InterContinental Marseille is perfectly located, overlooking the Vieux Port, right beside the oldest and most historical quarter of Marseille known as the Panier. InterContinental Marseille is housed in the former Hotel Dieu, a listed historical monument dating back to the 18th century, originally serving as a hostel for pilgrims to the nearby Basilica. The renovations took 2 years, during which various archaeological sites were discovered. You can see some of the artefacts that were excavated, in the dedicated cultural. The Hotel boasts a really beautiful terrace, where life is peaceful and kind, where you can unwind after a busy day and drift into a reverie as you admire the breathtaking views of the Vieux Port and the world-famous Basilica of Notre Dame de la Garde. Marseille, 2600 years old, is the very oldest city in France, the "love-child" of a Greek sailor Protis and a French Princess Gyptis. The Calanques (Provencal fjords) must be seen to be believed! They constitute one the most beautiful and awe-inspiring shorelines in the world and have been designated a Unesco World Heritage.Guests should note that local city tax is not included in the rate booked. This will be charged directly to guests by the hotel and payable at check in/out.
