Hotel Imperator****, Nimes

This is a very good four-star hotel in Nimes. The Art Deco Hotel Imperator provides a great location for the old city centre and the beautiful Fountain Gardens. Past guests include Hemingway, Picasso, Ava Gardner… The 60 bedrooms are spacious and many have views over the hotel’s gardens as does the restaurant which is rated among the best in the city. From the rather grand entrance hall to the smiling staff, this is a well-run and good quality hotel, ideal for four courses and lots of exploring. 30 minutes from the golf courses at Nimes Vacquerolles and Nimes Campagne Restaurant Bar Parking Superb location
