History
Hôtel de la Cité opened in 1907 as a purpose-built neo-Gothic hotel inside the Medieval City of Carcassonne, beside the Château Comtal and within the 12th- and 13th-century ramparts. Carcassonne grew from Roman foundations into a Trencavel stronghold, later restored in the nineteenth century under Eugène Viollet-le-Duc. Guests sleep inside the fortified citadel rather than visiting it from outside. La Barbacane, the Michelin-starred restaurant, looks onto the walls; the house holds 46 rooms and 13 suites, a park, and a pool.
