3 Place de l'Hôpital, 67000 Strasbourg
Behind an unassuming 18th-century façade listed as a Historic Monument, the Hôtel Ettenheim offers a peaceful retreat in Strasbourg, blending the charm of the old with a touch of discreet modernity. From the moment you enter, the serene atmosphere and understated elegance of the premises invite you to pause. The building, formerly the secondary residence of the Abbot of Ettenheimmünster Abbey, has been carefully renovated to welcome travelers into comfortable, unpretentious spaces.
The establishment houses nine rooms divided into three categories, offering various sizes ranging from 17 to 44 m². The furniture’s clean lines and tastefully chosen materials enhance the feeling of intimacy and serenity. Some rooms retain original details, such as exposed beams or old parquet floors, which reflect the building’s history while integrating seamlessly into a contemporary design.
Each room features a private bathroom with a shower, a minibar, a safe, a desk, and a flat-screen TV. Amenities also include reversible air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and, depending on the room, a lounge area to relax. The attention to bedding and textiles contributes to the overall sense of comfort.
Breakfast can be served in the room or, on certain days, in the nearby restaurant. Several options are available, including a buffet and vegetarian choices. You’ll find fresh products, often sourced from local producers, varying with the seasons. Just steps from the hotel, the Cerf d’Or restaurant welcomes guests for lunch and dinner, except on Sunday evenings. The menu honors Alsatian traditions while incorporating some personal creations.
The dishes offered are prepared with precision and respect for the ingredients. Game from nearby forests, local fish, and seasonal vegetables are all cooked in the spirit of family continuity. The goose foie gras with Gewurztraminer or the Kougelhopf iced with Kirsch are prime examples. The wine list complements these flavors impeccably, blending French classics with local discoveries.
To complete the experience, a wellness area is available in an annex building just opposite the hotel. Guests can enjoy an indoor pool, a sauna, a hammam, and a jacuzzi. Facial treatments and massages are also available by appointment throughout the week.
Hôtel Ettenheim also ensures your stay is as convenient as possible with services like luggage storage, express check-in, and the provision of a kettle in the room. An elevator serves the different floors of the establishment, and public parking is available nearby for those arriving by car.
The hotel’s location makes it easy to explore the city. Less than 200 meters away, the Porte de l’Hôpital tram stop connects you directly to Strasbourg’s train station or even to Kehl on the other side of the Rhine. The immediate proximity of the Nouvel Hôpital Civil, which houses the historic wine cellar of the Strasbourg Hospices, also offers a unique and heritage-rich visit.
From the hotel, it’s just a few minutes’ walk to reach the Notre-Dame Cathedral, a Gothic masterpiece whose spire dominates the Strasbourg skyline. A little further on, you’ll find the cobbled streets of La Petite France, a former tanners’ quarter bordered by canals, cherished for its half-timbered houses and picturesque atmosphere.
Museum enthusiasts will have plenty of choices. The Strasbourg Historical Museum, less than 400 meters away, clearly outlines the city’s past through a rich collection of objects, models, and documents. The Alsatian Museum offers a glimpse into regional folk traditions, while the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art features high-quality temporary and permanent exhibitions.
For an outdoor stroll, the Botanical Garden of the University of Strasbourg, a bit further south, provides a peaceful retreat away from the city’s hustle and bustle. If you’re looking for a remarkable viewpoint, the cathedral’s platform rewards the climb with a breathtaking view of the city’s rooftops and, on clear days, as far as the Black Forest.
The Opéra national du Rhin and the concert hall of the Cité de la Musique et de la Danse further enrich the cultural offerings just steps from the hotel. Their programs vary with the seasons, featuring classic performances, contemporary creations, and occasional events.
By staying at Hôtel Ettenheim, you choose a discreet address that prioritizes understated elegance, tranquility, and quality services. Whether your stay is for business or to explore Strasbourg, you’ll find an admirable balance between comfort, discretion, and quick access to the city’s many attractions.
