Hôtel La Mirande

We had a wonderful stay at La Mirande. It is a beautiful hotel in a great location in Avignon. The hotel is in a very old building, but the rooms are very comfortable and include modern amenities, including fast wifi and a TV ingeniously placed in a period-appropriate mirror. Service across the hotel was amazing. The front desk staff made dinner reservations for us and arranged for a driver to take us to the train station. We had dinner in the Michelin star restaurant one night and it was perhaps the most creative and innovative meal I've ever had with incredible service. If arriving by train, take the hotel up on its offer to book transfer for you. Our driver was waiting for us at the bottom of the escalator and expertly navigated the complex series of bollards and narrow streets to get us to the hotel.

Beautiful La Mirande hotel in Avignon||I stayed in La Miranda during early November for 8 nights.||This is the third times staying in this same hotel, every time I came Avignon I stayed in La Mirande. I think it is the best hotel in Avignon. Located in center of Avignon.||The reception team is helpful, friendly and considerate, always made me feel like home. The staffs Melina & Anthony both have a high standard for serving hotel guest in all aspect.||The house keeping team is excellent, morning and evening times when I came back to hotel, always tidy and towels changed, bottle water prepared. The house keeping ladies are very polite too.||The room is excellent well decorated, comfortable and very quiet in evening times.||I tried their La Restaurant inside the hotel, that's amazing French Gastronomy dinning experience by renowned chef Florent. ||Breakfast's place is beautiful, outside is garden.|Their lobby is my favour spot in the hotel, charming and cozy for reading or relaxing, Tea cake choices during tea time is excellent too, a lot tea choices.||The hotel itself is not a fancy luxury hotel, it is prestige, sophisticated, and luxury in a subtle way.

This place is filled with history. The location can't be better if you want to visit Avignon. It is right next to the palace of the popes. Food is great, atmosphere is blending with the city history. Service is not on par with big 5 stars hotels, there is no pool etc But it is still a very unique place and if you are looking into a cultural vacation it is the place to go to!

A beautiful hotel with old world charm. The rooms are lovely and unique. The front desk staff was very helpful! Remy and Anthony were extremely kind and helpful with many travel issues we encountered. Driving to the hotel is tricky. Make sure you secure information from the hotel before attempting to navigate the labyrinth of "streets" inside the city wall. Miranda the cat was an added treat for us!

My wife and I stayed at La Mirande for two nights as a part of our minimoon following our wedding a few days earlier in Provence. Staying at La Mirande was liking taking a step back into time. The hotel is seeped in history and it shows. Our room, number 20, was gorgeous, with brightly colored fabric wallpaper and views that looked out over the garden onto the walls of the Pope's Palace. The restaurant was also exquisite. We opted for the 6-course with wine pairing, and it was easily the most memorable restaurant of the year for us both.

I'm truly disappointed to write this review about our recent stay at La Mirande Hotel, especially given the fantastic experience we had just two years ago. Unfortunately, this visit was nothing short of a disaster. The room was a major letdown. Not only did the desk lamp run dangerously hot without actually turning on, but attempting to unplug it revealed exposed wires haphazardly wrapped with electrical tape. Neither the TV nor the phone worked, and when we reported these issues to the front desk, we were met with an unhelpful attitude and no solutions. To make things worse, housekeeping removed the faulty light fixture and phone but didn’t bother replacing them. After dinner, when the TV still refused to function, we had to walk back to the front desk to have someone come and unplug it just to turn it off, an inconvenience that really shouldn't happen at a hotel of this caliber. Trying to get a drink before dinner was equally frustrating. The bar seemed understaffed, much like our last visit, and we were told it would be a 30-minute wait due to a group tour ahead of us. This is simply unacceptable, especially when paying premium prices. Upon checkout, we requested to speak with the manager regarding our unpleasant experience, but instead of addressing our concerns, we were simply handed a business card and told to call next time. While the property still retains its magical charm, it sadly felt a bit dusty and neglected this time around. At these prices, one would expect a room that functions properly and a staff that's attentive to the needs of its guests. Unfortunately, this visit to La Mirande Hotel did not rise to those expectations. Here's hoping they address these issues promptly so future guests can enjoy the experience we once did.

One of the most amazing places I have stayed. Everything was excellent - location, the service, the rooms. I could not fault it, and look forward to our next visit.

Amazing experience and amazing staff. We were there for the Christmas market and it was such a lovely atmosphere. Looking forward to come back soon! |Special mention to Lucas, the manager, who made sure all time long that we were enjoying the experience.

