What was good and what was bad?

Good
- Nice welcome gift
- Improvement of the service after the difficult Covid times.
- Perfect location, close to the Vieux Port, Mucem museum, in the heart of Panier historical district (with superb Vieille Charité), 15 minutes walk to rue Grignan with elegant boutiques. Shared bike station down the hotel (convenient for visiting the city or go by the sea).
- Very nice historical building (the interior design is elegant, still Jean-Philippe Nuel has a limited range of creation, which may fail to be truly contemporary, or to highlight the historic architecture).
- Pleasant indoor pool and spa
- Superb view from the terrace
- Fast wifi
- Very good breakfast
- Marseille is a great city

Bad
- Service at breakfast can be slow (but hotel was pretty full this weekend).

Value for $ or IHG Rewards Points? Would you return?
