Boutique hotel in a restored 17th-century convent, steps from the Old Port
Property & History
Le Couvent Marseille occupies a former 17th-century convent that has been converted into eight residential-style apartments. The building retains original architectural details while offering high-quality furnishings and attention to décor. Guests access the property through a private entrance on a quiet street in the Le Panier district.
Accommodations
Each apartment includes a fully equipped kitchenette, a private bathroom with bathtub or shower, and a washing machine. Units range from 34 m2 to 85 m2, with some featuring duplex layouts and inner courtyard views. Rooms are named by size and configuration, such as the Deluxe One-Bedroom Apartment (52 m2) or the Duplex Apartment (80 m2).

Vieux-Port Metro station is less than 1 km away, and the Museum of Civilizations of Europe and the Mediterranean (MuCEM) is an 8-minute walk. Nearby attractions also include La Vieille Charité and the Old Port itself.
Services & Amenities

Free WiFi is provided throughout the building, and bathrobes, hairdryers, and free toiletries are supplied in each bathroom. A parking garage is available nearby for an additional fee.

Guests can access ice-skating, boating, and scuba diving opportunities within a short distance from the hotel. Marseille Provence Airport is 21 km away, reachable by public transport or taxi. The property is also close to bus and metro lines that connect to other coastal destinations.

“I was impressed with the hotel's unique conversion of a 17th-century convent into residential-style suites. Its location in the Panier district offers a quiet escape, still near the Old Port and MUCEM. The design shows attention to detail, and I particularly appreciate the fully equipped kitchens for longer stays, providing a blend of history and modern comfort.”
