Four- Star Arles Hotels

Jules Cesar
Formerly a Carmelite convent, the Small Luxury Hotels Jules-Cesar is a historic hotel that boasts all the details of a completely modernized air-conditioned hotel. The spacious foyer, the rooms, the apartments, and the dining-room, are all decorated with Provencal fabrics, and antique or rustic furniture. Although the hotel is spotlessly clean and the rooms are spacious with modern baths, the hotel needs some refurbishing. Don’t expect perfection, but do expect to be treated well. The restaurant is one of the best in Arles.

2-Star and Budget Hotels in Arles

Hotel De L’Amphitheatre
28 Rooms
This two-star hotel is simply underrated. The reason is that there is no AC and no elevator, so if you are on an upper floor, you will need to carry your bags up a few flights of stairs. For those who can manage, it is worth the inconvenience. Another plus is the triple and quad rooms for families. Well decorated and well maintained, you will enjoy this hotel that is situated in the center of town.
