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
Star Service "This remains the most stylish and steadfast service-oriented hotel on the second tier. It is known as a standout commercial address, a reputation it works hard to preserve." Full review
