Luxury hotels, hotel suites and fine dining restaurants in Occitanie

<h2>Travel to Occitania&nbsp;</h2>&nbsp;Occitania promises a true journey of the senses with its great diversity of landscapes and its architectural, traditional and gastronomic heritage. In the heart of the South-West of France, this lively and welcoming region boasts medieval castles, enchanting villages where time passes peacefully and colourful markets where you can buy aligot purée, a cheesy mashed potatoes delicacy, Limoux stew or Cévennes honey. If the big cities such as Montpellier and its Peyrou promenade, Nîmes and its Pont du Gard or Toulouse, the pink city, are to be remembered, we invite you to take advantage of your stay in Occitania to travel back in time by discovering the region's historical heritage. Admire the medieval fortresses of Carcassonne, visit the Toulouse-Lautrec museum in Albi and marvel at the cave paintings in the Niaux and Pech Merle. Occitania also has many natural treasures, from the towering peaks of the Pyrenees to the romantic Canal du Midi, and the Cirque de Gavarnie, where you can venture between lakes, meadows and forests with its wild flora and fauna. The Mediterranean coastline is dotted with charming towns where you can just relax and enjoy the beach during your holidays in Occitania.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>Luxury hotels in Occitania&nbsp;</h2>&nbsp;Set in a castle, a 17th-century manor house, a chartreuse or on a private island, our luxury hotels in Occitania promise an unforgettable stay. Surrounded by beautiful formal gardens, vineyards or 300-year-old parkland, our charming establishments offer views of the region's forests and green hills. As you stroll along the crenellated alleys of these enchanting places, your gaze will inevitably fall on the ivy-draped turrets, the remarkable façade or the master staircase that will lead you to interiors where classic meets contemporary in harmony. You will find original features such as antique fireplaces, stone balustrades, high ceilings and traditional paintings, blending effortlessly with brightly coloured furniture, metallic lampshades or eccentric artworks. A sense of peace envelops you as soon as you enter the rooms of our luxury hotels in Occitania. In some you may find a four-poster bed, a painted vaulted ceiling, exposed 14th century beams or polished Versailles parquet. In others you'll find Catalan terracotta floors, white leather chairs or marble baths with copper fittings.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>Fine dining restaurants in Occitania, the richness of the region’s land&nbsp;</h2>&nbsp;Passion, generosity and tradition are the key words of the dishes concocted by our Chefs in the fine dining restaurants of our luxury hotels in Occitania. From Quercy lamb to Gascony duck, from Lalbenque truffles to foie gras from the South-West, the products of the Occitan region are highlighted in our menus and refined tables, with combinations of aromatic herbs and spices from around the Mediterranean. Our local producers and&nbsp;&nbsp;restaurateurs work in synergy to offer you culinary experiences in memorable settings. In winter, sit in a beautiful Louis XIII dining room and in summer, on a terrace overlooking the surrounding nature for a casual lunch or a romantic dinner, lit by candlelight.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>Best hotels in Occitania, having well-being and adventure at heart&nbsp;</h2>&nbsp;The spas in our best luxury hotels in Occitania are a tribute to this region renowned for its thermal spas. Nestled between the Roman vaults in the basement or occupying the entire top floor, these well-being retreats, some of which are supplied by hot springs dating back more than 20,000 years, invite you to unwind during a revitalising massage given by our experienced therapists. Most of our 5-star hotels have a swimming pool, often heated, between the castle walls, on the roof, at ground level or inside, where you can relax after a game of tennis or golf. Some of our luxury establishments offer the chance to take to the skies in a hot-air balloon to admire the beauty of the region from above. These experiences are meticulously designed by our teams in our charming hotels, who are keen to help you make the most of the Occitania’s heritage. Awaken the oenologist in you and, with the advice of our concierges, take the local wine route to discover the vineyards of the South-West where you can taste several nectars and learn more about winemaking. A stay in Occitania also means practising sports in an abundant environment. Canoe down the Dordogne, hike along the footpaths around our luxury hotels and ride a mountain bike to enjoy superb views of the snow-capped peaks of Mount Canigou. At sunset, while you horseback ride through the Camargue Regional Nature Park, let yourself be surprised by the sight of a colony of pink flamingos.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>Relais &amp; Châteaux in Occitania&nbsp;</h2>&nbsp;Our luxury hotels in Occitania aim to help you discover the unique art of living and sense of hospitality that characterise this region proud of its roots.
