Hotel La Prison - Beziers

3-star Historical Hotel in Beziers - Sleep in a Converted Prison Cell

A Stay Inside History

Hotel La Prison Beziers occupies a converted 19th-century prison, where guestrooms are former cells measuring roughly 9 m2. Each cell retains original architectural details such as heavy metal doors and tiled floors. The adjacent cell was transformed into a private bathroom, so each room gets a shower, toilet, and sink without sacrificing the prison layout.

On-Site Amenities

The hotel has a seasonal outdoor swimming pool with panoramic views over the Orb Valley and Béziers rooftops. A fitness room with basic equipment is open to all guests, and a sun terrace offers loungers. Inside, a bar and the bistro restaurant are available, with a wine cellar for private dinners.

Room Options

Accommodations range from Standard Double Rooms (former single cells) to larger Deluxe Double Rooms and a Two-Bedroom Suite. Standard rooms are compact but include a double bed, ceiling fan, and a window; some have views of the cathedral. The Two-Bedroom Suite offers more space and additional privacy, sleeping up to four guests.

Dining at La Prison

Each morning, a continental breakfast buffet is served in the bistro, offering breads, pastries, cheese, scrambled eggs, bacon, and local honey. The bistro also serves French cuisine for lunch and dinner on a terrace with valley views. Note that the bistro and bar are closed Sunday evening through Tuesday evening; on those nights guests dine at nearby restaurants.
