Marseille welcomes over 5 million visitors annually, including 2 million cruise passengers who arrive with tight schedules and immediate booking needs. As France's oldest city and gateway to the Mediterranean, hotels face a unique blend of tourism types—from day-trippers exploring the Old Port to families spending weeks at nearby beaches to business travelers attending conferences.
