Best Luxury Hotels in Les Baux-de-Provence

"Hôtel d’Europe is a beautiful, historic property ideally located within the walls of Avignon, just steps from the Palais des Papes. The location is ideal for exploring the city, with everything easily accessible on foot. The staff truly stands out. Every interaction was warm, attentive, and welcoming, creating a level of service that elevates the entire experience. The hotel embraces its history, offering classic charm while still providing thoughtful modern comforts. While I did not dine at the Michelin-starred restaurant, having that level of dining available on-site is a great feature for guests who want that experience without leaving the hotel. The bar is excellent and was a highlight of the stay. The bartenders were engaging, skilled, and clearly take pride in what they do. The rooms are well-appointed with all the expected amenities—coffee, tea, robes, and a full range of bath essentials—making for a comfortable stay. The only drawback was a significant issue on the first night: there was no hot water, and the shower was freezing. After a long day of travel, this was not a great way to start the stay. Overall, Hôtel d’Europe delivers on service, location, and atmosphere, with one notable issue that impacted the first impression."

"Didn't use the bar. "

"Weirdest hotel layout ever. No sockets to charge my phone in the entire room. No air conditioning. No WiFi. Avignon is great but there’s probably better deals in the area. They are wearing suits but it slept like a French motel 6. "

"Tout était parfait …un grand merci pour votre accueil "

" I’ll start with the room:  No cushions on the chairs outside. It was a lovely day, but there weren’t any comfortable chairs to sit on outside. No blankets or extra pillows. No floor lamps (I couldn’t see to read in the bedroom while sitting in the tiny chairs by the window). One piece of tissue left in the dispenser.  No washcloths. Hair conditioner in the shower but not the bathtub. No toiletries to speak of (just some unsanitary cotton pads and Q-tips in a jar) and a small bottle of lotion. A lid that we had to take off with our hands to dispose of trash in the bathroom.   A ridiculous and dysfunctional coffee and tea station. It looks like a shelf that slides out, but it is actually stationary. I tried to pull it out to make some tea and pulled the shelf off of its nails, and the whole thing came crashing down. Everything broke. Glass everywhere. The tea kettle is so big it won’t fit under the tap. We had to fill it from the bathtub and the cord was so short it didn’t reach the outlet until we moved the table closer to it. We ordered room service, and the food was really bad. Truly. There was no pepper sauce on my steak aux poivre, the fries were greasy and the shrimp entree was literally inedible. Breakfast seemed like we were eating leftovers from brunch the previous day. The food was not fresh and the waitress in your glorious dining room seemed more concerned with setting up empty tables than actually waiting on the few of us who were there. "

"Amazing. So helpful when we arrived late. Dinner on the lawn was memorable. "
