Hotels
We know that planning travel for a destination wedding can feel overwhelming, so we’ve put together the information below to help make booking accommodations as simple as possible. Our recommendations focus on convenience, comfort, and easy access to wedding-day transportation, with options to fit a variety of travel styles and budgets.
Please be aware that hotel rating systems in Carcassonne, France differ from those in the United States. The “star” ratings reflect amenities and services, rather than guest review opinions. The chart below explains what the different star levels typically represent in Carcassonne.
When searching for accommodations, we recommend staying in or near the Cité de Carcassonne (the Carcassonne Castle). This area offers the greatest concentration of hotels, restaurants, and services, making it an easy and enjoyable base for your stay.
We will be providing round-trip transportation on the day of the wedding from the Cité to the ceremony and reception locations, and back again at the end of the evening, so guests staying in this area will not need to arrange their own transportation for the day of the wedding.
We are currently working with Hôtel Mercure Carcassonne la Cité and Hôtel Montmorency to secure room blocks for our guests. Both hotels are located in a prime area less than a five-minute walk from the Cité de Carcassonne (approximately 50 yards).
The room blocks include a variety of accommodations ranging from classic rooms for two guests to larger suites and villas that can accommodate families or groups. Rates for the full stay from Thursday, September 10 through Sunday, September 13 . You should feel free to reach out to the hotel and inquire about availability and/or book your stay. We should be able to connect the room to the room block once the details are finalized. Prices are currently very reasonable.
See below for more information regarding the block-rate hotels and other generally recommended hotels to stay at.
