We will be in Aix for a wedding. We will stay at the ApartAdagio before the wedding and want a central located hotel with an elevator for 4 nights after the hotel. Does the Hotel Augustins have an elevator? Also thinking of the Roi Rene or the Aquabella. Any thoughts on these hotels?
Would also like to take a group day trip to Montpelier or Cassis. Any thoughts on day trips without a car?

According to the RS Provence guidebook, the three-floor Hotel des Augustins has an "elevator to second floor only." It seems like it might have ground-floor rooms too. Maybe you should ask the hotel.

Thank you for your reply. That is good news they have an elevator to the 2nd floor.
I reached out to the hotel, but no reply yet.
Looks like a great location and lovely rooms. Thanks again!

Have you looked at the this one? https://lesquatredauphins.fr/ I stayed here in October and was very satisfied. It is close to the Cours Mirabeau in a quiet neighborhood. There was no lift, but I am in my late 70s and they helped me by carrying my bag up to the 1st floor (from the ground floor.) I didn't eat their breakfast, but it looked good and the dining room was lovely. The staff was very friendly and helpful. You will love Aix. They have a very good Tourist Info Ctr which was very helpful.

I realized you did after I posted and I apologize, but didn't delete as I figured it never hurts to have options. Have a wonderful trip.

When staying in Aix we went to the TI and signed up for a tour to Cassis and ended up being the only people along with the driver in a van.
He took us up to the top of the cliffs for a beautiful overlook of the town and then down to the waterfront so we could spend the day there. He then picked us up at 6 PM. No car needed.

We have a reservation for the Hotel des Augustins in September. I wrote directly to the hotel and requested a room that was serviced by an elevator.
They replied that it "is possible to stay on a floor with an elevator." That was good enough for me. But if not, we're capable of going up one floor with our bags.

We liked the Boutique Hotel Cezanne that has rooms with elevator access except for 2 suites on the top floor. This hotel is very near the train station and just 3 blocks from Cours Mirabeau.
