Exterior of the Maison d ' Uzes
La Maison d ’ Uzès Hotel is a five-star Relais & Châteaux housed in a former 17th century mansion at the heart of historic Uzès . From the cobblestones and narrow alleyways of this walled town , the hotel ’ s noble façade betrays a grand heritage as the former home of an aristocratic family . The building has undergone many reincarnations before opening in 2013 as a hotel after a lengthy four-year spell of renovations . Where the honey-coloured stone exterior retains the ambience of a bygone era , to step inside is to step into a whole new world . Interiors of La Maison d ’ Uzès Hotel are fresh and delightful , with white walls providing a blank canvas for bold splashes of colour . You can see this particularly well in the Michelin-starred restaurant , La Table de la Maison d ’ Uzès , where the simple whites are uplifted with cheerful blues and purples . The effect is a mix of contemporary installations and original features . The dining experience here is an innovative interpretation of traditional French cuisine , as crafted by the chef depending on what is fresh and ripe on the local market stalls . Thus , seasonal vegetables , herbs and sun-ripened fruits are the staples of the menu , as complemented by regional wines . The 10 boutique guestrooms and suites are accessed off an exquisitely crafted stone staircase that winds its way around the centre of the building . Each room is thoughtfully designed and beautiful views over the Old Town ’ s ancient rooftops add a touch of romance . After a day wandering the alleyways , the refined Le Spa is the destination for relaxation , located in the ambient Roman vaults .
