Hotel des Augustins is within the domain of the Chapel of the Convent of the Augustins in Aix-en-Provence built in the fifteenth century and listed as a historic monument. The hotel has kept its authenticity by subtly mixing historical heritage and modernity. Built during the 12th Century, the Couvent des Augustins was gradually transformed until the 17th century. Martin Luther was one of the most notorious hosts of the Convent. Founder of the Protestant Reform movement - he stayed a long time at the Convent after being excommunicated by the Pope. During the French Revolution, the Convent was sold and nearby Augustins Chuch was demolished. The only visible surviving trace is the 15th century bell towerone of the architectural icons of the city of Aix-en-Provence.
