My wife and myself stayed at Hotel de la Cite for 3 nights at the end of August. We had a great time and very good weather. The hotel is located within the medieval city next to Basilica of Saint-Nazaire. Our room was a Deluxe Street View Room, which was nice and clean. My only complaint - there wasn't enough... more

Even in August this hotel is an oasis with wonderful views and a restaurant which easily surpasses the standard of the one Michelin star which it retains. The staff are unfailingly professional but friendly too and the cruise on Le Canal du Midi in the hotel's launch is an experience no one would easily forget. The accomodation is to the... more

Hotel de Cite is nested inside the walls of Carcassonne and therefore is a must if you want to see the city - and can afford it. You may explore the city before/after thousands of tourists come inside. The Hotel itself has a beautiful lobby/entrance and an even nicer garden. The breakfast buffet - for France - is exceptional (and... more

Stayed here for 3 nights with family in mid June in a suite. It was a lovely hotel within the city walls. The rooms had wonderful views over Carcassonne, they were clean, spacious, incredibly comfy and well equipped. The staff were incredibly helpful - when a bed without a headboard was changed for one with, it was done quickly and... more

Set just beyond the tacky commercial center of Carcassonne, but still within its walls, Hotel de la Cite takes full advantage of the restored town's beautiful bones and carries luxury to a high pitch. From the tasting menu at the renowned Barbican restaurant, to the second floor suite with enormous terrace overlooking the city, to the most elegant and elaborate... more

The Hotel de La Cite is one of only two hotels located inside the medieval walls of Carcassonne. Parking is actually outside the walls of the city and the hotel provides shuttle service. This five-star accommodation will was one of the highlights of our anniversary trip. We were upgraded to a room with a large walk out patio with spectacular... more

This was very nearly a glowing report, and one that would therefore have surprised me, because I'm no great fan of Orient Express hotels...(for the low point on their management chart, see La Residencia in Deia, Mallorca). But at this hotel, amazingly situated within the walls of the almost too Disneyesque citadel, things could not have started better. I got... more

4:48 PM 10/15/2007 No wonder this hotel gets high marks. It is wonderful. I had the best upgrade (Jr. Suite) with a private terrace. It must have been attached to the biggest suite as it was off in a large private hall with crystal chandelier, adjoining the conference room. I was a happy camper. ........................................ I BOOKED DIRECTLY WITH THE... more
