Hôtel de la Cité
The best hotel in Carcassonne was originally a palace for the ruling bishops before it was turned into a hotel in 1909. This is where you can escape the crowds, safe behind an enclosed courtyard in the old city. The best bedrooms are straight out of a fairy tale book with paneled walls, wooden or tiled floors; some have friezes running around the top of the walls while others have fireplaces or a four-poster bed. Many rooms look out onto the ramparts or the garden. The attached bakery has excellent croissants, coffee, and picnic items you can grab before a day of sightseeing. The hotel is renowned for its restaurant, La Barbacane. Take your breakfast on the terrace looking down at the city below you.
