C2 HÔTEL * * * * *
5-star hotel with spacious rooms, a garden and a magnificent spa in the heart of the city centre.
C2 is a 5-star hotel set in a characterful 19th-century mansion in the heart of the city center. An atypical establishment designed by two Marseilles architects, it offers an enchanting setting and top-quality accommodation. The rooms are bright and spacious, each with its own distinctive character. We love the modern, thoughtful design, with furniture by Antonio Citterio, Patricia Urquiola, the Campana brothers, Arne Jacobsen and Ron Arad. Prestige rooms feature bathrooms with bathtubs. On the top floor, two Exclusive rooms feature balconies overlooking the famous Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde and a flat-screen TV integrated above the bathtub, complete with private shower-hammam. In the garden, you can enjoy a moment of relaxation, far from the hustle and bustle of the city. The hotel also boasts a magnificent spa, open to all Marseilles residents. The icing on the cake: a private beach on the islet of Gaby in the harbor of Marseilles! A classy, atypical address!
