Hôtel De La Cité, Carcassonne

Located between two historic landmarks, the Roman Château Comtal and Saint Nazaire Gothic Basilica, the hotel is set in its own glorious gardens. Each of the 42 guestrooms and 19 suites are furnished and decorated in an aristocratic style.

With its solid stone walls, wood panelling and stained-glass windows, the hotel offers luxurious hospitality. Several of the rooms and suites have balconies and terraces, offering spectacular views of Carcassonne, the ramparts of the mediaeval Citadel, and the castle. Other rooms offer views of the narrow cobble-stone streets of the Citadel.

Enjoy swimming in the only heated pool in the citadel, horse riding, or golf at the nearby Carcassonne course. The reception desk can arrange day excursions, sightseeing and barge-cruises.
