La Mirande Hotel | Best places to stay in Provence |

"Located right next to the Palais des Papes, this magnificent hotel manages to balance aristocratic 18th-century elegance, charm and authenticity with 5-star, 21st-century facilities. Each detail has been carefully and expensively designed, down to the wood-block wallpaper, paintings and sculptures, Carrara marble bathrooms and silk-lined curtains. The central location, a stone’s throw from the Palace of the Popes, and a lovely garden filled with flowers all add to the charm. The Michelin-starred restaurant and famous cooking school make it a top choice for gastrophiles. It’s a gorgeous central refuge – perfectly located for sightseeing and the festival – for those who can afford it. " - Dana Facaros
