Where to Stay in Montpellier

The Travel Pages recommends where to stay in Montpellier, from budget but good 2-star accommodation to grand historic hotels and luxury choices. 

Hôtel du Parc

8 rue Achille-Bège
04 67 41 16 49

€

This lovely old 2-star hotel is good if you’re driving into Montpellier as it has its own car park and is north of the city centre, but you can easily walk into the heart of the city in 10-15 minutes, or there’s a tram. It’s an 18th-century Languedoc mansion that once belonged to the Earl Vivier de Châtelard, but the 16 rooms are modern, stylish, and all have air-conditioning and either a balcony or a terrace.

Mercure Montpellier Centre Comédie

218 rue Bastion Ventadour
04 67 99 89 89

€-€€

Only a few minutes’ walk from the place de la Comédie, and on the edge of the Antigone district, the 3-star Mercure is a reliable and comfortable modern choice. There are 120 rooms, a bar, a brasserie and a pleasant breakfast patio. The hotel does have more of a stylish look to it than similar business hotels, and the staff are very friendly, perhaps because they’re lucky enough to live in Montpellier.

Hôtel le Guilhem

18 rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau
04 67 52 90 90

€€

The Guilhem is wonderfully positioned in a renovated 16th-century mansion in a quiet traffic-free street right in the heart of the medieval city centre. This 3-star Best Western hotel has 36 incredibly comfortable air-conditioned rooms, all of them different, all of them plush. There’s also a dining room and a garden for breakfast when it’s fine. Some rooms have lovely views over this old part of the city.

Grand Hôtel du Midi

22 boulevard Victor Hugo
04 67 92 69 61

€€

Right on the place de la Comédie in the heart of town, no hotel has a better location – though thankfully the 44 rooms are all soundproofed. It’s a 4-star hotel in the grand hotel style, but with luxurious modern rooms with wifi, satellite TV, mini-bar and so on. The three Deluxe rooms all have views of the Place de la Comédie.

Pullman Montpellier Centre

1 rue des Pertuisanes
04 67 99 72 72

€€

Right in the futuristic Antigone district, the Pullman has 86 rooms and two suites, all with a colour design that manages to combine the Mediterranean with a sober business feel. There’s free wifi throughout, a fitness room and a heated swimming pool overlooked by Le Vertigo restaurant serving a Mediterranean menu and with an excellent wine cellar.

Hotel Richer de Belleval

11, Avenue Saint-Lazare
04 99 58 38 38

€€-€€€

There are thirteen rooms and two suites (one with a private pool) in this Relais & Chateaux hotel that’s some way north of the city centre. It’s chicer than chic, designed by Bruno Borrione, who worked for Philippe Starck – and it shows. It has its own swimming pool and a restaurant that is acclaimed in its own right, focussing on the cuisine of Languedoc, Le Jardin des Sens.
