Hôtel & Spa Jules César Arles – MGallery by Sofitel
Overview
The Hôtel & Spa Jules César Arles – MGallery by Sofitel was once a Carmelite convent founded in 1661. Some three centuries later, several enterprising hoteliers has transformed the entire complex into a luxurious boutique hotel. It quickly developed a prestigious reputation. But by the early 2000s, time had taken its toll on the historical structure. Sofitel soon acquired the building, which it determined to save through an ambitious series of renovations. Renowned designer Christian Lacroix oversaw the project, who managed to brilliantly combine elements of the location’s stunning 17th-century character with contemporary artistic flair. When the renovations concluded in 2014, the Hôtel & Spa Jules César Arles stood as one of southern France’s most esteemed holiday destinations.
The site is a hotel of character that combines elements of the 17th century with contemporary art, bringing the hotel to the present while not forgetting its past. The hotel offers 52 uniquely decorated rooms, 11 of which are suites designed to embody one of three personalities, Lacroix, Provençal, or Monastic. The hotel also features a range of other amenities, including an outside pool and a fitness room. When hungry, guests will find that the Lou Marqués restaurant is an excellent option for fine dining, while the Bar Le Jules is the perfect option for relaxing with friends for an evening drink. Tired travelers and city explorers will also relish the opportunity to rejuvenate at the spa, which offers a variety of ancient treatments to send guests away feeling refreshed.
