Fodor's Expert Review Margaret Hôtel Chouleur

Just five minutes from the Arènes and the Maison Carrée, this stunning hotel, which opened in 2022, fills three floors of a graceful private mansion—a classified historical monument—and offers amenities-filled guest rooms with contemporary chic furnishings and state-of-the-art lighting and fixtures. Although you might find it hard to leave the comfort of your room, you will, of course, perhaps to spend time in the peaceful garden terrace sheltered by ancient limestone walls or to sit by the pool or get a treatment in the spa. The cherry on this enticing gâteau is the in-hotel restaurant, Rouge, helmed by Michelin-star chef Georgiana Viou, whose breathtaking cuisine has set the Nîmes's gastronomic scene on fire. It also has a beautiful dining room and outdoor terrace overlooking the pool.
