Adonis Arc Hotel Aix

The four categories include single, double, twin and triple rooms, all with a private bathroom. Each room has air conditioning, and a range of shared amenities make your stay easier: a TV, hairdryer, toilet and wardrobe or closet. Room sizes range from 13 to 17 m²; the triple room is the largest and accommodates three people, while the single room is for one.

The main differences are in the layout and outlook. The triple room has a balcony, a bathtub and views of the garden or swimming pool. The double room also offers views of the outdoor areas. The twin room has two single beds, while the single room is arranged around one single bed. Amenities vary by category: some rooms include an iron or a wake-up service. Each option is suited to a different group of travellers.

The outdoor areas include a terrace, a garden and an outdoor swimming pool, with sun loungers for enjoying the sunshine. The golf course is less than 3 km away. Indoors, a shared lounge with a TV and board games or puzzles provide places to relax. A lift serves the floors, and some facilities cater for guests with reduced mobility.

The reception is open 24 hours a day and offers services including luggage storage, private check-in and check-out, and express check-in and check-out. Daily housekeeping and a wake-up service are also available. The on-site café and bar serve drinks; fruit and wine or champagne are also available. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel. Indoor private parking is available for €8 per day. Pets are allowed, possibly for an additional charge.

The Val Saint-André district lies in the south-east of Aix-en-Provence, in an urban setting characterised by green spaces and local amenities. The Val Saint-André market and Saint-André Church are local landmarks, while several parks offer a break from the shopping streets in the centre. Aix is known for its Provençal heritage, fountains, honey-coloured façades and squares where people gather on terraces. The area suits travellers who want to stay in a residential district while keeping the city’s attractions within easy reach by car.

Parc de la Torse, popular for its paths and shaded areas, is about 1 km away. Musée Granet, which features fine art among other collections, is 1.9 km away; the historic centre is also home to Cours Mirabeau, fountains and old streets. Atelier de Cézanne, dedicated to the Aix-born painter, is 3.3 km away. Aix-en-Provence railway station is 2.3 km away and Marseille-Provence Airport is 21 km away. The A8 motorway, easily reached by car, connects Aix with Marseille and Nice, among other places.

Spring and autumn are pleasant times to explore the city on foot and visit its museums without the summer heat. In summer, plan outdoor visits for the morning, then spend the hottest hours in museums or take a break in the shade. You could start the day at the fountains and Cours Mirabeau, continue to Musée Granet or Atelier de Cézanne, and finish in a park. The surrounding area also offers the chance to discover Provençal landscapes and Montagne Sainte-Victoire, associated with Cézanne’s work.
