Hôtel de la Mirande Review

A designer's dream of a hotel, this petit palais permits you to step into 18th-century Avignon, thanks to painted coffered ceilings, sumptuous antiques, and other superb grand siècle touches (those rough sisal mats on the floors were the height of chic back in the Baroque era). The central lounge is a skylighted and jazz-warmed haven. Upstairs, guest rooms are both gorgeous and comfy, with extraordinary baths and even more extraordinary handmade wall coverings. The costume-drama dining room is the perfect setting for the restaurant's sophisticated cuisine, one of the best in Avignon under chef Julien Allano. Look for friendly Tuesday- and Wednesday-night cooking classes (€85) from guest chefs in the massive downstairs "country" kitchen.

    This is a truly lovely hotel. Right slap bang in the centre. The staff were wonderful. The decoration beautiful, with real style and elegance. Not sure the food in the restaurant was quite up to the surroundings, but lovely to sit in the garden here or in the old restaurant. The rooms have everything you could wish for and just perfect. One of the best hotels I have stayed in in france.
