“Peaceful Boutique Hotel”

Hotel Particulier

wkmoon

May 16, 2008

We based a week-long visit to Provence in Arles in April and stayed at the Hotel Particulier. My husband's aunt and uncle had spent a week there last May and highly recommended it. We were a party of 3- my mother-in-law, my husband and me, and we had their "2 Bedroom Suite", Room 14. It was located in a building at the rear of the property on the top floor, which, from reading other reviews, sounds VERY different in decor. The rooms were very modern, basically solid white in decor. We had a very large bathroom with both tub and separate shower that included massage spray and rainfall showerhead. The room at the top of the stairs where my mother-in-law stayed also had a bathroom and great rooftop views of Old Town Arles. The bed was very firm, which did not bother me, but might bother some people. There was a mini-bar, hairdryer, and robes.

The L-shaped courtyard is very peaceful, and the lap pool looked inviting in spite of it being a bit cool for swimming outdoors. I would recommend the little indoor/outdoor room in the rear of the property in the evenings (L'Orangerie?). They light fires in 2 fire pits and there is music playing in the background. The chairs are large enough to seat 2 who want to cozy up to each other. Apparently the hotel offers a coffee service as there were menus all over this room as well as the gathering room on the first floor of this back building, but no one approached us to see if we wanted coffee. The gathering room in this building was also very modern in decor with old Laurel and Hardy movies playing on a wall over a fireplace., set to strange music. Again, I think this building is very different than the front of the property.

We did have dinner one night at the hotel. Honestly, I was disappointed. It was very expensive (a 50 euro menu, an 80 euro menu, and carte items as well), but they had numerous substitutions and the food was mediocre.

We did not have breakfast due to the expense, and also there were so many little cafes within walking distance and we wanted to experience the true neighborhood cafe feel.

The hotel is in a great location, but almost impossible to find. If you miss your turn at any point, you may find yourself wandering the TINY streets of the old village where even small French cars can barely make the turns. Also, the staff will require you to leave your room key with them whenever you leave the premises, which I did not really like doing.

Finally, the hotel assessed a charge of 180 euros for the second bed in the suite. After pointing out the fact that we were in their advertised "two bedroom" suite, they removed the charge.

I am not sure that I would stay here again, but I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a quiet, intimate destination. It'd be great for an anniversary trip. I'd try to stay up in the main building, though.

“Quiet and magic place”

We stayed at the Hotel Particulier for 3 nights, planning a trip in Provence, visited Harles, Avignon, Camargue......
We were more than pleased, quiet and beautifull place, kind of a boutique Hotel. Better get there with GPS because it's a bit complicated to find. We travelled with our 2 girls and had a 2 room unit with stairs. Highly recommended.

“Great Hotel”

Hotel Particulier

1/1 found this review helpful

the Hotel was beautiful--calm, serene with a great courtyard. The room was huge and very clean--nice bed linens, nice towels, great bathrobes. Plenty of room. It was very clean. It was the best hotel on our trip.

It was also very convenient to walk into centre ville. All the restaurants and cafes were within walking distance.

They had free internet which was nice.

The resturant recommendations they made were very good.

The hotel was a little hard to find.

The room rate was reasonable for a hotel of this quality. However, everything else was extremely expensive.

They charged around 20 Euros a day for parking (don't remember if it was 18 or 21 exactly). That was not mentioned anywhere when we were making our reservation. We were there for 4 nights--so an extra 80 Euros adds up. There was a parking garage in the center of town that was 5 Euros from about 5PM until 10AM the next morning. Considering we were using our car during the day to drive and explore the area--there was no need to pay 20 Euros a day to park our car there when this garage was so close.

The courtyard at the hotel was gorgeous and calm. They have a nice lap pool. However, food and drinks were super expensive. I know you expect to pay more at a hotel. We very much would have sat in the courtyard for breakfast or drinks--but to pay three to four times what I would pay when I could walk two minutes to a cafe for the same glass of wine?

Overall a great hotel and I would return. Just be prepared for things at the hotel to be expensive and/or be prepared to leave the hotel for breakfast and drinks.

“A real treat”

pic from room

The hotel was an oasis, the setting beautiful and serene. It is one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed in. Our room was gorgeous, and each room is unique. And the bed (a king size) was very comfortable. The bathroom was plush with one of the most comfortable bathtubs I’ve ever used. Based on past postings we didn’t eat breakfast (too pricey) but were happy that they had parking.

“Great city hotel - relaxed vibe and well located”

Hotel Particulier

A rare 5 star give, but it is worth it. The Hotel Particulier is a wonderful relaxed city hotel, set amid a private countyard of gardens with nice rooms, well deocrated and great bathrooms - all incorporated into rather quirky old townhouses. The staff are very accommodating, perfectly pitching recommendations for dinner and other activities for us. The vibe is very relaxed but underscoring it all is a well run hotel, if you ask for something it gets done and this makes the whole stay ever more relaxing.

Will return!
