Best Western Hotel Le Guilhem is a charming hotel situated in a beautifully restored 16th-century residence. Not much is known about the hotel's history, but it's located in the L’Écusson neighborhood, home to the famous Arc de Triomphe and the Musée Fabre. Tourists and history enthusiasts frequent L’Écusson for its charming sidewalk cafes and townhouses with stone walls.

Although the property has existed since the 16th century, renovation projects (with the latest one completed in 2012) ensure that the hotel is up to modern standards.

From the outside, the hotel is reminiscent of the 16th-century private residences with its stone façade and elegant arches and windows. As a result of previous renovation projects, each room has its distinct character, offering panoramic views of Saint-Pierre Cathedral and the neighboring gardens.

Interior-wise, Best Western Hotel Le Guilhem is a fusion of period charm and modern conveniences. While the building is historic, all 35 rooms have contemporary interior design. Each room has its own color palette: from neutral grays, pastel pinks, and bright yellows, and is equipped with a television and minibar.

While the hotel is fairly modern, the rooms are not accessible to guests with limited mobility. However, pets are welcome in the hotel as long as they don't disturb other guests.

Best Western Hotel Le Guilhem may not have an on-site restaurant, but hotel guests can enjoy a delicious breakfast served in the dining room, veranda, or in their rooms. Breakfast options include continental, a la carte, buffet, and gluten-free meals.

The hotel also has a bar where guests can have a drink or two after spending the day out exploring Montpellier.

Outside the hotel, the L’Écusson neighborhood is teeming with local cafes, eateries, and dining establishments worthy trying.
