Hotels
1 Jeanne d'Arc 17 av de-Gaulle 
05.55.77.67.77 
www.hoteljeannedarc-limoges.fr The elegant entrance, tastefully decorated rooms and grand breakfast hall make this a more appealing option than the Mercure. Rooms with showers are on the small side, however – better to upgrade to one with a bath, and overlooking the interior courtyard. Price: €66-80
2 Mercure place de la République 05.55.34.65.30 www.mercure.com The only hotel in the old quarter, this is a surprisingly unattractive, concrete affair, though the rooms are a decent size and boast three-star facilities, including room-service and wi-fi. More expensive rooms have a balcony looking over the square. Price: €81-100
3 Nos Rev 16 rue du Général-du-Bessol 05.55.77.41.43 www.hotelnos-rev.com Contemporary decor, with strong reds and lime greens, make this tiny, recently renovated hotel stand out as a mid-range option. It's set back off a quietish street near the station. Price: €51-65
4 
De la Paix 25 place Jourdan 05.55.34.36.00 
05.55.32.37.06 A wonderful old hotel, doubling as a museum of gramophones, which decorate the breakfast room in all shapes and sizes. Bedrooms are not quite so characterful, but large and nicely furnished for the price. The cheapest have no en-suite toilet. Price: €41–65
5 De Paris 5 cours Vergniaud 05.55.77.56.96 
hoteldeparis4@orange.fr You'll need to book ahead for this well-located budget hotel, where good size rooms – the cheapest with washbasin only – make up for the rather worn furnishings. Price: Up to €40
