Hôtel de la Cité***** Orient-Express

A château within a château, a monument within a monument, the Hôtel de la Cité is full of a delightfully retro charm – that dreamt-of place closing the door on the noisy world outside.

Carcassonne (Aude)

Between the Romanesque Counts’ Château and the Gothic Basilica of Saint-Nazaire, the Hôtel de la Cité stands amidst its green gardens. With its stone walls, wood panelling and stained-glass windows, the hotel welcomes each guest into warm and luxurious surroundings.

Character and Reputation are Hôtel de la Cité’s Letters Patent of Nobility
47 bedrooms and 14 suites and junior suites offer personalised and elegant surroundings and amenities (including air-conditioning, sound-proofing, direct telephone and internet connection, television).
Some rooms have a spectacular view over the ramparts, the medieval citadel and the château, others look out onto the narrow cobblestone lanes of the citadel.
The hotel is ideally situated for business tourism. It disposes of 6 meeting and conference rooms with state-of-the-art equipment, able to accommodate close to 250 participants. The gardens, the Salon du Jardin and the Tower Salon are ideally suited for cocktails and receptions.
The Hôtel de la Cité’s fame also rests on the reputation of its gourmet restaurant, La Barbacane. The superb fireplace, high ceilings and cathedral chairs of this neogothic style dining room, situated in the heart of the hotel, exude elegance and refinement. Widely recommended by restaurant guides, La Barbacane – which can seat up to a hundred guests – offers an inventive menu using regional produce of the highest quality, where the importance of each ingredient is subtly underscored.
For a meal in more relaxed surroundings, the Brasserie Chez Saskia in the Hôtel de la Cité offers excellent food in a quiet and casual setting.

New : Set in the park our Lounge bar is open every day for cocktails and a selection of tapas.
