Hotel La Mirande

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.

Beautiful hotel. Our room was very nice and breakfast was delicious. The only negative comment I have was that we were hoping to dine at the hotel, but they were fully booked. We never received an e-mail when we made the our hotel booking so I did not know that hotel guests had to book in advance.

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.

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel and its location. The day concierge was excellent in arranging transportation and giving restaurant recommendations. We unfortunately did not have a positive experience at the restaurant, so instead of dining 2 nights at the hotel, we dined once. Had a private wine tour which was excellent and arranged by the concierge/front desk. Bottled water was provided daily.

Room that I was upgraded to was very nice. I would have liked better pillows. Sort of flat and not down. Biggest complaint would be the room keys are difficult to work as they are the old fashion key and the locks have been worn down over the years of use…..it is quaint to have the old fashion key but not super practical
