ibis Martigues Centre

The rooms come in three configurations: a double room, a twin room and a triple room. The first two are 13 m² and can accommodate two people; the triple room measures 15 m² and sleeps up to three. The latter stands out for its greater capacity and combination of one single bed and one double bed.

All room types have a private bathroom, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and city views. The Standard Double Room has a double bed, while the Standard Twin Room has two single beds. Room amenities include a shower, toilet, hairdryer and desk. A lift serves the upper floors. The descriptions of the three room types make it easy to choose between a double bed, two separate beds or a configuration for three people.

The hotel has several places to eat and drink: a restaurant, a bar, an on-site café and a snack bar. The buffet also includes options for children, and children’s menus are available. Wine and champagne are among the choices on offer. A terrace with outdoor furniture adds a place to sit outside. The fitness centre is open 24 hours a day.

The reception is open day and night and provides luggage storage; private check-in and check-out, as well as express check-in and check-out, are available. The free private car park has an electric vehicle charging point. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel. Facilities to assist guests with reduced mobility include a lower-height sink, toilets with grab rails and wheelchair access. Guests can also make use of the shared lounge, board games, and laundry, ironing and dry-cleaning services.

Martigues lies between the Étang de Berre and the Mediterranean, in Bouches-du-Rhône. Its canals and waterside neighbourhoods have earned it the nickname “Venice of Provence”. Ferrières, where the hotel is located, offers access to the quays and streets of the centre. The city suits travellers looking to combine urban walks, local heritage and trips to the coast.

The Musée d'histoire de Martigues is 60 m away and explores the city’s past. The Musée Ziem, 580 m away, houses collections of art and local history. Ferrières Beach, 750 m away, is a place to spend time by the water. Sea shuttles serve several stops near the centre, and Martigues and Croix-Sainte railway stations are 2.3 km away. Marseille-Provence Airport is 12 km away; the A55 connects the city to the region’s road network.

Allow time to walk along Martigues’ canals, pass through the old neighbourhoods and visit the museums. On fine days, you can take a break on a terrace or spend the day on the Côte Bleue, whose coves and beaches line the coast. In spring and autumn, milder temperatures are well suited to walks around the city and excursions nearby. In summer, you can alternate swimming with a visit to the centre, bearing in mind that the coast can be busy. A car makes it easier to get to the beaches and neighbouring towns.
