Welcome to the Cité de Carcassonne, and especially to Hôtel de la Cité, a hidden gem nestled within the UNESCO World Heritage ramparts. This legendary five-star hotel is where timeless charm meets understated, intimate luxury. Over the years, iconic figures have stayed here,  and for good reason : it’s hard to imagine a more magical place to escape as a couple, far from the outside world. A secret garden in the heart of a medieval city.
