The 18th century building that now stands as Pont Levis Hotel**** has been welcoming visitors in one way or another for hundreds of years. It was initially an inn, and then a museum before its current incarnation as a luxury hotel. Lovingly restored, it sits just metres away from the 'Porte Narbonnaise', the main entrance to the enchanting walled city.
The introduction of contemporary steel to the façade contrasts against the older original elements of the building to create a stylish look. The homely yet funky style of décor throughout continues the modern theme. Each room is uniquely decorated in bold colours with quality furnishings and state-of-the-art technology. From the comfort of your private terrace you can soak up the picturesque country views, alternatively relax during the day on the ground floor lounge which offers a lovely little spot for relaxation and reading. Later head to the welcoming bar, where a local wine or champagne makes the perfect pre-dinner drink.
The outdoor swimming pool sits on a wooded decking area which is scattered with lounge chairs, inviting you to take a moment to yourself and have a little dip. A pretty garden and orchard encloses you in a private Eden, with fragrant lavender and large hanging trees providing corners of shade. The pointed spires of the neighbouring medieval city's ramparts pierce horizon creating the perfect backdrop.
Explore the picturesque fortifications of Carcassonne with over 3 km of walls and an impressive 52 towers. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves was partly shot here, as well as an adaptation of Labyrinth, the best-selling thriller by Kate Mosse which was set in the city. Prepare for all the magic and medieval charm as Pont Levis Hotel**** puts you in the very heart of the historic heritage of this UNESCO World Site.
