Euromed Center: Foncière des Régions and Crédit Agricole Assurances sign an agreement with Louvre Hotels Group

The hotel group will develop a four-star Golden Tulip Hotel in central Marseille and the new Euromed Center business district

Foncière des Régions and Crédit Agricole Assurances have signed a final agreement with Louvre Hotels Group, which will operate a four-star hotel under the Golden Tulip banner. The hotel will occupy a significant place in the Euromed Center project, supported by co-investors Foncière des Régions and Crédit Agricole Assurances and the public planning and development authority Euroméditerranée.

The nine-floor, 210-room hotel of 10,000 sq. m will be an essential component of the future business district. A four-star Golden Tulip Hotel, it will feature a modular conference space of 600 sq. m, a 200-seat restaurant, two bars, an open terrace, an indoor pool and a fitness centre.
This hotel, conceived by Massimiliano Fuksas, International d’Architecture and Studio Desseins (for interior design), will cater to business customers and tourists visiting the Euromed Center and the Marseille metropolitan area.

The project is a shared development involving the co-investors, the urban development agency and the hotel group that confirms the attraction of Euroméditerranée and Euromed Center as a benchmark business hub for Marseille.
The hotel is due for completion in the first quarter of 2016 and will further enhance the business district’s hotel offering.
