This former Jesuit noviciate is a haven of peace at just a few minutes' walking distance from the Pope’s Palace and located in the old city of Avignon.
The hotel has 80 rooms located in a 16th century part, which has kept piously the spirit of that period and into a contemporary wing inspired by the well known French architect Jean Nouvel.
Guestrooms are decorated in neutral tones with contemporary furnishings and provide cable television with pay movies.
Guests can wine and dine in the restaurant, and lounge on the sun terrace which borders the outdoor swimming pool.
