Best Western Les Capitouls

The Best Western Les Capitouls is a four-star hotel at 29 Allées Jean Jaurès in Toulouse, in the Occitanie region of France. The Allées Jean-Jaurès is the broad boulevard running between the Place Wilson district and the Matabiau railway station area, and the hotel sits a short walk from the Jean-Jaurès metro interchange, where lines A and B meet. That position puts the Capitole, the Place Wilson cafés and the shops of Rue d'Alsace-Lorraine within an easy walk, while the Canal du Midi and the railway station are also nearby. The name refers to the capitouls, the historic magistrates who governed medieval Toulouse from the Capitole, a link to the city's history that gives the hotel a local identity within the Best Western network. The property offers double rooms, superior rooms and suites, all equipped with air conditioning and wifi. Rates generally range from about EUR 120 to EUR 260 per night, depending on season, room category and events in the city. A dedicated restaurant, spa or pool is not confirmed among the listed amenities, so guests should expect to dine in the many brasseries and restaurants of the surrounding streets, and should check with the hotel about breakfast service and any fitness facilities. The service character is that of a mid-sized, dependable city hotel: practical for rail travellers, business visitors with meetings in the centre, and leisure guests who want a convenient base without paying the premium of a Capitole-square address. Toulouse is known as the Pink City because of its terracotta brick buildings, and the hotel is well placed for walking to the Basilique Saint-Sernin, the Jacobins convent and the Garonne embankment. Day trips by train to Albi, Carcassonne or Montauban can be started from Matabiau station, which is within walking distance, making the hotel a sensible base for exploring the wider region as well as the city.
