Perched between Cap Canaille, turquoise calanques, and a colorful harbor, Cassis boasts a string of hotels where charm and simplicity conceal a true sense of understated luxury. Here, the focus isn’t on architectural boldness, but on the ocean view, the tranquility of a garden, the warmth of a beachside restaurant, or the comfort of a renovated village house. Our roundup of the most beautiful ones Hotels in Cassis.
Les Roches Blanches
Overlooking the cliffs of Cassis, facing Cap Canaille and the turquoise sea, the Hôtel Les Roches Blanches stands like a 5-star hotel legendary, blending the Riviera, Art Deco, and understated elegance. Here, the white architecture, the ochre-tiled roofs, the spacious terraces, and the infinity pool that seems to flow right into the Mediterranean create a postcard-perfect setting, where you find yourself double-checking to make sure the blue of the sky, the sea, and the pool aren’t all just the same shade of paint.
The hotel features 45 rooms and suites, including Classic Rooms, Executive Rooms, and Character Suites, each offering a view of the shaded courtyard, the sea, or Cassis Bay. Art Deco elegance, soft hues, refined woodwork, and period details blend with modern comforts to create an atmosphere that is both vintage and contemporary, ideal for a romantic weekend, a family vacation, or a relaxing getaway with friends. The luxurious suites, with their private terraces, reinforce the feeling of staying in a family heirloom nestled against the cliff.
The hotel’s three restaurants, led by Executive Chef Nicolas Sintes, celebrate gourmet Mediterranean cuisine—«drenched in sunshine»—centered on seafood and seasonal ingredients, with a touch of finesse and modernity. The highlight is undoubtedly La Belle Étoile, a gourmet restaurant overlooking the sea, where guests dine in a refined atmosphere blending Art Deco aesthetics with soft lighting. The hotel’s spa, featuring Sisley products and nestled above the maritime pines, extends the experience with luxury treatments, a hammam, a panoramic relaxation area, and access to the solarium—all for absolute relaxation in the heart of this calanques landscape.

Liautaud Hotel
Completely renovated in 2023, the Liautaud Hotel stands as a 4-star hotel charming, imbued with the elegance of the 1950s and reimagined for today. The establishment, a fixture in local lore since the 18th century, evokes Marcel Pagnol, Brigitte Bardot, and a certain Mediterranean art of living, which is reflected in the hotel’s minimalist, understated, and light-filled decor, located at the foot of the harbor and just a few steps from the beach.
The hotel features 23 rooms and 7 suites, all designed as oases of refined simplicity. Each room, with its minimalist design, combines light tones, natural wood, thoughtful lighting, and—in some cases—a stone sink to create an atmosphere that is both minimalist and warm. Balconies offering views of the sea, the harbor, or the Château de Cassis complete the picture, transforming every stay into an intimate postcard scene set against the backdrop of the sea, the calanques, and village life.
On the first floor, the panoramic lounge overlooks the harbor’s sails and offers a gourmet breakfast buffet, while at the base of the hotel, Café Liautaud, led by Chef Katy Orlando, serves a take on Parisian bistro cuisine with a Mediterranean twist, featuring local and seasonal ingredients—from tapas-style appetizers to more substantial dishes.
The stunning rooftop, reserved for guests in the afternoon, offers a panoramic view of the bay and lets you linger in the sun a little longer. The hotel doesn’t have a large spa, but its proximity to the sea, the harbor, and the calanques—plus the quality of its common areas—already provide a natural retreat for well-being.

The hotel has 13 rooms, all of which are very comfortable, air-conditioned, and designed for rest, featuring high-quality bedding, guaranteed privacy, and—in some cases—a view of the city or the cobblestone alley. The style is simple, warm, and uncluttered: light-colored walls, understated wood paneling, stone accents, and natural light, creating the atmosphere of a family home reimagined as a neighborhood hotel. The entire property exudes tranquility, yet remains just a few steps from shops, outdoor cafés, and the beach, making it an ideal base for exploring Cassis Bay.
On site, the Clos des Arômes restaurant is a real highlight of the property, offering distinctive cuisine rooted in the Mediterranean South, consisting mainly of homemade dishes—often cooked over charcoal—that showcase fresh fish, seasonal vegetables, and local flavors. The service is warm and friendly, just like in a village trattoria where people gather every evening.
The hotel does not have a spa, but its garden and its proximity to the sea, hiking trails, and Calanc’O Kayak Paddle—located just a few minutes’ walk away—offer a lovely opportunity to unwind between walks and moments of rest.
