Arnaud Bernard Hotel, Toulouse

This early 20th-century hotel has an old-fashioned feel; the 19 guest rooms are furnished with different shades of mahogany, satellite TV and a private bath. The restful lounge is a visual feast, with plush furnishings and warm wood tones. The location is convenient: its proximity to Toulouse's places of interest, including la Basilique Saint Sernin, la place du Capitole and le centre ville de Toulouse appeals to tourists, while business people appreciate the short walk to the Palais des Congrès.
