InterContinental Marseille – Hotel Dieu

Impressive building with a mighty entrance. Very nicely laid out. First impression was that it is probably an important state building, until we realized that it is a hotel. Certainly nothing for the small purse.

Worth seeing building with a beautiful garden and large square below
