Avignon Hotels

Avignon’s hotels range from the most basic to the luxurious, with a good choice in between. Book well in advance to stay within the Old City, where most of the main attractions are, and expect relatively high prices too. There’s usually a steep price hike in July when the Avignon Festival is on.

The Avignon hotels below have been handpicked by the guide author and are grouped into three pricing categories:
Luxury (over €200)
Moderate (€100-€200)
Cheap (up to €100)

These Avignon hotel prices are the starting prices for a standard double room.

Luxury

Cloitre St Louis

Cloitre St Louis is based around a converted 16th-century cloister of pale stone. Most of the sophisticated, contemporary rooms are in the modern wing, but try to bag one in the original monks' cells, which have a bit more character. The swimming pool is a blessing in summer.

Hotel d'Europe

An elegant converted palace, the centrally located Hotel d'Europe is the oldest hotel in town and the preferred place to stay for many celebrities. Pleasing touches include a roof terrace, a sense of space and refined décor of cool, pale colours. There's also a Michelin-starred restaurant and a courtyard garden.

La Mirande

Opposite the Palais des Papes, this former cardinal's palace from the 14th-century is all sophistication and attention to detail. The rooms are delightful, and the hotel's restaurant is one of the best in town. The sumptuous décor has been chosen with flair and imagination. Expensive, but this is luxury with charm and personality.

Moderate

Hotel de l'Horloge

Well placed on the main square, this handsome old 4-star hotel is in the midst of all the life of the town. Noise is not usually a problem, but if you're concerned, ask for one of the quieter rooms at the side. Rooms are small but comfortable and attractively decorated.

Hotel de Blauvac

This small, inexpensive hotel is just off the place de l'Horloge in a sensitively converted 17th-century mansion. It feels redolent with history, especially in the rooms with mezzanines and walls of massive exposed stone blocks. A warm welcome and 16 very basic but comfortable rooms make this a fine, well-placed budget choice.
