If you want a hotel with a view in Marseille:
- Sofitel Vieux Port: recently renovated, very nice view, but a bit expensive (a Novotel next to the Sofitel is cheaper)
- Radisson Blu Marseille: along the Vieux Port, with walking distance to historical centre
- Pullman: rooms are not huge, but all have view over the sea (having a car is better has the hotel is located along the Corniche)
- Le Petit Nice Passédat: Relais & Châteaux with lovely restaurant
- M Gallery: no pool but view over the Vieux Port for some rooms

Remember also that a new InterContinental will open in May 2013.
