Jules César Hotel & Spa Arles MGallery Collection

The hotel truly is an eclectic mélange, a unique blend of history and character. Its name and exterior are distinctly Roman, immediately setting a grand tone, and the interior is stylized by Christian Lacroix, adding another layer of artistic flair. The building itself was once an ancient Carmelite convent. The staff was incredibly friendly, greeted us with flavored water at check-in, and included a tour of the property when taking us to our room. We appreciated the many nice touches, such as complimentary refreshments and snacks in the minibar, and 'calissons' on our pillows at turndown. The pool area, while not quite matching the grandeur of the advertising photos, offered a pleasant spot for a refreshing dip. We appreciated the provided towel service, and it was still delightful to cool off before heading into town to visit nearby Arena, Theater and many spots painted by Van Gogh.

Hotel is very nice, interesting design changing between rooms, very good restaurant, and very friendly staff. Swimming pool is very nice, especially when not too busy ! Rooms are very comfortable, however, few details could be updated to keep to the new standards. Hotel is very close to the old city center, few steps to reach by foot.

Enjoyable stay in a great location. All staff were very helpful. Room was on the small side. The most annoying thing about this hotel is they provideed a mini fridge with 1 still water, 1 sparkling, and a couple of juices. This was never refilled which was disappointing. In every other hotel we stayed in France still drinking water was replenished every day.
