Getaway at the Hôtel Bleu in Carry-Le-Rouet
Go to Marseille and enjoy the warmth and light of the South of France.
Carry-le-Rouet, a small village on the Côte Bleue, is becoming a must-visit destination in Marseilles, with the unveiling of a brand-new establishment: the Hotel Bleu.
With its panoramic terrace, gourmet restaurant and sea-view swimming pool, this new 4-star hotel already has all the hallmarks of a great hotel.
The charming village of Carry-le-Rouet can be reached in just 25 minutes by TER train from Marseille Saint-Charles station.
You'd be wrong to miss out on this ride along the rails, as the rail line is so impressive in its beauty. Created in 1882, the railroad runs over 18 viaducts, 2 bridges and 23 tunnels overlooking the Mediterranean. There are no roads in the vicinity: the train travels in the middle of nature, threading its way between footpaths and the deep blue sea. This is the idyllic setting for the Hotel Bleu, a brand-new 4-star hotel which, like an ocean liner, overlooks the port of Carry-le-Rouet.
Les 44 chambres de l’établissement, tout comme le décor de l’hôtel, sont signées du cabinet d’architecture Architecture 54. L’or, le bleu et le blanc se confondent dans un mobilier moderne qui n’oublie pas de rendre hommage à quelques talents locaux. Ainsi, il n’est pas rare de trouver un cadre abritant une photo de Fernandel, puisque ce dernier était un habitant de Carry-le-Rouet. La ville rend aussi hommage au célèbre acteur en exposant un buste à son effigie ainsi qu’en nommant une plage en son honneur. Le Fernand, quant à lui, est le nom du bar accoudé à la piscine miroir de l’hôtel depuis lequel on déguste de merveilleux cocktails (et fait rare pour être souligné, des recettes de mocktails d’une folle inventivité.)
