Hôtel de la Cité

The walled city of Carcassonne stands high on a hill above the River Aude, overlooking the valley of Lauragais and the lush Minervois vineyards. It is Europe's largest fortified citadel with each stone a mute witness to its romantic past. Proud inside la Cíte crowning its highest point is Hotél de la Cíte. Set in its own glorious gardens with its solid stonewalls, wood paneling and stained glass windows, the Hotel offers luxurious hospitality.

One of the best-known local specialties is the Blanqueete de Limoux, the oldest sparkling wine in the world. It is said that it is the same recipe that inspired the creators of the much-celebrated champagne. Spend the afternoon enjoying some of the local cuisine accompanied by regional wines, each with its distinctive qualities, will delight your palate whether you are a connoisseur or not. Planning an event or enjoying a relaxing break Hotél de la Cíte offers you first class service in unforgettable surroundings

As befits a hotel of such unique character, each of its 42 guestrooms and 19 suites and junior suites are individually furnished and decorated with more than a dash of aristocratic style. Traditional style is of course matched by modern comfort, and all rooms feature the most up-to-date facilities, including air conditioning, sound-proofing, direct-dial telephone and television.

The rooms in the Hótel de la Cité are not all identical, they vary in shape, layout and interiors. Several of the rooms and suites have balconies and terraces allowing spectacular views of Carcassonne and the ramparts of the medieval Citadel, as well as the Castle. Other rooms offer views of the narrow cobble-stoned streets of the Citadel.

Close to picturesque villages, Cathar Castles and historic sites, the Hôtel de la Cité provides easy and close access to a wide range of activities. 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 on the XVII century Canal du Midi.

Hôtel de la Cité is part of Orient-Express Hotels, Trains & Cruises and Virtuoso
