LA MIRANDE ^{* * * * *}

Everything about La Mirande is wonderful. The hotel is located literally next door to the Palais des Papes. The rooms are charming and very comfortable and well appointed. The dining areas are beautiful and the service is top class. The staff go above and beyond to make sure you have a comfortable and smooth stay, organizing dinner reservations, a great personal tour of the old city as well as travel to and from the TGV station. I cannot recommend La Mirande highly enough.

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel La Mirande. We received amazing, over the top service. When we could not figure out how to drive the to the hotel, we parked outside the city and ubered in. The next day the valet went and retrieved our car for us and parked it at the hotel. We arrived later in the night a little frustrated and hungry and all the restaurants were closed. The front desk reception arranged for a cheese plate to be brought up to the room. Anything we needed they took care of even dinner reservations at Le Restaurant which was absolutely outstanding!! I highly recommend! Also, the hotel couldn’t be in a better location. You can walk to everything.

All exceptional especially the valet -- nothing was too much trouble for him.

Delightful independent hotel..a one-off. Great concierge and everyone very helpful. Characterful rooms with very comfortable beds. Only stayed one night but would have liked longer…. but they were full! Not surprising. Will go again.

We recently stayed at Hôtel La Mirande and were truly impressed by its elegance, charm, and unbeatable location. Nestled right next to the Palais des Papes, the hotel feels like stepping into another century—with period décor, antique touches, and an ambiance that transports you back in time in the best way possible.||||???? What We Loved Most||The location and the historic atmosphere were by far the highlights of our stay. Being able to walk out the door and be within steps of Avignon’s most iconic landmarks was incredible. The hotel itself is stunning, with rich character throughout—from the architecture to the garden courtyard and common rooms filled with antiques.||||????️ Room & Service||Our room was spacious, beautifully furnished, and very comfortable. The bed and pillows were soft, which made for a great night’s sleep after a long day of sightseeing. The overall quality of the room lived up to expectations.||||The staff was warm and welcoming, and everyone we interacted with was friendly and helpful. That said, we did run into one hiccup during our stay. We requested a bucket of ice to chill a bottle of champagne and called the front desk twice—but after waiting about an hour, it never arrived. Eventually, we took the bottle to the bar ourselves, and they were kind enough to help us out. It wasn’t a huge issue, but for a hotel of this caliber, we were surprised by the lack of follow-through on that request.||||???? A Small Suggestion||If we could change one thing, it would be the towels. While they looked elegant and matched the refined aesthetic of the hotel, they weren’t very soft. Swapping them out for high-end, plush towels would really elevate the comfort level and align better with the rest of the luxury experience.||||???? A Note on the Neighborhood||The hotel itself felt very secure, and we never felt unsafe. However, we did notice a fairly visible homeless presence in the surrounding area, particularly near the major landmarks. It didn’t negatively impact our trip, but it did slightly change the tone of some of our walks—especially in the evening. Something for future guests to be mindful of.||||Overall:||Despite a few small areas for improvement, we had a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend Hôtel La Mirande to anyone visiting Avignon. It’s a unique, atmospheric place that perfectly blends history, location, and comfort. We hope to return one day—and maybe book one of the rooms with those dramatic high ceilings!
