Presentation

Imagine a different rhythm of the city, a neighborhood that has managed to preserve its soul while pulsing with contemporary energy. Here, in the authenticity of Krutenau, you will experience a unique side of Strasbourg. You are not staying in an anonymous place, but in a true 19th-century family home, inhabited by your hosts, Fabienne and Claude. They have turned this house into a space for sharing, where hospitality comes naturally, almost as if it were self-evident.

La Célestine carries the personality of those who bring it to life. Claude, a local, a "Schteckelburjer," and Fabienne, who fell in love with Alsace, share much more than their home. Every morning, they invite you to a gourmet breakfast, resolutely Alsatian, shared at their table. It’s a special moment of exchange, perfect for gathering tips that only locals possess: Fabienne will gladly talk about her latest cultural or culinary discoveries, while Claude might sketch out one of those secret walks he knows so well.

Your privacy is preserved. The house, with no direct neighbors, offers a welcome calm after exploring the lively streets. The five rooms each have a strong identity; they are not merely places to rest but tell a story. Their decoration draws inspiration from the very history of the neighborhood, a place marked by boatmen, the former tobacco factory, or the vibrancy of the School of Decorative Arts. You might stay in La Manufacture, La Vespa, or La Dunette: each of these rooms invites you to discover a facet of Krutenau.

They are spacious, comfortable, and provide all essentials for a successful stay. Each room has its own private bathroom and internet connection to stay connected if you wish. Some even offer an adjoining lounge, an additional space to relax, read, or simply enjoy the silence.

Your base is strategic, yet away from the densest crowds. Krutenau is a neighborhood to explore on foot, with its independent shops and village-like atmosphere. You are barely three hundred meters from the banks of the Ill; a stroll along the moored barges is a must, to see the city from another angle, from the water. Practicality is there without ever being ostentatious: the Universités tram stop is nearby, directly linking you to the German imperial district or the European institutions. If you come by bike, a free space is provided to park it securely on-site, and for cars, a public paid parking lot is only two hundred and fifty meters away.

From your address, the Cathedral spire serves as your landmark; you’ll reach it in just ten minutes on foot. Continue your exploration to the historic district of Petite France, where canals and half-timbered houses create a living postcard about a kilometer away. For an evening of culture, the Opéra du Rhin or the National Theatre of Strasbourg are also easily accessible. If you prefer a bucolic escape, the Botanical Garden awaits you just a few minutes away. In the winter season, you are ideally located: the Christmas markets, including the Bredelemârik and the winegrowers' market of the golden crown, are only five hundred meters away.

Leaving La Célestine means taking away more than memories. It's keeping the feeling of having touched the spirit of Strasbourg, thanks to the secrets shared and the warmth of a home that, for a few days, truly felt like yours.
