Modern digs in Aix en Provence.

In-room style explores the softer side of chic.

Right off the motorway, less than a 5-km drive from the centre (and parking is free!).

All the convenience of a location off the motorway without any of the pesky noise.

Tucked below the Sainte Victoire Mountain in a 13th(!) century building, just 15 mins from Aix-en-Provence.

Brilliant location at the foot of the Saint Charles station stairs — perfect for daytrips.

Steps from (yes, that) La Canebière Street, which takes you down to the port with shopping/noshing adventures along the way.

Biz & leisure travelers alike will dig the free WiFi.

Retro-chic décor that blends eye-popping colours and modern wall art to create an upbeat vibe.

Basic but cozy rooms get the job done.

Prime central locale puts shops, eats and sights at your fingertips.

Steps from the metro/TGV station. Great news for over-packers.

Philippe Starck-designed property is equal parts funky and chic, industrial and tech-savvy. Hey, Mama.

Recalling a country palace, the building is an 18th century homage to French grandeur, complete with a wrought-iron gate and garden entrance.

En suite décor is a nod to the area’s nautical heritage, rockin’ a soothing blue palette + wood accents.
