About this stay
This hotel occupies two beautifully preserved mansions from the 17th and 18th centuries, placing guests right in the pedestrian zone of Nîmes' historic centre. The Roman Amphitheatre and the Maison Carrée temple are practically on the doorstep, making it an ideal base for exploring the city's ancient heritage. Rooms are uniquely and elegantly decorated, each with a private bathroom. Some rooms offer charming views of the Place du Marché, where a fountain depicts Nîmes' iconic palm tree and crocodile symbols. The surrounding area is bustling with restaurants, cafés, and shops, all within easy walking distance, and the train station is a short stroll away.

Our take
Hôtel l'Amphithéâtre is the address I would pick to see Roman Nîmes on foot. Set in two 17th and 18th-century mansions in the pedestrian centre, it is steps from the Roman Amphitheatre and the Maison Carrée temple. Rooms are individually decorated, and some have views of the Place du Marché. The three-star hotel scores 8.6 out of 10 over 838 reviews. My advice: ask for a room overlooking the square, and leave the car outside the pedestrian zone.
- ✓Explore the Roman Amphitheatre early in the morning to avoid crowds
- ✓Dine at one of the many local restaurants within walking distance
- ✓Take a leisurely stroll to the Maison Carrée temple, just a stone's throw away

Why guests love itHôtel l'Amphithéâtre occupies two mansions from the 17th and 18th centuries in the pedestrian centre of Nîmes, a few steps from the Roman Amphitheatre and the Maison Carrée. For families, I like that children can walk to both Roman monuments without crossing busy roads. Rooms are individually decorated, and some look over the Place du Marché, which I would request. Guests rate this three-star hotel 8.6 across 838 reviews.
