Deservedly a Marseille must-see. We had a highly knowledgeable English-speaking guide booked through the Tourist Board. There aren’t many English-language tours so do plan ahead. I won’t repeat the history story of this experimental building. Nor debate its pros and cons. All this is covered very fully by Perplexity.
What I will say is that my opinion was given nuance by actually seeing Unité d'Habitation in context, in person, and inside.
Admittedly a very niche interest, but it was also great to put on Peter Doig’s shoes and imagine him conceiving his ‘Concrete Cabins’ series of paintings.

It’s not just a historic building, there is amazing view from rooftop (almost 60m high)

If you want to view Apartaments on tour guide I recommend to book week before, we arrived on Thursday and it wasn’t possible until Wednesday…

You can feel „good times” there
They have very good beers in the restaurant 🍺

Must visit if you are a fan of Le Corbusier.

I visited on a Sunday and did not need to book a tour to access the building which was what I had thought from the website. I think they allow access everyday now, but could be worth checking before visiting. It was free.

You may access a few floors, The rooftop and get a coffee or food at the hotel that has a cafe or buy an architecture book at the book shop.

The place is fantastic in real life and has really been taken care of and appreciated by the Commune which I find often rare.

Highly recommend.

Spectacular building, I love that they haven’t tried to monetise off it as a tourist destination too much, as entry to the hotel floor with shops/restaurant etc and up to the rooftop is completely free. You could spend a good hour here moseying around and taking in the stunning details.

If you are into architecture and interiors this is a particularly inspiring building and has been our cultural highlight of our trip to Marseille so far. Not to be missed!

Loved touring this building, so many thoughtful details if you look closely. You can book a tour (in English or French) via the tourist office or explore it yourself (the roof, ground floor, 3rd floor, and 4th floor can be visited) 9 - 6pm.

Nestled at 280 Boulevard Michelet in Marseille, France, the Unité d'Habitation stands as a towering testament to visionary modernist architecture. Designed by the legendary architect Le Corbusier and completed in 1952, this revolutionary residential complex embodies the innovative concept of a "vertical city," seamlessly merging living spaces with communal amenities under a single roof. Far beyond a mere housing project, it represents a bold reimagining of urban life during the post-World War II era, aimed at fostering community and functionality within a compact footprint.

The Historical Evolution of Unité d'Habitation

The journey of this architectural marvel began in 1945, when Le Corbusier was commissioned to design a collective housing building in Marseille. His vision was to address the urgent postwar housing shortage with a design that prioritized community and efficiency. Construction commenced two years later in 1947, marking the start of a new era in residential design. By 1952, the building was completed and inaugurated, immediately gaining attention for its innovative integration of homes, shops, and communal facilities within a single, self-contained structure.

Unité d'Habitation's Recognition and Legacy

The lasting significance of Unité d'Habitation was officially acknowledged in 2016 when it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This designation highlights its global importance as a pioneering work of modernist architecture and urban planning. The building continues to inspire architects and urban designers worldwide, symbolizing the enduring legacy of Le Corbusier's innovative approach to communal living and architectural form.

Visitors to Unité d'Habitation can explore its thoughtfully designed apartments, vibrant colored balconies, and communal spaces that foster a sense of neighborhood within a vertical structure. The rooftop offers breathtaking views of Marseille from nearly 60 meters above ground, providing a unique perspective on the city's urban fabric and Mediterranean coastline. The building also houses a restaurant, shops, and a café, offering a full experience of Le Corbusier's vision where residents could live, shop, and socialize without leaving the complex.
