"Carcassonne is the largest walled citadel in Europe, and the Hôtel de la Cité sits behind the ancient fortifications, with the Romanesque Château Comtal and the Gothic Basilica of Saint-Nazaire as its neighbors. Though the citadel’s ramparts date back to the 13th century, and the original Roman village some seven hundred years before that, the Hotel de la Cité is not quite one hundred years old. In its current incarnation as a member of the MGallery Collection, however, it looks like something straight out of the 15th century, the rooms packed with antique furniture and ornate woodwork, and stained-glass windows adding color to the sunlight." - Tablet Hotels
