1. Best Western Vieux-Port Hotel

Hôtel Best Western Vieux-Port - Room

Why stay there?

We particularly enjoyed our stay at the Best Western hotel in La Ciotat.
Its central location, on the quays of the Vieux Port, lets you enjoy the charm and liveliness of the city.
From our room, we had a magnificent view of the port. As the sun rose, we set up on the terrace to make the most of it!
The highlight of the show is the roof terrace. Upstairs, you’ll find an infinity pool (pictured at the start of this article), Jacuzzi, solarium and gym. We took the opportunity to relax!

Hôtel Best Western Vieux-Port - jacuzzi

Practical information

  • Neighborhood: Vieux port
  • Price range: 4 stars
  • Restaurant: no, but surrounded by many restaurants
  • Family rooms: yes
  • Facilities: swimming pools, jacuzzi, gym
  • Parking: yes, private area in underground parking lot (chargeable)
  • read our detailed review

2. Rose Tea Hotel

Rose Thé Hotel

Why stay there?

If you like hotels with a retro feel, look no further!
The first thing to smile about is the all-pink welcome, but don’t worry, the colors change inside.
Its two main advantages are its vintage chic decor, without overdoing it, and its location right next to the beaches.
And we particularly like one of the rooms with a large terrace and private Jacuzzi!

Hotel Rose Thé - entrance

Practical information

  • Neighborhood: beaches
  • Price range: 3 stars
  • Restaurant: yes
  • Family rooms: yes
  • Facilities: a stone’s throw from the beach
  • Parking: private with charge

See photos, prices and availability – and book!


3. Aparthotel À Deux Pas de l’Eau

Aparthotel À Deux Pas de l'Eau

Why stay there?

If you don’t want to eat out at every meal, an apartment is a good option. This aparthotel offers spacious accommodation with bright, modern decor.
What’s more, all you have to do is take about 20 steps and you’ll find yourself with your feet in the sand… what a pleasure!
Please note, however, that the kitchen facilities are rather limited (no traditional oven).

Aparthotel À Deux Pas de l'Eau - sea view

Practical information

  • Neighborhood: beaches
  • Price range: 3 stars
  • Restaurant: no, but fully equipped kitchen
  • Family rooms: yes
  • Equipment: /

4. Hôtel Corniche du Liouquet

Hotel Corniche du Liouquet

Why stay there?

For the view… Some rooms have a sea view, others a country view. But if you do come, it’s for the sea view, with Ile Verte and Cap de l’Aigle emerging from this vast expanse of intense blue.
For peace and quiet… it’s a small 15-room hotel far from the hustle and bustle of the city, ideal for recharging your batteries. You can even hear the lapping of the water from your bedroom.
For breakfast with home-made products
Just be aware that Liouquet beach is tiny and rocky.

Hôtel Corniche du Liouquet - view

Practical information

  • District: East of town (corniche du Liouquet)
  • Price range: 3 stars
  • Restaurant: no, but two fine restaurants 5 minutes’ walk away
  • Family rooms: yes (one child)
  • Equipment: /
  • Parking: private and free

See photos, prices and availability – and book!


5. Hotel Spa Plage Saint-Jean

Hotel Spa Plage Saint-Jean

Why stay there?

This small 35-room hotel on the seafront offers a peaceful setting with good facilities for enjoying La Ciotat: an indoor swimming pool, sauna and Jacuzzi.
What we particularly like is that the hotel is located on the rocky beaches of Saint-Jean, with direct access to the area. We really liked this atypical beach, even if it meant the hotel was a little further from the town center.

Hôtel Spa Plage Saint-Jean - swimming pool

Practical information

  • Neighborhood: beaches
  • Price range: 3 stars
  • Restaurant: yes
  • Family rooms: yes
  • Facilities: indoor heated swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, lounge bar, billiards table
  • Parking: private and free

6. Miramar L’Orchidée Hotel

Miramar L'Orchidée Hotel

Why stay there?

With its colorful facade that makes you feel the sun, you won’t want to miss the Hotel Miramar. It’s located on the seafront, near the beautiful sandy beaches (and therefore a 20-minute walk from the old port).
Some of the rooms have a sea view with a small balcony, while others overlook the courtyard. But they’re all 50m from the sand!
A hearty breakfast.

Hotel Miramar L'Orchidée restaurant

Practical information

  • Neighborhood: beaches
  • Price range: 2 stars
  • Restaurant: yes, Restaurant L’Orchidée
  • Family rooms: yes
  • Facilities: just across the road from the beach

7. Hotel Calanques de Figuerolles

Hotel Calanques de Figuerolles

Why stay there?

If you’re looking for a more natural option, right next to one of La Ciotat’s most beautiful spots, check out this hotel nestled in the Figuerolles cove, 50m from the sea.
This small boutique hotel with 8 bungalows, several terraces and a restaurant offers a very different experience, but not as quiet as you’d expect from a bar and restaurant.

Restaurant Calanques de Figuerolles

Practical information

  • Neighborhood: calanques
  • Range: 3-star equivalent
  • Restaurant: yes
  • Family rooms: yes
  • No wifi and the restaurant can be noisy.
  • Facilities: close to the sea, table tennis, deckchairs
  • Parking: no parking at the hotel, you have to park at the calanque parking lot or in the surrounding streets, a 5-minute walk away.
