Built in the 13th century, the Couvent Royal hotel is a real treasure. Situated at the heart of Provence, it is the finest Gothic building in the South East of France. It has 67 rooms in the former Dominican Fathers? quarters, a restaurant in the vaulted Salle Capitulaire or in the Cloister in the summer, a wonderful garden, large areas for events, and more. During your stay, you will realise that the Couvent Royal is a monument in its own right. The Basilica and the Royal Convent of Saint Maximin la Sainte Baume were founded in 1295 by Charles II of Anjou, King of Sicily and Count of Provence, to house the relics of Sainte Marie-Madeleine. The Couvent Royal is next to the Basilica and built around a cloister. It was used by the Dominican order from its origins until 1959.
