Since its foundation in 1188, the Hôtel-Dieu has watched over the health of the people of Marseille. This urban beacon overlooking the Old Port has just replaced its ghost ship appearance with the sumptuous attire of a flagship of the high-end hotel industry flying the InterContinental flag.
The challenge of this new design for the Hôtel-Dieu is coupled with a challenge of urban recomposition that must re-establish the link between the former hospital enclosure and the city, between the Old Port and the Panier district, between the history and the future, heritage and modernity. Without renouncing any of the legitimate expectations of its future guests, the five-star hotel has humbly slipped into the respectfully restored existing volumes that it values and whose history bequeaths to it an interior landscape and architecture conducive to permanent wonder. visitors.
