An exceptional setting

On one side lies the iconic Vieux Port, an important maritime trading post that flourished from the day Greek sailors from Phocaea first dropped anchor there in 600 BC through to the 19th century. On the other is Rue Beauvau, one of the city\'s oldest streets. From the bar at the Grand Hotel Beauvau, you can feast your eyes on a superb view of the Vieux Port with the Mediterranean in the distance. At the heart of this exceptional setting, you are in the perfect place to explore the rich heritage of this colourful city.

Historic quarter

At one end of La Canebière, overlooked from afar by Notre Dame de la Garde, the Vieux Port is the heart of Marseille. Touches of the past abound, from the vestiges of the Palais de la Bourse to old workshops that are now listed historical monuments. Housed in a building dating from 1816, angled between the Vieux Port and Rue Beauvau, the Grand Hotel Beauvau is intimately connected to the neighbourhood. One of the city\'s oldest, the hotel has been a privileged witness to some 200 years of history.

A haven of Romanticism

Since it first opened, Grand Hotel Beauvau has welcomed great writers who were also great travellers: Mérimée and Lamartine often came, seeking inspiration as they gazed upon the Mediterranean. Chopin, Sand, Musset and Cocteau also stayed here. Extremely well situated, always warmly welcoming, the elegant Grand Hotel Beauvau is a place that inspires daydreams of taking off and travelling the world, but also a desire to soak up the effervescence and picturesque charm of an endlessly exciting city.

A hotel with the accent of Provence

The elegant structure features gentle contours and curved lines, warm colours, beautiful materials and many fine pieces of period furniture dating from the time of Louis Philippe and Napoleon III. Authenticity is key. The decor reflects Provencal culture and the history of the region, and showcases local arts and crafts. Visitors all agree: the Grand Hotel Beauvau ranks among those wonderful hotels that boast an intense yet friendly personality where simplicity and conviviality ensure an unforgettable stay. In a word, it is a place that is like Provence itself.
