Jetsetter "Marseille’s hottest address, with unrivaled views of the city, lavish guestrooms and an award-winning breakfast." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "In the historic center of Marseille, "the Sofitel is a beautiful oasis in an old city"—within walking distance of Notre-Dame de la Garde and the old port." Full review
