About this stay
Mercure Arles Centre Arènes puts a rooftop swimming pool and a sun terrace on a central address, an eight-minute walk from the Amphitheatre and 500 metres from the Église des Carmes-Déchaussés. Rooms are air-conditioned and soundproofed, with private bathrooms, minibars and sofa beds, and family rooms are available. A traditional restaurant serves French cuisine at dinner, and breakfast includes local specialities and fresh pastries. There is also a bar, a fitness room, a lounge and free WiFi, and a 24-hour front desk with full-day security. Pets are allowed. The rooftop is the signature feature, giving a cool dip after a day on Roman cobbles in the Provençal summer. Facilities for disabled guests and a shuttle service are also listed.

Our take
Mercure is a dependable central hotel for families, couples and anyone who wants a rooftop pool within walking distance of the Arènes. Soundproofing and air conditioning matter in July. It is a chain hotel rather than a historic house, so travellers hunting for Provençal character should look at the old mansions in the centre. Book early for summer weekends.
- ✓Swim on the rooftop late in the afternoon, when the Provençal sun has softened
- ✓Ask for a family room with a sofa bed when you book, as availability varies
- ✓Dine at the restaurant on arrival night, then explore the old centre the next day
Why we love it
- Rooftop swimming pool and sun terrace
- Eight-minute walk to the Roman Amphitheatre
- Soundproofed, air-conditioned rooms with minibars
- Family rooms and pets allowed
Why guests love itFamilies get a rare mix here: a rooftop pool for the children and a location within an eight-minute walk of the Amphitheatre. Sofa beds and family rooms ease the space question, soundproofing helps young sleepers on busy nights, and breakfast serves local specialities alongside pastries. The rooftop is the evening plan, and the old centre is the daytime one, which keeps everyone moving without a car.
