La Mirande
Avignon, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France · Virtuoso
Set in an old mansion at the foot of the Palais des Papes in the heart of Avignon, La Mirande is steeped in secular history. The hotel is named after the famous room in the Palais des Papes, where the Pope’s representatives held receptions for the city’s notables and visiting high-ranking officials. Originally a Cardinal’s Palace in the 14th century, the ruins of La Mirande were restored during the 17th century to create the Hôtel de Vervins and its baroque façade by architect Pierre Mignard, later becoming the Hôtel Pamard between the late 18th and 20th centuries.

Lying just across from the Popes’ Palace, La Mirande has gone through many incarnations. Ruins from the original 14th-century cardinal’s residence were used in restoring the baroque mansion, now reborn as a 26-room hotel in the style of the Age of Enlightenment. You’ll be fascinated by the rich tapestries, indienne fabrics, silk-lined curtains, vintage wallpapers, and Carrara marble, as well as modern touches, such as in-mirror televisions. Take a nightly gastronomic journey in the coffered-ceilinged restaurant; cooking classes teach Provençal secrets with copper pots over the kitchen’s wood-burning stove.
