Ruby Hotels has launched its first French establishment, Ruby Lilou Hotel & Bar, in Marseille, marking a significant milestone for the brand. Situated between the historic Vieux Port and the vibrant La Joliette district, the hotel offers 237 rooms and a 300m² rooftop terrace with views of the city and the Mediterranean Sea. This opening also introduces Ruby Yani, the brand’s first workspace in France, featuring over 126 flexible workstations.
The expansion into France follows Ruby's acquisition by IHG Hotels & Resorts and reflects the brand's commitment to creating hotels that resonate with their surroundings. Michael Struck, CEO of Ruby Group, stated, “Opening Ruby Lilou marks an important milestone for us as we debut the Ruby brand in France. Marseille is a city with a strong sense of identity, creativity, and authenticity, making it a natural fit for Ruby.”
Ruby Lilou's design draws inspiration from Marseille's unique blend of Mediterranean charm and rebellious spirit, incorporating soft tones and bold patterns. The hotel features a 24/7 bar and café, offering local wines and cocktails, and music is a key element, with curated sound programmes and live acts.
Ruby Yani Workspace provides a creative environment for freelancers and businesses, with membership options starting from $64 (EUR 60) per month. Together, Ruby Lilou and Ruby Yani create a dynamic destination that embodies Ruby's vision of modern urban hospitality.
