About this stay
Le Calendal occupies a 17th-century building in the historical centre of Arles, between the Théâtre antique and the Amphitheatre, which means the Roman monuments are literally the neighbours. Rooms carry traditional Provençal decor and offer pleasant views, with free WiFi and air conditioning. Guests can use the adult-only spa facilities of Les Bains du Calendal for free. The hotel restaurant serves light meals through the day, including organic bread sandwiches, salads, quiches, casseroles and gourmet winter dishes, with orange juice, organic fruit juices, smoothies, tea and iced tea to drink. Friendly staff are on hand 24 hours a day. The hotel is a good base for the natural beauty of the Camargue and the Alpilles. Pets are allowed and family rooms are available.
- Adults-only spa
- 17th-century building
- Provençal rooms
- Light organic meals
Our take
Le Calendal is for travellers who want a historic building, a spa and a walkable location in one package, in a three-star hotel. The free adults-only spa access is the headline. It is not a resort: rooms vary in size because of the old walls, and the spa is for adults only, so families should choose a pool hotel if the children want to swim.
- ✓Ask for the quietest spa hours when you book, since the hotel also welcomes families
- ✓Try the light lunch at the hotel restaurant after the spa, with organic juices
- ✓Use Le Calendal as a base for a Camargue morning, then return to the spa
Why we love it
- Free access to the adults-only Les Bains du Calendal
- 17th-century building between theatre and Amphitheatre
- Light organic meals served through the day
- Staff available 24 hours a day
Why guests love itFamilies can stay at Le Calendal, but the spa is reserved for adults, so the stay works best when parents take turns or when the children are old enough to explore the old town. The Théâtre antique and the Amphitheatre are next door, family rooms are available, and the restaurant serves simple light meals, with organic fruit juices and smoothies for the younger ones.
