Accommodation - France - Marseille
As a major working city and France's foremost trading port, there continues to exists a strong division of wealth throughout Marseille society, ranging from pockets of exceptional affluence to an underclass of abject poverty. Correspondingly, the array of accommodation is similarly vast and somewhat limited as pertains to the needs of the sophisticated traveller.
Rates at the major hotels can be surprisingly high relative to Marseille's limited appeal as a luxury tourist destination, smaller boutique accommodation often representing better value and providing for a more diverse cultural experience otherwise unobtainable at the larger chains. The general standard of accommodation seems to maintain an unfortunate sense of 80's datedness, particularly with regard to decor. Although constantly improving with the continued construction of new modern hotels, including the Radisson SAS and Pharo, it is perhaps best not to expect the same sense of refinement normally associated with the major hotels located in Europe's other major city's.
Although Marseille has advanced considerably from the seedy, drug ridden, garbage strewn city it was in the 70's and 80's, unemployment and crime still remain looming social issues today. Hotel location and security should hence be considered an important factor in determination of one's accommodation requirements.
Positioning oneself further inland can provide for a pleasant alternative, Les Baux Provence being particularly delightful and only a moderate drive from the city. Forgoing the activities and buzz of the city is more than offset by the pleasant surrounds and exceptional cuisine provided at La Cabro d'Or or Oustau de Baumaniere, renowned establishments each.

Hotel Promotional Extract - A unique place within an exceptional site, the hotel Le Corbusier opens its doors on the utopia of a man that has become a reality: the Cité radieuse (radiant city) of Marseille. As an historical conservation area, nothing has changed since 1952: neither the space organization nor the light, the clearness, the parc; the facades or the furniture. Spirit and materials are there. Integrated from the start by the great architect, the hotel Le Corbusier located at the heart of this vertical city offers a great diversity of services: cute bedrooms, studios, large bedrooms. It is a rare place for stay, charged with sense, magic and calms that we propose to you.
