In a city of such infinite charm as the medieval walled citadel of Carcassonne, a hotel that invites you to be a part of the romance is a compelling reason for visiting. Nestling within the ramparts, the Hôtel de la Cité is flanked by two historic landmarks, enveloped in the fairytale architecture of the surrounding turrets and fortifications.
Nearly a century old, the hotel has been restored to its former neo-gothic glory, and its stone walls decorated with impressive paintings and frescoes, the wood panelling, stained glass and heraldic emblems are testament to the city’s rich history. The evergreen beauty of the garden, with its glossy rambling ivy and neatly trimmed box hedges, abuts the ramparts and affords wonderful views over the lush vineyards of the Aude Valley, as well as providing the perfect setting for the swimming pool.
Magnificent fireplaces and beamed ceilings lend an atmosphere of Gothic splendour to La Barbacane restaurant, the cornerstone of the hotel’s gastronomic reputation. Superb locally crafted furnishings and the finest fabrics exude luxury, the panelled richness of the Library bar and the noble elegance of the individually styled guest rooms and suites contributing to the hotel’s unique ambience, with its keynote of warmth. |