Loved the service, the room, and eating breakfast on our room's terrace each morning. I highly recommend this place as your stay when you come to Avignon.

We ate in the downstairs cellar restaurant. The portions were small and inconsistent. There was a meat pate dish that was delicious, but the rest were only alright. The goat cheese dish and mushroom dish were not so tasty, as they lacked flavour. I also ate in the upstairs garden restaurant and it was also only okay. Got the crispy chicken (caesar) salad and for the first time I'm going to admit that this dish is better in America.

We have stayed at a lot of quaint hotels but this one is top of the list. I booked it through American Express. The entire staff was 5 star and very accommodating and offered the highest level of customer experience and service. Well received by us as we were in unfamiliar territory. My favorite person is the gentlemen who received is at the door. He is the valet, bellman, and everything else. He greets you with a smile and a genuine welcome. He works hard but never loses his smile. It made us feel warm and welcomed. The desk staff also was very accommodating and appreciative of our business. The rooms themselves were made of mid century coverings and quiet. The bed was super comfortable and shower... amazing waterfall shower head. We had dinner there at the Chef's Table and it was a delight. Jeff is an amazing chef. I will never forget his strawberries nor his duck. Delicious! I highly recommend having dinner this way as you will have wonderful wine, meet new people and see how your meal is prepared by the best. A+ all around.

La Mirande is hands down worth every penny! So far one of my favorite hotels! Located in Avignon right behind the famous Palais Du Papes. Service is incredible. The staff that we met are just super friendly and really helpful! The hotel is close to restaurants and shops. The only time we had to get shuttled was for our trip to the French Wineries and for our tour of the old historic towns. Breakfast by their quaint gardens is a must! Our room is very pretty and large enough for the gentleman and myself. Romantic vibe all around.

Michelin one star chef. Match the star very much. Everything is fine as a whole. The mushroom and the fillet are perfect and surprisingly tasty. The desserts are beautifully and deliciously presented.

This was one of the most enjoyable hotel experiences I have been lucky enough to have. The hotel is perfectly situated behind the Pope's Palace. A large manor house, very central, you can easily walk to the major sights, restaurants and shops of this charming town in the north of Provence. The gardens were filled with jasmine and lavender and in the warmer months you can sit outside for meals. The dining room was a delight serving provencal specialties accompanied by a spectacular wine list -you are in wine country after all. The rooms were charming, cozy, decorated straight out of a magazine with colorful fabrics from Provence. The bathrooms sported fabulous rainfall shower heads and the bath products were lavender scented from the region. You really got a feel for the place you were in. And the service was incredibly helpful, and were there to make sure anything we would want or need was seen to. Ever since I left, I have wanted to go back.

This is a 2.5 star review. The hotel is very difficult to find -- the street leading to it had what we later learned was a retractable post; so, we drove around and around, and around and around Avignon (which has some very narrow streets) for about 40 minutes before finally finding out we needed to depress some button to make the street post disappear (no signs ... not even in French). Once there, we found the hotel to be beautiful, but a little tired/run down. I realize it's a very old building (an former cardinal's residence immediately behind the Palais du Papes), but it was musty and dank (we were there in late April when it wasn't too hot). When we're in the Provence region again, we'll stay in some smaller, cleaner town. We didn't really care for Avignon as a destination point.

We are in Provence for our honey moon. After a 4 day long bicycle tour decided to stay in Avignon and made a reservation here. We got the 5 course tasting menu for €60. And a there is a 7 course one of €80. There is an extensive wine list from €30- €3000. We got an organic rose from le baux (on the lower end). It was amazing. Every course was exceptionally delicious and beautifully presented. The truffle gnocchi was honestly one of the best things I've ever eaten in my life. The grand finale a lemon tart in a sugar ball! The ambiance was great. We dined in their garden with a beautiful ambience. My only criticism it was a windy evening and it kept blowing out our romantical candle.

There are mainly two hotels to stay at in Avignon, either Hotel d'Europe, where we stayed, or Hotel La Mirande. Next time we will stay at La Mirande which has a wonderful location just behind Pope's Palace. Instead, we had dinner at La Mirande one of the two evenings we stayed in Avignon. Beautiful setting having dinner in the garden. The five course set menu was superb and included some of the best foie gras I have ever had. The wine list was very extensive, with of course a focus on excellent wines from Provence. A very memorable dinner and evening!

We had lunch at La Mirande which was really good and with pleasant service. The lunch was so good we later returned the same week for dinner, which was also very good. They have tables outside in the garden, which are really nice.
