Atmospherically set in a 14th-century cloister, the manor sits
in a quiet wedge of the old town. Simple, spotless rooms are spacious. Friendly staff, free
parking and breakfasting alfresco in the vaulted cloister round out its offerings.

Hôtel Cézanne €€€

;
40 av Victor Hugo; d €179-249;
)
Aix's hippest hotel is a study in clean lines, with sharp-edged built-in desks and lots
of light. We actually prefer the less expensive 'luxe' rooms, which have the same top-end
linens, but more charm. Unfortunately, staff can be surly. Reserve ahead for free parking.
BOUTIQUE HOTEL
Hôtel Paul €
( 04 42 23 23 89; hotel.paul@wanadoo.fr; 10 av Pasteur; s/d/tr from €51/52/74; )
On the edge of Vieil Aix, this bright, cheery bargain has a sweet garden and a TV lounge.
Fans in summer. Wi-fi €1.50 per 30 minutes. Free motorcycle and bike parking. No credit
cards.

The Saint-Christophe is a proper hotel, with a big lobby and
helpful staff. Rooms nod to art deco in their styling, and have the standard mid-budget
amenities, including good bathrooms; some have terraces, some can sleep four. Parking
(€12) by reservation.
