for a moment suspended above the Mediterranean. From coffee and cocktails to tapas, seafood, and even raclette, the menu evolves with the seasons and the weather. It’s the perfect spot for a sunny, relaxed lunch, or sunset drinks overlooking the sea - Marseille’s most spectacular rooftop setting.
