Alternative accomodation : Escape into a Former Prison Cell ! ~

Stay in the heart of Béziers in this building steeped in history: a former 19th-century prison, in operation from 1867 to 2009, now transformed into an unusual 3-star hotel. A subtle balance between history and modernity, simplicity and comfort. The prison becomes a cocoon with a unique view over the Orb Valley, a panoramic pool, and the gateway to a cruise on the Canal du Midi. Photo credit: Diego Parlange – 37.studio

On your stay agenda

An unusual stay in a unique setting!

Your cell

Treat yourself to a unique break in our authentic “cell” rooms, where past and present blend seamlessly. Here, no TV or air conditioning, but a 4-star bed for ultimate comfort. Some rooms offer breathtaking views of the city and its surroundings, adding a magical touch to your stay! All rooms are equipped with Wi-Fi, safe, desk, shower, hairdryer, and telephone.

A hotel-restaurant with panoramic views

Enjoy a 180-degree view over the Orb Valley from the restaurant, which serves simple yet high-quality cuisine, made with fresh, seasonal, and local products, in an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere. A buffet breakfast with fresh products is served at the hotel restaurant to start your day in the best possible way.

Relaxation and well-being

Take advantage of a 24/7 fitness area. From May to October, dive into the heated pool, offering stunning views of the Pyrenees and a peaceful setting in the heart of the hotel’s historic architecture.

An escape through history during your cruise

Sail along the Canal du Midi in Béziers for a cruise where you will discover: the Orb Lock, the Orb Aqueduct with panoramic views of the imposing Saint-Nazaire Cathedral, and the 9 Locks of Fonseranes (a UNESCO World Heritage site, a gift from Pierre-Paul Riquet to his hometown Béziers, and the only construction of its kind in the history of inland waterway transport).

Explore the surroundings

Béziers and its surroundings offer must-see sites such as the Plateau des Poètes, Saint-Nazaire Cathedral, Puisserguier Castle, and the Oppidum of Ensérune. Also not to be missed: an unusual and eco-friendly rail-bike ride, the town of Pézenas dear to Molière, and of course the Mediterranean Sea with its beaches.

The little extras we love

  • An unusual accommodation blending history and contemporary comfort.
  • An exceptional setting, peaceful and rejuvenating, right in the heart of the city.
  • A panoramic view overlooking the Orb Valley from the restaurant and the pool.
