Marseille stretches around a Mediterranean port, between old neighbourhoods, lively avenues and hills that shape the landscape. Alex Hotel & Spa is in the Saint-Charles area, north of the city centre, near the station and La Canebière. This neighbourhood combines the daily comings and goings of travellers with the activity of shopping streets and central squares. It suits those who want to explore Marseille without relying on a car at all times.

Marseille-Saint-Charles station is 220 m away and Saint-Charles metro station is 50 m away. La Canebière leads down towards the Old Port, where quays, boats and promenades offer a first glimpse of the city. The Mémorial de La Marseillaise, 440 m away, traces the history of the French national anthem. The Musée d’Histoire de Marseille and the Jardin des Vestiges let you discover traces of the city’s ancient past. Mucem, devoted to the civilisations of Europe and the Mediterranean, is 1.6 km away. Marseille Provence Airport is 18 km away.

The city centre is easy to explore on foot, while the metro and buses make it easier to reach more distant neighbourhoods. For a day by the water, the beaches and calanques offer another perspective on the city; boat trips are also a way to discover the coastline. In summer, Marseille attracts more visitors, and the heat makes it worth alternating morning visits with breaks in the shade. Spring and autumn are good seasons for urban walks and coastal excursions, with often milder temperatures. A day can begin with the museums in the centre, continue along the quays and end facing the port.
