Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Montpellier

13 stays · 10 aparthotels and 3 serviced apartments · from €73/night

Montpellier is a university city in southern France, and aparthotels and serviced apartments suit it for several reasons. Students, researchers and professionals arrive for stays of weeks or months, families use it as a base for the coast, and visitors from the north often want a flat with a kitchen to make the most of the local markets. A separate bedroom and a place to cook also make a longer stay cheaper in effort than repeated restaurant meals.

Where to stay in Montpellier

Écusson (old town)

  • first-time visitors
  • walking
  • dining

The Écusson is the medieval core, shaped roughly like a shield according to Wikipedia, with narrow streets and mansions from the 16th to 18th centuries. Place de la Comédie, with the Opéra Comédie of 1888, is its main square, and the Peyrou promenade with its triumphal arch and aqueduct is the city's highest point. It is the natural base for visitors who want to walk everywhere, and a lift and noise level are worth checking in older buildings.

Antigone

  • architecture
  • families
  • long stays

Antigone is a postmodern district designed by Ricardo Bofill, described by Wikipedia and Wikivoyage with its neoclassical-style architecture. It lies east of Place de la Comédie and is easy to reach on foot from the old town. As a planned district it feels more orderly than the old streets, which suits longer stays.

Port Marianne and Odysseum

  • modern apartments
  • families
  • business travel

Wikipedia names Port Marianne and Odysseum as major modern developments expanding the city eastward. This part of Montpellier is further from the old town, so a tram link matters when you choose a flat. It suits visitors who prefer newer buildings, parking and shopping close to home.

Gare Saint-Roch

  • rail travel
  • short stays
  • business travel

Saint-Roch station serves the TGV, according to Wikipedia, and sits close to the old town. Staying nearby is useful for arriving by train from Paris, which Wikivoyage gives as a journey of about three hours, and for day trips along the coast and region.

Palavas-les-Flots

  • beach
  • summer
  • day trips

Palavas-les-Flots is the more developed of the beaches near the city, with restaurants and bars, according to Wikivoyage. It is a good base for a beach week, while the city is still reachable for evenings out. Wikivoyage also describes Carnon as the quieter, more residential beach option.

Getting around Montpellier

Wikipedia places the airport at Mauguio, south-east of the city. Wikivoyage describes the Route 620 shuttle bus to Place de l'Europe taking 15 minutes, and notes that the blue tram, Line 1, connects to the city centre. Montpellier has two main railway stations: Saint-Roch, which Wikipedia says serves TGV high-speed trains, and Montpellier-Sud de France, which opened in 2018.

TaM runs the tram and bus network; Wikipedia counts five tram lines, and Wikivoyage gives their operating hours as roughly 04:30 to 01:00, later at weekends. Public transport has been free for residents since December 2023 according to Wikipedia, but check the current rules for visitors. Wikivoyage also describes the Vélomagg bike rental system, with paths connecting to the beaches. To reach Palavas-les-Flots, Wikivoyage suggests tram Line 3 to Pérols Etangs de l'Or and then a shuttle bus.

Living in Montpellier for longer

Montpellier rewards a settled routine. Mornings can be spent at a market or in a cafe, and Wikivoyage mentions a Sunday flea market at Mosson, at the end of the blue tram line. With a kitchen you can cook from local produce, and the student population means the city is used to people arriving for months at a time. If your stay is tied to a university or a work assignment, choose an area on the tram line near your workplace.

Wikivoyage's mention of Vélomagg bike hire, with paths linking to the beaches, suggests a bike is a practical addition to the tram for everyday errands. For advice on stays of a month or more, see serviced apartments for relocation, and for how the format differs from a hotel, aparthotel vs hotel.

When to visit Montpellier

Wikipedia describes a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and cool winters, and gives a July mean temperature of 24.1 degrees Celsius. Summer is the beach season at Palavas-les-Flots and Carnon, and the city is warm for sightseeing.

The city's tourism office highlights Les Internationales de la Guitare, which in 2026 runs from 26 September to 18 October. Wikipedia lists the Festival de Radio France et Montpellier, a summer music festival, and the Cinemed film festival, held in the autumn.

Wikipedia places the city 10 km inland from the Mediterranean on the Lez river, and puts about 70,000 students at its universities, among them the University of Montpellier and Paul Valéry University. Its population was 310,240 in 2023. This page covers the best areas, the tram and airport links, practical tips for long stays and the seasons.
