Located in the La Joliette neighborhood,the Hôtel La Joliette by Esteem meets both of these expectations. The M2 line connects the neighborhood directly to the area around the Vélodrome, while Les Docks, Les Terrasses du Port, La Major, and the MuCEM are all located near the hotel.
The Joliette station is located a few minutes' walk from the hotel. From there, the M2 line of the Marseille metro provides direct service to Rond-Point du Prado and Sainte-Marguerite Dromel, the two stations used to reach the stadium.
Rond-Point du Prado is generally the most convenient station for the Jean Bouin entrances and the north section. Sainte-Marguerite Dromel is better suited for the Ganay side and the south curve. The best choice therefore depends on the gate indicated on your ticket and the instructions provided before the game.
The trip between Joliette and Rond-Point du Prado takes about ten minutes without any transfers. Including the walk, it takes approximately 20 minutes to get from the hotel to the Orange Vélodrome when traffic is light.
On the night of the OM–PSG game, however, it’s best to leave well before kickoff. The trains are more crowded, the area around the stadium fills up quickly, and security checks can slow down entry to the stands. Arriving early also gives you a chance to enjoy the atmosphere around Boulevard Michelet before heading to your seat.
For travelers arriving by car, the hotel offers a partner parking lot nearby with discounted rates. The easiest option is to park your car near La Joliette and take the metro there and back.
Before heading to the stadium, the area around the hotel offers plenty to do in the afternoon without having to travel far. Les Terrasses du Port is easily accessible for shopping, while Les Docks, the Major Cathedral, and the MuCEM offer a pleasant stroll toward the Old Port. More ideas are available on the page dedicated to sightseeing and activities in Marseille.
There are many restaurants in the neighborhood. The hotel also has a bar and room service for those who prefer to dine on site before the game.
After the game, the stations around the Vélodrome get very crowded. Waiting a few minutes before boarding the metro often makes for a more comfortable ride. The M2 line then takes fans directly back to Joliette.
The hotel's front desk is open 24 hours a day, making late check-ins easy. The hotel has 64 air-conditioned rooms, ranging from Comfort Rooms to Deluxe Rooms. Some rooms offer twin beds upon request; others feature a terrace or a duplex layout.
The next day, guests can enjoy the heated indoor pool, the steam room, or the fitness center. They can also extend their stay by exploring the MuCEM, the Panier, and the Old Port, all of which are easily accessible from La Joliette.
This location allows you to reach the Vélodrome without having to transfer subways, while staying close to the historic center and the waterfront. It’s a convenient way to come see the OM–PSG game without having to plan your entire weekend around travel.
