O'cub Hotel  

Perched in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon overlooking the Rhône, this pet-friendly boutique hotel sits a quick 10-minute hop from Avignon and about 1.2 miles from the Palais des Papes. Walk to local sights like Tour Philippe le Bel, the Avignon Ferris Wheel and Musee Louis Vouland.

A 23-room hideaway with a modern meets 70s vibe and colorful, contemporary décor. Rooms are air-conditioned and soundproofed for serious calm; some have private balconies. The panoramic terrace dishes out views of Avignon, the Palace of the Popes and Mont Ventoux.

Panoramic terrace and solarium, limited onsite parking, concierge and a tour desk to book local excursions. In-room perks include minibar, flat-screen TV and a welcome tray with kettle, tea and coffee. Pets are allowed — bring the pup for riverside mornings and Rhône-view wake-ups.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout, luggage storage and a safe-deposit box at the front desk. Concierge services help arrange transfers and local meetings.

Continental breakfast is served daily from 7:30–10:00 for a fee. Every room includes a welcome tray with kettle, coffee, tea and bottled water for a fuss-free start.
