The 8 Best Hotels in Provence (2026)

Updated November 2026 · 8 picks

The best hotels in Provence in 2026 are Baumanière at Les Baux-de-Provence, Crillon le Brave below Mont Ventoux, Coquillade among Luberon vineyards, Villa La Coste on the art-and-wine estate near Aix, Villa Gallici in Aix-en-Provence, the Hôtel d'Europe in Avignon, and Mas de Peint for the Camargue.

Choose a Provence hotel by the area you want to explore: the Luberon for the hill villages and lavender, the Alpilles (Les Baux, Saint-Rémy) for Roman sites and Van Gogh, Aix-en-Provence for city life, Avignon for the Palais des Papes and trains, and the Camargue for wild nature. Most of the best hotels are in the countryside, so plan on a car. Many close from November to March; summer and the July Avignon Festival book up early.
