The Radisson SAS Hotel, Marseille is enviably located just across from the Vieux Port, between the Fort Saint-Nicolas and the Théâtre de la Criée. Marseille Provence Airport is 28 kilometres Northwest of the city while the main train station is an easy 10 minutes walk from the hotel. With an excellent road network, the city is at the crossroads of three motorways connecting Spain, Italy and Northern Europe. A direct high-speed train connection between Paris and Marseille and the presence of 28 international and national airlines at the airport, representing direct connections to more than 80 cities worldwide are making Marseille an easy destination to access.
France's original city:
Dating back over 2000 years, Marseille is France's oldest city. It also holds the honour of being France's largest port and the most important city in the Provence/Côte d'Azur region. Home to Southern Europe's largest industrial space, the city has long held a "Bad Boy" reputation as one of the country's roughest and edgiest cities. However, within the last 5 years, Marseille has undergone a remarkable transformation into an affluent place combining cutting-edge art, music and culture with relaxed seaside appeal.
Visit top attractions such as the 16th century prison, Chateau d'If, immortalized in Alexander Dumas's The Count of Monte Cristo. Close to the hotel is the Abbaye St. Victor which is the final resting place of several 4th century martyrs. Marseille is fast evolving into one of the Mediterranean's newest hot spots to see and been seen!
