About this stay
Le Relais de Poste is a former 18th-century coaching inn in the centre of Arles, so the building itself is part of the town's travel history. The main sites of the old city are a three-minute walk away, and the pedestrian streets, museums and cultural attractions sit on the doorstep. Guestrooms are furnished in a Provençal style and come with a TV and a direct-dial phone, and some have air conditioning, so ask about the room category in summer. Free WiFi is available throughout, and the hotel has a restaurant and a terrace. Pets are allowed. Walking out of the door puts you among the monuments that earned Arles its UNESCO listing. Rooms include a flat-screen TV, and some categories add a minibar and a city view.

- Pets allowed
Our take
Le Relais de Poste is for travellers who want a genuine old building in the middle of the historic centre, with Provençal furnishing and a quick walk to every major site. Pets and families are accepted. It is less suited to anyone who needs air conditioning guaranteed in July, since only some rooms have it, or who wants a pool or a spa on site.
- ✓Ask for an air-conditioned room if you travel in July or August, since only some have it
- ✓Walk the three minutes to the main sites early, before the summer crowds arrive
- ✓Check which room category has the terrace view when you book a longer stay
Why we love it
- Former 18th-century coaching inn
- Main historic sites three minutes on foot
- Rooms furnished in Provençal style
- Pets allowed in a central historic hotel
Why guests love itA family stay in an old coaching inn gives children something to look at: stone, Provençal furnishing and a short walk to the Roman monuments. The three-minute distance to the main sites means short outings and quick returns for naps. Family rooms are available, though not every room has air conditioning, so July travellers should ask. There is no pool, so the town itself is the entertainment.
