ARLES
Entrance of Hotel 3 in Arles.
Hotel #1 will be available, while Hotel #2 is going to be closed at the time we will be in Arles. And then there is Hotel #3, which with its extravagant features, colors and style has enchanted previous tour participants. Given the high touristic demand in Arles at the time of the year, I feel privileged to be able to offer reservations in these hotels. There are 4 different room categories offered, see below.
Hotel 1, is in a quiet part of the historic center, close to the Place de la République where City Hall is on one side, and to the Roman Theater on the other. This hotel has been totally re-designed in a delightful and very colorful style. This is where the rooms included in the tour are.
Hotel 3, is near the Forum square, and offers the ultimate style and comfort available in town. There are two rooms available there as an upgrade.
