We had an excellent stay here, enjoying the breathtaking views and all the comforts.
It really is an iconic hotel with one of the most beautiful views on the Côte d’Azur.
For us, it’s one of the best hotels in Cassis.
Decoration and atmosphere
This hotel is the perfect place to spend a memorable vacation. It features art deco decor, with bay windows and terraces to enjoy the view from every angle.
The welcome is warm and the team very efficient. All our interactions with the hotel staff were excellent. It’s an ideal place to get away from it all and relax.
The room
Our room was spacious, bright and modern, leaving all the focus on the view and the sea. We particularly liked the beautiful headboard with its gold and geometric shapes, as well as the bright sconces and the warm, comfortable armchair.
We found amenities such as a kettle, coffee machine, hairdryer, bottle of water, bottle of rosé as a gift and a tablet to find out more about the hotel’s services.
Our room offered a spectacular view over the bay of Cassis, with umbrella pines below, the sea and the immense Soubeyrane cliffs opposite. Both balconies were equipped with 2 armchairs and a table. The sunset was particularly spectacular, with the red of the cliffs standing out.

The bathroom in our room was very spacious, with a shower and bathtub.
We found hygiene products and cosmetics by Acqua di Parma, as well as a very comfortable and soft bathrobe and slippers. The toilets were separate.
The breakfast
At the Hôtel Les Roches Blanches in Cassis, we were lucky enough to enjoy a buffet-style breakfast. We enjoyed home-made products such as pastries, cakes, mini-sandwiches and even some ready-made meals. We appreciated the choice of products on offer, both sweet and savoury: pastries, dairy products, cereals, cut and whole fresh fruit, cakes…
… and also savoury dishes: cheeses, cold meats, salmon, mini-sandwiches and a few ready-made meals…
All this could be enjoyed on the magnificent terrace overlooking the sea and the cliffs.
