The renovations are gorgeous. I do miss the Hemingway bar the way it was tho. The Spa is worth a visit and easy to access discreetly from the rooms. Pools are small but we got lucky and had the pool all to ourselves for 30 minutes or so at a time. Lots of great restaurants nearby if you don’t want to eat at the restaurant. Breakfast was okay on site but if your a light eater or in a hurry I’d skip it. Will happily return as we love Nîmes and this is a favorite splurge.
