The first thing to strike you about Les Bords de Mer will be its stunning view of the Mediterranean Sea, stretching as far as the eye can see. It is one of the most gorgeous views in all of Marseilles and the light is unlike anywhere else in the world.
There is the sense of getting away from it all, a breath of fresh air and new lease on life, an invitation to travel and an exciting destination: Marseilles.
The location of the hotel is a special one, located at the heart of this city founded by the Phoenicians: it is built directly on the sea, feet already in the water, at the end of the Catalans beach and in front of the Cercle des Nageurs building.
As it’s centrally located the Old Port is just five minutes away on foot, with the first calanques 20 minutes away.The rooms face outwards towards the sea but that’s not all: the restaurant, bar, heated rooftop swimming pool, spa, fitness room and seaside café all open up onto the sea.
When staying at Les Bords de Mer there is the sense of having one foot in the surf and the other in the city centre. It’s breakfast in the Vallons des Auffes, a visit to the Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisation and a boat trip to the Frioul archipelago.
It’s about not being able to tell where the sea ends and the sky starts, watching the sailing ships enter and leave the port and wondering where they’ve come from and where they’re headed, it’s dreams, chance meetings and experiences which have come to define Marseilles’s identity.
Rooms with a view
Les Bords de Mer offers 19 rooms, each opening out onto the Mediterranean Sea. The decorations selected use a pastel colour scheme and natural wood to harken back to the golden age of the 50s, with contemporary touches, and all the while never losing sight of the permanence of the vast sea before them.
Food and drink
Les Bords de Mer is also home to a restaurant which offers a lively, healthy, modern, tangy, varied seafood-based menu. It is located right at the water level and during springtime tables are set out along its terrace rooftop.
The fifty tables in the main dining room with its bay windows and the terrace all provide a stunning view of the sea, the Château d’If and the Frioul archipelago.
“Les Bords de Mer” restaurant experience
Les Bords de Mer restaurant offers a lively, healthy and modern seafood-based cuisine. Situated just above the water, guests can enjoy an alfresco dining experience on the splendid roof terrace during the spring.
The well-stocked cellar offers a selection of Domaine de Fontenille wines, as well as a selection from the surrounding region and some of the best in France.
ROOFTOP BAR
Guest are welcome to enjoy our selection of signature cocktails that are all infused with Provencale aromas, as well as an excellent wine tasting experience. All the while, whether indoors or on the roof terrace, visitors cannot help but be captivated by the view of the Mediterranean.
