About the hotel

Hotel d’Europe, one of the oldest hotels in the world, is located in the centre of Avignon, a vibrant city with a relaxed cafe culture and intriguing history. Dating back to 1799, this historical hotel proudly boasts a gourmet restaurant and range of luxurious rooms and suites – perfect for a luxury culture break in Avignon.

Each room has been elegantly decorated with subtle tones, antique furniture and marble bathrooms. Most of the rooms also benefit from superb views of the romantic streets of Provence.

The city's medieval bridge – immortalised in the children’s rhyme Sur le Pont d’Avignon – is well worth visiting, and only five minutes’ walk from the hotel. The Palace of the Popes – built in the 14th Century when the Catholic Church split briefly from Rome – is another must-see.

The Hotel d’Europe exudes an old-world charm and elegance in the heart of one of the most beautiful areas of France – truly the finest deluxe destination in Provence.
