Les Haras: a design hotel in the royal stables
Eighteenth-century royal stables turned award-winning design hotel, with an hour of spa access included with every night. The address for architecture lovers.
The verdict
The 18th-century royal stables, converted into a hotel whose design (a monumental spiral staircase, saddle leather, pale wood) has won awards around the world. Les Haras is the address for architecture lovers, and its practical edge is a rare one: one hour of spa access included per night, for every guest.
The rooms and the spa
Pared-back rooms that play on equestrian materials, plus a hammam, a sauna and treatments. That included hour changes the arithmetic against the houses that charge for spa access on top of the room, which is worth holding in mind when you read the entry rate in the box above.
Booking tip
The brasserie attached to the hotel, run by a Michelin-starred Strasbourg chef, completes the experience: book it at the same time as the room. The hotel is five minutes from La Petite France, an ideal position for a weekend.
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.
