La Mirande
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
La Mirande is worth booking if you want a 5-star stay right next to the Palais des Papes and the price is not the deciding factor. Everyone else gets nearly the same location from our Best Value pick for about a tenth of the cost.

This is our Luxury pick in Avignon. It holds an official 5-star rating and tied for the top guest score among the 9 hotels we compared: 8.8 out of 10. Note that the score rests on 176 reviews, a much smaller base than our other two picks.
It suits couples marking an occasion, food-focused travellers who want an on-site restaurant, and anyone for whom service matters most. Pets are flagged as accepted and family rooms are listed.
Skip it if you are watching costs. At €680.26 a night in our sample, it was almost ten times the price of our Best Value pick, which sits on the same few streets.
Location and getting around
The address is 4, Place de l'Amirande. Guests describe it as right next to the Palais des Papes, with attractions in walking distance. The location score is 9.7.
By our straight-line estimates, the Palais des Papes is about 1 minute on foot (0.1 km), Avignon Cathedral about 3 minutes (0.2 km) and the Musée du Petit Palais about 4 minutes (0.3 km). These are estimates, not measured routes.
Parking is not listed in our data. If you drive, ask the hotel about access and parking in advance.
What guests say
Guests praise the setting beside the palace and a professional, friendly team that gives helpful advice and attentive service.
The restaurant draws both praise and criticism. Food quality and the breakfast spread are rated highly, but guests mention slow service and tables that are hard to book. Breakfast styles listed are continental, American and buffet.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, for 2 adults in one room, were €680.26 a night, about €1,361 for both nights. The Avignon sample median was €86.52.
Our Budget pick, Hôtel Central, cost €62.42 with 8.0, and our Best Value pick, Kyriad Avignon - Palais des Papes, cost €70.12 with 8.4. La Mirande scores higher than both, but the gap in price is far larger than the gap in score. You are paying for 5-star service and the restaurant, not for a better address.
Listed facilities include a restaurant, family rooms, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a garden and a terrace. These are reference figures, not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.

Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. At this price, read the cancellation policy carefully and check what your rate includes.
If dining at the restaurant is part of the plan, book a table early, as guests say it can be hard to get one. Confirm pet conditions and parking with the hotel.
