Hotel Imperator is a handsome Art Deco property sitting beside the beautiful Fountain Gardens in the heart of Nîmes — an address with genuine historical pedigree, having welcomed guests including Hemingway and Picasso over the years. The 60 bedrooms are spacious, many overlooking the hotel’s own gardens, and the restaurant — which enjoys an excellent reputation within the city — shares the same garden views.
The old city of Nîmes is on the doorstep, putting some of the finest Roman architecture in France within easy walking distance. For a Nîmes golf break, the courses at Nîmes Vacquerolles and Nîmes Campagne are both within thirty minutes’ drive. A well-run hotel with a genuinely distinguished location, the Imperator provides a refined base for combining golf with serious cultural exploration in this underrated corner of Languedoc.
