7 Rue De La Chaîne, 67000 Strasbourg
You arrive in front of the EtC... Hotel as if discovering a hidden address, nestled between historic facades and the lively streets of the Grande-Île. The contemporary silhouette of the establishment contrasts just enough with the surrounding timber frames, heralding a stay where modern comfort blends with the rich heritage of Strasbourg.
Crossing the threshold, you are welcomed by a bright lobby, punctuated with colorful touches that immediately lift your spirits. The parquet flooring warms the space, the seating invites you to pause before heading out to explore the city, and the staff, available day and night, answers your initial practical questions with ease.
The hotel is organized across four floors, each offering a distinct color palette. From vibrant reds to soothing greens, each corridor tells a chromatic story, setting the tone for the room's ambiance. There is no elevator; the wide and bright staircase evokes the bourgeois houses of the past and adds rhythm to the ascent from one level to the next.
The thirty-five rooms continue this play of colors without ever repeating themselves. Minimalist furniture, carefully chosen lighting, and soft textiles create a contemporary cocoon where you’ll happily unpack after a day of sightseeing. Wi-Fi covers every corner, and the flat-screen TV remains discreet, ready to broadcast the news or an evening film.
Various configurations are available, from single rooms to quadruple spaces capable of accommodating a small group. Couples, friends, or business travelers will find the appropriate space, with bedding that strikes the right balance between firmness and softness. In most units, separate toilets from the bathroom enhance the sense of space and comfort.
Families are given special attention: a baby bed upon reservation, portable bathtub, bottle warmer, high chair, or booster seat ready to use. This simple approach allows you to travel light while ensuring the well-being of the youngest guests. The shared microwave, available upon request, lets you heat up a child’s meal at any time.
Each bathroom features an easily accessible shower, thick towels, and fresh-scented toiletries. Efficient air extractors and careful soundproofing create an environment conducive to relaxation. The entire building is non-smoking, ensuring a consistently healthy atmosphere.
In the morning, the breakfast buffet is set up in a room lit by large windows. Regional cold cuts and cheeses sit alongside pastries from the nearby bakery and freshly cut fruits. On weekdays, service starts at seven to suit tight schedules; on weekends, it extends until ten-thirty, offering the luxury of a leisurely morning.
Later in the day, the bar becomes the gathering point for a strong coffee, Alsatian apple juice, or a glass of white wine. The low sofas invite you to review your day, while the luggage storage frees up your hands between check-out and your return train. The multilingual team is happy to arrange a taxi or print a boarding pass, all with cheerful efficiency.
When you close the door behind you, you take with you the memory of a simple, colorful place that prioritizes the essentials: sleeping peacefully, waking up inspired by the city, and leaving with a light step. The EtC... Hotel caters to those seeking a reliable, central, and personable address without sacrificing character.
From the hotel, the Notre-Dame Cathedral’s Gothic spire is less than a five-minute walk away. Take the time to admire the statuary on the facade, then step inside to view the rose window and, if the timing is right, the dance of the astronomical clock.
Heading west, the cobblestone maze of Petite France unfolds its canals, covered bridges, and timber-framed houses. Stroll along the Ill River, observe the changing reflections on the water, and make a detour to the former tanners' icehouses, remnants of a still palpable artisanal past.
Culture enthusiasts will find two major hubs within a short distance: the Alsatian Museum, where regional traditions and craftsmanship are showcased, and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, located by the river. Between folk art and contemporary creations, these visits complement the architectural exploration of the city.
If your stay coincides with the famous Christmas market or a concert at the Aubette Hall, let yourself be carried away by the festive atmosphere that takes over streets and squares. Illuminations, choirs, and stalls scented with spices transform Strasbourg into a city-spectacle, while the EtC... Hotel remains your quiet haven to recharge before another day of discoveries.
