History
The Grand Hôtel Roi René takes its name from René I of Anjou, the 15th-century Count of Provence and King of Naples whose court gave Aix-en-Provence its cultured golden age. A hotel by this name has welcomed travellers in the city since 1929, and in 1948 Winston Churchill famously took up residence here while working on his war memoirs.
The present building, on the tree-lined boulevard du Roi René at the edge of Aix's historic centre, was reconstructed in 1990 and later refreshed in a 2007 renovation. Now part of Accor's MGallery collection, the hotel offers 134 rooms across a Provençal-styled property whose branding evokes the elegance of a noble Aixois residence.
