Le Restaurant is an elegant, modern space where delicious food is served up at lunch and dinner – think French classics like steak frites and coq au vin alongside international favourites, like hearty pizzas and pasta dishes. Breakfast will see you starting the day in the best possible way, with an extensive buffet of cold cuts, cheese, bread and pastries, fresh fruit and cereals, and hot dishes cooked to order.

Wellness

The hotel’s indoor heated swimming pool is a great place to enjoy a dip or get some exercise all throughout the year, while the on-site health centre also includes a relaxing sauna.

Location

As the spiritual capital of Alsace, Strasbourg exhibits a unique blend of French and German culture, and is home to some stunning architecture. Its most iconic building, the Cathédrale Notre-Dame, may not be as famous as its Parisian namesake but is still mightily impressive. A Gothic masterpiece dating from the 1400s, this should be top of the list of any visitor to Strasbourg. Also worth a visit are the lavish Palais Rohan and the haphazard old houses of Grand Île. After a day’s sightseeing, head to Rue des Juifs or Rue de Frères to soak up the buzz of Strasbourg’s lively nightlife.
