The Best Hotels In Arles France For Every Traveller

The Roman-city marvel of Arles is, famously, the gateway to France’s untamed coastal Camargue region, where wild horses roam. But it’s so much more.

The clue’s in the aforementioned “R” word. Some of its key monuments, including the arena and the Roman theatre, date back to the 1st Century BC, although Arles blossomed twice again, in the 4th, then the 11th and 12th Centuries. You don’t need to be an archaeologist to love the place: beside the flowing Rhone, Arles is a sun-baked gem of a French-Mediterranean town, still recognisable from the colour-bright art of Van Gogh (see his masterpiece “Cafe Terrace at Night”, painted in 1888). Come to laze in sunny-shady squares found down tight, cobbled ways, and to sip carafes of red with dinner outside bars, under stars. And when it’s bedtime? Here are the best hotels in Arles – for every traveler.
