Maisons du Monde Hôtel & Suites opens a stylish and welcoming new location in Marseille
Maisons du Monde Hôtel & Suites opens its doors in Marseille
Following the opening of its first hotel in the heart of Nantes in May 2019, a new Maisons du Monde Hôtel & Suites opened its doors on the Old Port of Marseille on 19 January 2021. Behind this project lies an ambitious duo—independent hotel group Vicartem and the Maisons du Monde decoration and furnishing brand—who worked together to create a stylish and welcoming new location.
Building on the success of the hotel and suites in Nantes, Vicartem decided to extend the experience in Marseille, combining its hotel expertise with the art de vivre offered by Maisons du Monde. The hotel, boasting 62 rooms, has therefore been fully furnished with pieces and decorative items from the brand, creating a warm and unique atmosphere.
The "Maisons du Monde Hôtel & Suites" concept is now well and truly established thanks to this second location. From Nantes to Marseille, a distinctive feel is emerging, but each hotel still has its own, unique atmosphere.
Located in the heart of the city and designed to feel like home, anyone with a love of style and a focus on well-being will feel welcome in this place in these suites, whether away on business or leisure trips, co working or meeting up after work.
A friendly atmosphere, attentive service and elegance can be found on every floor and at all times of the day. Here, it feels just like home... but even better.
A real showcase of the expertise of Vicartem and Maisons du Monde Business (the department that works with hotel, restaurant, office and retail professionals), the hotel in Marseille opens up many decoration possibilities.
Five styles of rooms with names inspired by the Provence or the Mediterranean region
Five styles of rooms are available, with names inspired by the Mediterranean or the Provence region. Travellers wanting a soft, natural feel might choose the Saint Rémy room, while those who appreciate classic charm with contemporary accents could go for the Loumarin room. Guests looking for a peaceful atmosphere will be swept off their feet by the Gordes room. For those bringing the whole tribe, these styles are also available as family rooms.
Welcoming shared spaces
Travellers will also appreciate the hotel’s shared spaces. A lounge, with its bar, bookcase and large tables, offers guests the chance to relax, have meetings or socialise. The quiet reception area features sofas where guests can relax and wait for appointments, fireplaces for a cosy feel and bookcases to add even more character.
To follow in the footsteps of the hotel in Nantes and feel "just like home", a shared kitchen will allow guests to prepare breakfast in a modern, fully equipped space, should they wish to do so.
Services designed for a pleasant stay
When it comes to services, everything has been designed for a thoroughly pleasant stay. As soon as guests arrive, they benefit from a personalised, digitalised welcome. With a simple tap on a tablet from a member of staff, travellers can access their cosy nest.
The rooms are filled with thoughtful touches: an espresso machine for savouring the hotel roaster’s delicious coffee and room service offering bistro-style mason jars featuring organic and local products. Small dogs and cats are also welcome.
Sustainable development is a priority throughout, with furniture from environmentally friendly sources, eco-friendly bathroom products and local food products delivered in short-distance, green delivery chains.
"It is such a pleasure to open this new hotel in the Phocean City of Marseille, an historical city with a bright future. This second location gives the "Maisons du Monde Hôtel & Suites" concept, developed in collaboration with our partner Vicartem, the prestige it deserves. With this magnificent project, Maisons du Monde has once again been able to show its expertise in creating inspiring and welcoming living spaces" said Julie Walbaum, Chief Executive Officer of Maisons du Monde
"We are delighted to open the doors of this new hotel. Our teams have poured their energy, hearts and souls into this project, and have done so during an especially challenging time. It is the result of a fruitful collaboration with Maisons du Monde and its Business team. Our partnership allows us to design high-quality hotels with a real personality, offering our customers a unique experience" said Céline and Sébastien Meslin, founders and owners of Vicartem

