Jardins Secrets, a Design Boutique Hotel Nîmes, France

"This 18-century coaching inn, now a boutique hotel, is located in Nîmes, hidden in a secret flowered garden. It offers an outdoor pool surrounded by a Mediterranean-style garden with olive, orange and palm trees as well as a marble fountain. Each air-conditioned room at the Jardins Secrets features a bathtub surrounded by a silk curtain, and the authentic period décor bedrooms have a beautiful view of either the garden, swimming pool, or the cloister. A traditional cloister leads into the luxurious lounges, where guests are invited to have a drink in the Napoleon III bar. In winter, you can relax by the fireplace. At Source des Secrets Spa guests can indulge in beauty treatments. There is a shop available selling local products. Jardins Secrets is a peaceful and charming hideaway in the heart of the Roman city, with its famous amphitheatre Les Arènes, and monument La Maison Carrée." - My Boutique Hotel (en)
