New Hotel of Marseille
4 star hotelHotel71 Boulevard Charles Livon, Marseille, 13007, FranceBuilt beneath the Saint Victor Abbey and Fort Saint Nicolas, the original 19th-Century building of New Hotel of Marseille was once the home of L’Institut Pasteur. This four-star hotel offers everything from refined rooms to an outdoor swimming pool, patio and art gallery.
