What a fabulous hotel the Sofitel Marseille Vieux Port is. We arrived in Marseille one cold rainy evening after a long drive from the Dordogne.  We saw the Sofitel sign and headed for it and were so tired we simply requested a room and WOW what a surprise. The room was decorated in the most beautiful golds and greens very luxurious and quite large. Flat screen TV  and a superb bathroom with Hermes toiletries.


However this was nothing to waking up the next morning and drawing the curtains to discover we had a large terrace overlooking the old port with a Harbour View with tables chairs and sun loungers. We admired the view as we had our breakfast sitting in the now sunshine

The staff were very friendly and efficient. The hotel is in a perfect location  a 15min walk into the central area of Marseille. 
We were offered a fantastic rate and decided to stay for another night. The dinner was superb,the restaurant being on the 7th floor of the hotel with amazing views. The public areas were of a very high standard and  the outdoor swimming pool of a good size, we had a superb stay.
