“Very elegant boutique hotel in a classical mansion. A mix of contemporary and traditional decor in two wings, from sleek monochrome to period furniture. A small pool sits pretty in front of the property. A small but perfectly formed spa and hammam. The bar provides light meals. An excellent choice. ”

Hotel Review
The last word in French chic, this immaculate boutique hotel occupies a grand mansion, built in 1824 by the Mayor of Arles in a charming maze of back streets. The 13 luxurious bedrooms are split between two wings: one contemporary, the other more traditional. Choose between a sleek, mainly monochrome room, and one with high ceiling, original mouldings and period furniture. All are equipped with superb bedlinen and large fluffy towels and robes. Outside, the L-shaped courtyard is an oasis of calm and the plunge pool perfect for cooling off.

L'Hôtel Particulier, Arles
This is one of the largest historic private mansions in the centre of Arles, and was once owned by the Baron de Chartrouse. After being revamped by Brigitte Pagés de L’Oliveira, it now forms a very smart townhouse hotel with 13 super stylish all-white rooms, a subterranean spa and a delightful dappled courtyard.
