This French chateaux turned luxury hotel has blended modern style and historic charm inside, and a lovely garden and heated pool outside. A renowned restaurant offers delicious, gourmet meals, though none are included for guests. Spa treatments are available, as is free access to quality facilities like a sauna, indoor pool, gym, and hot tub. Sophisticated decor in the 43 rooms and suites ranges from historic to modern, and all have iPod docks, coffeemakers, bathrooms, and minibars. Some also include whirlpools, high-tech toilets, and furnished terraces. Quality service and a peaceful atmosphere make this a popular choice with adults, but some prefer a location more convenient to sites and activities. Those looking for a more central spot should check out the posh Hotel d’Europe in the heart of Avignon’s historic center.
