Régent Contades: a jacuzzi under an Art Nouveau glass roof
A private townhouse in the UNESCO-listed Neustadt, with hammam, sauna and jacuzzi under a glass roof. Silent nights, ten minutes from the centre by tram.
The verdict
A short walk from the Parc de l'Orangerie, in the UNESCO-listed imperial Neustadt, the Régent Contades occupies a private townhouse with a hushed sort of charm. Its wellness signature: a hammam, sauna and jacuzzi set under an Art Nouveau glass roof, one of the most elegant places in the city to unwind.
The rooms and the spa
Classic, comfortable rooms in the manner of a grand 19th-century house. The district is residential and quiet, which buys you the silent nights that the centre cannot always promise.
Booking tip
This is the address for people who want calm: the Orangerie storks on waking, the European institutions on foot, the centre ten minutes away by tram. The flip side is that you are not in the old town, so plan on the tram every evening you go out. Pair it with a walk through the Neustadt, the Strasbourg that rushed visitors miss.
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.
