Hotel De La Cite — Carcassonne, France

The walled city of Carcassonne stands high on a hill above the River Aude, overlooking the valley of Lauragais and the lush Minervois vineyards. It is Europe's largest fortified citadel, each stone a mute witness to its romantic past. Standing between two historic landmarks, the Roman Chateau Comtal and the Gothic Basilica of Saint-Nazaire, the Hotel de la Cite is set in its own glorious gardens. With its solid stone walls, wood panelling and stained-glass windows, the Hotel offers luxurious hospitality. As befits a hotel of such unique character, each of its 42 guestrooms and 19 Suites and Junior Suites is individually furnished and decorated with more than a dash of aristocratic style. The rooms in the Hotel de la Cite are not all identical, varying in shape, layout and interiors. Several of our rooms and suites have balconies and terraces allowing spectacular views of Carcassonne and the ramparts of the medieval Citadel, as well as the Castle. Other rooms offer views of the narrow cobble-stoned streets of the Citadel. The Hotel de la Cite's gastronomic reputation rests on La Barbacane Restaurant. Located in the heart of the hotel, its neo-Gothic room features magnificent fireplaces, high ceilings and cathedral chairs. Regularly recommended by the most important gourmet guides, La Barbacane Restaurant offers a menu combining the freshest local ingredients with innovative recipes and fine attention to detail. Throughout the hotel, the emphasis is on warmth and elegance and our guests will be delighted by the very pleasant traditional atmosphere.
