la Mirande

Considered one of the most beautiful hotels in France, La Mirande is much more than a luxury establishment: it is a historic residence seemingly suspended in time. Housed in a former cardinal's palace at the foot of the ramparts of the Palais des Papes, this five-star hotel transports its guests to the splendor of the 18th century. Each room is a masterpiece of decoration, adorned with antique cotton fabrics, period woodwork, and carefully selected antique furniture, creating an atmosphere of absolute elegance and refined comfort found nowhere else. The experience at La Mirande is also an ode to gastronomy and culture. The Michelin-starred restaurant, nestled under a glass roof or in the flower-filled courtyard, elevates Provençal produce with rare finesse. But perhaps the soul of the hotel lies in its historic kitchen in the basement, where 19th-century wood-fired stoves come alive during renowned cooking classes. Between the secret gardens where a scent of jasmine lingers and the library lounges, La Mirande offers an enchanting interlude, both aristocratic and warm, in the heart of the city of Avignon.
