Our take
Bateau Hôtel à quai Le Chardonnay is the Avignon address I would choose for a stay that feels different: a docked boat with air-conditioned rooms, river or city views, a sun terrace and a fitness room. A guest score of 8.6 across about 890 reviews backs it up. The walk to the Papal Palace is short but not central, so I would book it for atmosphere rather than for the busiest streets.
- ✓Choose a room with a river view for the most scenic experience of your stay.
- ✓Take advantage of the sun terrace in the afternoon for a relaxing moment by the water.
- ✓Walk to the Papal Palace and explore Avignon's historic centre from this convenient base.

Why guests love itI would recommend Le Chardonnay to families who want something different from a standard hotel. It is a boat hotel docked in Avignon, with air-conditioned rooms, private bathrooms and views of the city or the river. The sun terrace and fitness room are useful extras, and several breakfast options are served. The Papal Palace is a short walk away, which makes sightseeing easy with children who enjoy the novelty of sleeping on the water.
