A window on the Mediterranean Sea On the sea, at the end of the Catalans beach and facing the Cercle des Nageurs, the hotel rises in the heart of the city centre, just at 5 minutes from the Old Port and 20 minutes from the first Calanques. Les Bords de Mer is a feeling of escape, a breath of air, an invitation to travel and to discover an extraordinary city: Marseille. It is about having lunch in the Vallons des Auffes, visiting the Mucem and going on a cruise on the Frioul archipelago. It is 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 have come from and where they are headed. The rooms face outwards towards the sea but that is not all: the restaurant, bar, heated rooftop swimming pool, as well as the spa all open up onto the sea.