Maisons du Monde Hôtel & Suites continues its development
Maisons du Monde Hôtel & Suites continues its development with the opening of 11 stylish, elegant suites in Nantes and a future address in Marseille
Building on its success, “Maisons du Monde Hôtel & Suites” has announced the opening of its suites in Nantes. This unique, authentic designer hotel concept now has 11 suite styles available to clients
With a surface area ranging from 30 to 65sq.m, all the hotel suites are fully decorated in Maisons du Monde style for a true travel feel.
Coupling pleasing interiors with pleasant service, clients benefit from a host of services so they feel it’s just like home – but even better.
Each suite boasts a fully-fitted kitchen with microwave, induction hobs, coffee machine, kettle, refrigerator and of course Wi-Fi.
And there is a focus on sustainable development throughout: eco-labelled amenities in bathrooms; local food products delivered in short and clean supply circuits (supplied by electrical tricycle in Nantes); recycling of food waste, collected by tricycle (in partnership with the Tricyclerie); some wood furniture meeting a sustainable criterion.
Located 400m from the hotel, Place Royale and Rue Crébillon, the suites are in a prime central location in Nantes. They offer all the advantages of a rental apartment – having a place you can call home, where you can feel free – while providing the reassurance of hotel and concierge services 24/7, available via the hotel. Reaching the rooms is child’s play thanks to the secure lock you can download onto your smartphone.
We are very proud of the success of our first “Maisons du Monde Hôtel & Suites” in Nantes. French and foreign clients alike appreciate this unique concept: a warm and multi-styles’ place, in the city-center,
with affordable prices. The Vicartem staff are committed to proposing a seamless and welcoming experience, in line with Maisons du Monde’s values. These suites and apartments extend this experience, thanks to a concept fully in vogue. Rolling with this success, we are delighted to announce the forthcoming opening of another “Maisons du Monde Hôtel & Suites” hotel, in Marseille, supremely located on the Vieux-Port.
As the outcome of an encounter of our teams, persuaded of the pertinence of combining Vicartem’s hospitality savoir-faire with Maisons du Monde’s flair for French art de vivre, this hotel concept has great appeal for our clientele. Local, national and international guests much appreciate the refined yet cosy ambiance, services and prime location. We aimed to step up with the opening of 11 suites-apartments in Nantes, expanding our capacity and range of stays. We are delighted to continue our partnership with Maisons du Monde with the forthcoming opening of this superb address in Marseille, where interior decoration and warmth go hand in hand.
A new stylish address in Marseille
Applying the same hotel concept, this new, stylish, trending address in the second largest city in France, on the Vieux-Port, just next to Norman Foster’s Shadehouse, will initially feature some 40 rooms with inspiring interiors.

Maisons du Monde supports the association "Toutes à l'école"
Of the 774 million illiterate adults in the world, 2/3 are women. In 2018, Maisons du Monde is supporting the "Toutes à l’école” association through its new Junior catalogue. The association was created in 2005 by Tina Kieffer, journalist and former editor-in-chief of Marie Claire magazine.
The mission of "Toutes à l’Ecole” is to offer high standard of education to the most underprivileged young girls in Cambodia so that they can eventually learn a profession and live with freedom and dignity. The Happy Chandara school is just four hours drive from our main manufacturing facility, near the border between Vietnam and Cambodia.
For 2015/2016, the school had 1160 pupils, and 100 new little girls enrol every year. A vocational training centre was also opened for the school year that started in 2013. Young girls are supported throughout their university or vocational training up to their first job. Lastly, a dormitory with a capacity for 130 pupils houses the poorest girls.
An important place is also given to personal development through sport, drawing, dance and the teaching of values. The girls can also discover the pleasures of reading, imagining, dreaming and playing at the school’s library and games facility.
At Happy Chandara, medical care is also provided for the pupils, most of whom have never been to the dentist and have rarely been vaccinated, and some suffer from malnutrition.
The association has many famous supporters, that include Claire Chazal, Anne-Claire Coudray, Sandrine Quétier and Chantal Thomass.
“Toutes à L’Ecole” has received “Don en Confiance” approval from the “Comité de la Charte”, a nonprofit organization created in 1989 by major social and humanitarian associations and foundations with a view to preserving and developing a relationship of trust with donors.
This approval constitutes a pledge of financial rigour, impartial management and transparency, with regular audits of the association’s accounts, thereby guaranteeing that donations are used appropriately.
A partnership in the form of sharing products
Since several years, Maisons du Monde is making a difference to children's world by offering products that are long-lasting and by supporting child protection associations.
For this new edition, Maisons du Monde has developed a partnership with the association "Toutes à l’école" (education for girls) and supports this programme through sharing products. For the purchase of a desk from a specific range of eleven, €3 or €5 are donated for the education of young girls in Cambodia.

Maisons du Monde x Chantal Thomass capsule collection
Maisons du Monde teamed up with Parisian designer Chantal Thomass to create an exclusive collection of furniture and decor, with a distinct Parisian style. From 10 September to 31 December 2018, embrace monochrome style, a velvet touch and a hint of pink!
The story of a wonderful collaboration
The capsule collection Chantal Thomass x Maisons du Monde was born from a true encounter between the impertinent and glamorous parisian fashion designer and the stylists of a brand embodying inspirational and creative designs.
Their shared goal: open the field of possibilities, play around with Maisons du Monde styles and invent a new collection that fully expresses the Fall-Winter 2018 trends.
The capsule collection Chantal Thomass x Maisons du Monde features fifty products, from furniture to decor, in true Parisian style.
Black and white, silk, satin and delicate details create an elegant, sophisticated look.
Curved furniture legs and two-tone designs create a striking look, lit up by decorative lighting.
Maisons du Monde is a fantastic playground for a designer like me. With the variety of styles and products, the pizzazz and inventiveness of the brand, I had so much fun creating this collection. And I am very proud and honoured, since this is Maisons du Monde's first capsule collection. So happy to be part of this debut!
