Hôtel de la Cité

Located between two historic landmarks, the Roman Château Comtal and Saint Nazaire Gothic Basilica, the hotel is set in its own glorious gardens. Each of the 42 guestrooms and 19 suites are furnished and decorated in an aristocratic style.

With its solid stone walls, wood panelling and stained-glass windows, the hotel offers luxurious hospitality. Several of the rooms and suites have balconies and terraces, offering spectacular views of Carcassonne, the ramparts of the mediaeval Citadel, and the castle. Other rooms offer views of the narrow cobble-stone streets of the Citadel.

Enjoy swimming in the only heated pool in the citadel, horse riding, or golf at the nearby Carcassonne course. The reception desk can arrange day excursions, sightseeing and barge-cruises.

La Barbacane gastronomic reputation is firmly established. The restaurant is open from Thursday to Monday and it is located in the heart of the hotel. The neo-Gothic dining room features magnificent fireplaces, high ceilings and cathedral chairs.

You can also enjoy a relaxing and informal dinner al fresco, in the outdoor summer restaurant, le Jardin de l'Evêque. It is open daily from 1 June to 30 September.

The brasserie, Chez Saskia, is open daily for breakfast and lunch, and for dinner on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
