Hotel de Cambis

Avignon’s newest and coolest address is a skip away from the historic center, and an out-and-out charmer with unusually helpful staff. Creating by interlinking several grand apartments, it was designed by a minimalist architect high on color and Côtes du Rhône. The hotel hosts a wine bar with only-seen-here vintages, plus a breakfast salon serves local pastries and cheeses. A reading room is crammed historical tomes and art books. Crisp linen meets exquisite taste in the guest rooms, some with balconies with city views.
