MAISON ALBAR - L'IMPERATOR

France, Occitanie, Nîmes
Located in the heart of Nîmes, steps from the Jardin de la Fontaine and the Maison Carrée, Maison Albar - L'Imperator is the landmark hotel of the Gard's capital city. A 5-star property, member of The Leading Hotels of the World and awarded a Michelin Key since 2024, the hotel offers 54 rooms and suites as well as 7 private maisons within a fully renovated Art Deco building. The patina of the place, its noble materials : ceramic, straw, wrought iron and its centuries-old ginkgo trees in the largest private garden in Nîmes make for a setting unlike any other in the region.

Since its historic opening, L'Imperator has welcomed Ava Gardner, Ernest Hemingway and El Cordobès. This exceptional heritage now meets a world-class contemporary offering: two restaurants signed by Pierre Gagnaire : DUENDE for fine dining and Brasserie L'Impé for convivial dining, a 350 m² Codage spa with indoor pool, an outdoor pool and the Hemingway Bar.

Ideally located to explore the Arènes de Nîmes, the Pont du Gard and the Camargue, L'Imperator is the address of choice for travellers seeking a distinctive stay in the South of France, for families, féria enthusiasts and organisers of prestigious corporate events.
