The Marseilles Hotel in Miami Beach, Fla., sits on Collins Avenue right on the beach. The hotel is three blocks from the Miami Beach Convention Center and Art Déco Historic District.
Miami International Airport is nine miles from the hotel.
Designed by the famous European architect Robert Swartburg in 1948, the Art Déco inspired Marseilles Hotel displays vertical emphasis and a combination of flat and curved walls, use of glass blocks, neon, cove and porthole ceiling lighting and cast iron railings. The sun and warm seaside waters beckon from just outside the hotel's back door, where a narrow sundeck is fringed by gardens surrounding a 90 by 25 foot seasonal pool. Beyond the pool, the hotel features a deep sundeck and a palm tree grove with hammocks.
Inside the hotel, guests can enjoy the casual, street front veranda of L'Omelette Café or the big screen television, overstuffed couches, pool table, Art Déco paintings and stained glass panels of the Metropolis Lounge. The Marseilles Hotel includes a small fitness center and guests receive discounted access to the fitness center in the nearby Delano Hotel. Additional amenities include laundry facilities onsite and complimentary wireless Internet access in the lobby.
The nine story Marseilles Hotel offers 117 guestrooms featuring understated gold tones, high ceilings, yellow accent walls and mahogany furniture. Amenities include cable television, coffeemakers, in room safes and dial up Internet access.
Guests can sample gelato and Cuban coffee at Dulcianna, a European Gelateria at Lincoln Road, the pedestrian mall just one block from the hotel.
