Cézanne
Contemporary Provençal boutique — warm, residential, and quietly elegant without being precious about it
Book the Deluxe room (22-27 m²) rather than the Classic (16-18 m²) if you plan to spend time in the room — the size difference is worth it
Why It Matters
One of the most well-located hotels in central Aix, with a century of history and a design sensibility that makes it stand out from generic French four-stars. The honesty bar concept — guests pour their own drinks and keep a tab — is genuinely rare. Selected by both Tablet Hotels and Les Collectionneurs.
The Boutique Hôtel Cézanne has been part of Aix-en-Provence for a century — a former family manor on a quiet side street, converted to a hotel in 1961 and sitting five minutes' walk from the Cours Mirabeau. Designer Charles Montemarco gave it a quietly confident look: Provençal ochers and linens with a contemporary edge, equally far from avant-garde design-hotel territory as it is from antique French inn territory. No pool, no dinner, no fuss — but 55 well-considered rooms, a legendary Provençal breakfast, and a self-serve honesty bar that runs on trust.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Classic Room
From EUR135 / nightThe entry-level room at Cézanne is compact but not cramped. Queen bed dressed in Egyptian cotton, walls hung with delicate jute, hardwood furniture, and Le Monde Sauvage natural fabrics. Everything pays quiet homage to the painter. Shower (no tub), hair dryer, TV, phone, safe, and a courtesy tray with kettle. Small — some guests do note it — but well-finished.
Queen · 17 sqmDeluxe Room
From EUR170 / nightAt 22-27 m², this is where the hotel really opens up. King bed, Egyptian cotton sheets, carved wooden panels, seersucker cotton bathrobes, and reading nooks make it feel more like a proper pied-à-terre than a hotel room. Innovative decorative touches throughout. Worth the upgrade over the Classic.
King · 24 sqmJunior Suite
From EUR180 / nightThe suites start at 27 m² and open into a proper living space — large, airy, and the closest thing to an apartment in the building. King bed, Egyptian cotton, seersucker bathrobes and slippers included. Extra bed available on request at no charge. Views out to the terrace and plane tree canopy. Works well for couples wanting extra space or families.
King · 27 sqmSuperior Room
From EUR155 / nightMore space and a little more light than the Classic. Same Provençal color palette and Le Monde Sauvage linens, but with a bigger footprint and — in some rooms — artwork on the walls directly referencing Cézanne's paintings. Some have a small private patio.
