voco The Garden: the pool under the urban jungle
An IHG hotel in the Halles district built around an indoor pool and a lot of greenery. Spa breaks for two are among the better wellness deals in the city.
The verdict
The newest of Strasbourg's wellness hotels, the voco The Garden (IHG group) is built around an urban jungle: an indoor pool, generous greenery and a relaxation area meant as a green parenthesis in the Halles district, ten minutes' walk from the Grande Île.
The rooms and the spa
Contemporary rooms in plant tones, and a water area that makes the difference in this bracket. The spa break packages for two are among the better wellness deals in the city, and the reason most people choose the address.
Booking tip
Watch the packaged offers on the hotel's own website: that is where the value really turns. The station is five minutes away, which makes it an easy base for a weekend without a car. What you do not get is the old town on the doorstep: Les Halles is a working shopping district, not a postcard.
Book this hotel: for a stay during the Christmas market, book several weeks ahead. It is the busiest fortnight of the Strasbourg year and the good rooms go first.
