Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel Les Esclargies

This contemporary hotel is only a 10- to 15-minute walk from Rocamadour's major sites but feels a world apart from the tourist-clogged town. Tucked away in the midst of a large, leafy park (with a lovely pool) between the upper and lower levels of the town, the hotel's airy, tastefully appointed rooms offer comfortable beds, large baths, and pretty park views. The nearby lift and cable car can take you up to the upper town or down to the cathedral, or you can take the conveniently located path for an invigorating walk and some stunning views of the Rocamadour cliffs.
