La Mirande is a beautiful 5* hotel set in an 18^th-century mansion at the foot of the Palais des Papes in the heart of Avignon, although its history stretches further back to when it was the palace of a cardinal in the 14^th century. Today, La Mirande is tastefully designed and furnished to provide an authentic stay showcasing Avignon’s wonderful history.

Location

It would not be possible to be located more in the centre of Avignon than this. The walls of the hotel are directly next to those of the iconic Palais des Papes, so guests can wander outside straight into the heart of this beautiful city. Guests also have easy access to transport options for exploring further beyond Avignon.

Facilities

La Mirande’s Michelin-starred restaurant serves delightful tasting menus in the very room that the cardinals used to entertain the popes for dinner in the 14^th century. In the warmer months, you may choose to dine in the beautiful terrace or garden which offers a wonderful view of the Palais des Papes.

For a unique dining option, the former servants’ quarters and ancient kitchen has been converted into ‘La Table Haute’, which offers a convivial, lively atmosphere where guests are welcomed to sit around a large kitchen table, where a stunning farm-to-table meal is prepared in front of them. The hotel also offers a bar and more casual tavern-style restaurant, with cooking classes.

Accommodation

All of the hotel’s 26 rooms, from deluxe grade up to suites, are individually decorated with historic French cotton prints. Many of the rooms include large sized windows which provide stunning views of the high walls of Palais des Papes. Despite being decorated with a vintage style the hotel still provides luxury comforts for a more homely feel.
