Toulouse, France
The 5 best boutique and luxury hotels in Toulouse, France
Toulouse’s most chic boutique hotels
Toulouse, in the heart of France’s Occitanie region, is a city that draws you in slowly. There’s a laid-back confidence to this southern French city, from its rose-hued facades and sun-dappled squares to its café culture and contemporary art scene. While it’s often overshadowed by the Riviera or Paris, Toulouse has a rhythm of its own and its hotel scene reflects that beautifully. This is a city where boutique stays feel personal and historic buildings are reimagined with creativity. Whether you’re here for the food, the space heritage or simply the atmosphere, we highlight the stays that promise the kind of detail and character that make a trip unforgettable.

Overview: Toulouse’s top boutique and luxury hotels
01
La Cour des Consuls Hotel & Spa
Set in a pair of 18th-century private mansions in the Carmes quarter, La Cour des Consuls Hotel & Spa doesn’t just nod to the past – it inhabits it. Inside, architect Chantal Peyrat balances period details – ornate fireplaces, marble staircases, family coats of arms – with contemporary velvet upholstery and sculptural lighting. On-site, you can enjoy a full spa with four sunlit massage cabins, a hammam, a fitness area and signature treatments using Graine de Pastel and Gemology products. Dining at Le Cénacle showcases refined interpretations of Southwest French classics, while Bar Le 46’s violet‑inspired cocktails pay homage to the city’s emblem.

Boutique Hotel Soclo
Set along the Boulevard Lazare Carnot, Boutique Hotel Soclo transformed a 19th-century townhouse into a boutique hotel that wears its quirks with pride. Mismatched vintage furniture, colourful floral wallpapers, daring paint choices and a garden terrace that channels south-of-France ease. The rooms evoke cosy British interiors – velvet headboards, record players and moody wallpapers set against Toulouse‑pink brick accents and local artworks. Downstairs, there’s a bar that doubles as Toulouse’s friendliest living room, with cocktails, coffee and communal tables. In the garden, we love the vaulted cedar tree shading a heated seasonal pool, perfect for a midday cool‑off.

Sangha Toulouse Hôtel Bar & Rooftop
On La Cartoucherie’s transformed eco‑district, Sangha Toulouse Hôtel Bar & Rooftop stands as a 3‑star zen retreat, born from architect Sébastien Caron’s vision of pared‑back Asian styling and mindful living. Rooms range from pared-back singles to earthy-toned suites with private terraces. We love that each floor has a little self‑serve tea station – grab a cup and head to L’Autre Lieu, a 350 square metre wellness hub where yoga, Ayurveda and massages await. But the real star of the show is the rooftop bar on the 8th floor – a Zen garden framing panoramic Toulouse vistas, where cocktails blend Asian‑inspired flavours and the city’s skyline lights up at sunset.

Boutique Hotel Villa du Taur
At the foot of UNESCO‑listed Saint‑Sernin Basilica, Boutique Hotel Villa du Taur invites you into a 19th‑century red‑brick hôtel particulier reborn in 2017 as a street‑art gallery with 17 bespoke rooms. The 17 rooms are anything but generic – some feature illuminated headboards by local artists, others have freestanding tubs and peek-a-boo views of ancient church towers. The bistronomic restaurant Sixty‑Two, led by Chef Stéphane Mazières, turns seasonal Southwest produce into inventive plates in an art‑filled dining room. If you want character without compromise and a sense of Toulouse that extends beyond the usual postcard image, Boutique Hotel Villa du Taur is the place for you.

Hotel du Grand Balcon
Located right on the corner of Rue des Lois, the elegant neoclassical building in which Hotel du Grand Balcon is housed was erected in 1856 and later designated a monument historique. It’s famously connected to the golden age of Aéropostale – aviators like Jean Mermoz stayed here, while Antoine de Saint‑Exupéry occupied the iconic room 32 – offering those sweeping views over Place du Capitole from its grand balcony. Inside, you’ll find interiors by Jean‑Philippe Nuel blending 1930s glamour with adventurous and modern touches – think deep rich tones, vintage aviation art and luxe furniture. We love the Saint‑Exupéry Suite – an homage to the author-pilot himself, with retro‑styled detailing and period charm. What really stands out is the location – step outside and you’re in the very heart of the city, with cafés, galleries and boulangeries all around.
