Das Eigentum — Inter-Hotel Mireille
Stepping into the Inter-Hotel Mireille feels like returning to a calm, bourgeois Arlésienne townhouse. The lobby is tiled in cool cream and terracotta, with a small honesty bar and a spiral staircase that suggests old-world efficiency rather than glamour. It's a straightforward three-star: clean, quiet, and reliable, a 10-minute walk to the Roman arena and a 20-minute saunter to the Van Gogh foundation. Best suited to travellers who want a solid base without paying for a hotel's restaurant or pool.
Chroniken von Arles
Arles was founded by the Greeks in the 6th century BC, but its golden age came under the Romans, who built the arena and theatre that still dominate the cityscape. In the Middle Ages it became a capital of the Kingdom of Arles, and its Romanesque church of Saint-Trophime is a Unesco world heritage site. The 19th-century canals and railways brought industry, but also the painter Vincent van Gogh, who produced over 300 works here in 1888–89. Today Arles is a sun-bleached stage of Roman stone, Provençal markets, and a thriving photography festival.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Arles-Guide →Die besten Monate
April and May — mild 18–23°C, almond trees in blossom, pre-summer crowds. September also excellent: harvest fairs, still warm (25°C), Luberon day-trippers gone.
Peak / Festival Surge
July–August, peaking with the Rencontres d'Arles photography festival (July–September); hotel prices double from €100 to €200+. Arles also hosts the Feria du Riz in late August with bull-running and concerts. Book months ahead.
Budget Schulter Saison
March and October — 15–20°C, thin crowds, rooms 30–50% cheaper than peak. The mistral wind can still blow hard in March, but the light is sharp and clear.
Wetter & Verpackung
Arles has a strong, sudden wind called the mistral, which can drop temperatures by 10°C in minutes. Pack a light windproof jacket even in July, and always bring a reusable water bottle — the mistral dehydrates fast.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Inter-Hotel Mireille, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first floor (European first, i.e. above ground) at the rear of the building, away from Place St Pierre. This avoids street noise and the lift shaft, and gives you access via stairs if the lift is slow.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms overlooking the square: they get direct street noise from the café terraces and passing traffic. Also avoid any room next to the lift on any floor — the mechanism can be audible at night in a 3-star property.
Best views
The address is 2 Place St Pierre, a small square in the historic centre. Front-facing rooms on the first floor will look onto the square and its plane trees — a pleasant but lively view. Rear rooms overlook a quieter courtyard or neighbouring rooftops, which is better for sleep.
Quietest floors
First and second floors at the back of the hotel. These are high enough to escape street-level clatter but low enough to avoid rooftop equipment hum.
🔊 Noise notes
Place St Pierre is a pedestrianised square with three café-restaurants that stay busy until late evening. Morning deliveries arrive around 7-8am. The hotel has no soundproofing upgrades noted for a 3-star property, so street-facing rooms will hear chatter, chair scraping, and occasional bin collections.
Insider tips
1. Park at the public car park 'Parking des Lices' (5 min walk) — the hotel has no private parking, but they offer a discount voucher at reception. 2. Check in after 3pm to avoid waiting; the reception desk is small and can get backed up with day-trippers.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
