An Art Deco icon on Marseille's corniche
Bâtie dans les années 1930 face à la mer, la façade blanche emblématique de l’hôtel Les Bords de Mer incarne l’architecture moderniste marseillaise. Ce bâtiment iconique Art Déco allie héritage balnéaire, design épuré et ouverture totale sur la Méditerranée.

Window on the Mediterranean
This boutique hotel in Marseille overlooks the sea, just a stone’s throw from Catalans Beach and opposite the Cercle des Nageurs. Nestled in the heart of the city centre, only five minutes from the Old Port and twenty minutes from the first Calanques, Les Bords de Mer is an invitation to discover an extraordinary Mediterranean city: Marseille.
Lunch in the Vallons des Auffes, visit the Mucem and take a cruise to the Frioul islands. Lose yourself in the sky and sea, and think of somewhere else, that somewhere else made up of dreams, encounters and experiences that have for centuries been the richness of Marseille's identity. Every space — from the rooms to the restaurant, rooftop, sea-view pool and spa — faces the sea.
