Hôtel de la Cité in Carcassonne

Hôtel de la Cité occupies a particularly distinctive position in Carcassonne: it is on Place Auguste-Pierre Pont, inside the old ramparts of the citadel and close to the Basilique Saint-Nazaire. The walls are not simply a nearby sight; they frame the hotel’s immediate setting and appear in the views from its accommodation.

Rooms and suites

The property description records 47 rooms and 13 suites. Their outlook is either across the city or towards the ramparts. Air conditioning, high-speed internet access, a telephone and a large-screen television are included in the room specification described there.

Room categories and layouts are not detailed beyond that distinction, so travellers should confirm the configuration they require before booking. The historic prices in the directory entry have been omitted because they do not establish present rates.

Restaurants and bars

The property is described as having four restaurants and three bars, with a separate menu for each venue. Traditional cooking based on produce from the region is the main approach identified in the directory entry, and food is served both indoors and outside.

The number of operating venues, individual menus and outdoor service can vary over time. Guests planning to dine at the hotel should therefore check which restaurants and bars will be open during their stay.

Meetings and leisure

Five meeting rooms are listed, with the largest able to accommodate up to 250 people. This capacity comes from the associated French account and should be confirmed directly when planning an event, together with the current room layout and equipment. The hotel also has an outdoor swimming pool within the property.

Address and practical context

The address given is Hôtel de la Cité, Place Auguste-Pierre Pont, 11000 Carcassonne. Its position within the ramparts and near the basilica is the key practical feature for orientation. Current room facilities, restaurant arrangements, meeting capacity and pool access should be verified with the hotel before travel.
