Maison Rouge: elegance in the heart of the Grande Île
An Autograph Collection hotel right on Place Kléber, with a full spa downstairs. The best position in the city, but December fills months ahead.
The verdict
Maison Rouge (Autograph Collection) holds the most strategic position in the city: Place Kléber, the exact centre of the Grande Île. To it the hotel adds a hushed sort of elegance and a full spa: hammam, sauna, jacuzzi and Cinq Mondes treatments. In December you step out of the lift and straight into the Great Christmas Tree.
The rooms and the spa
Carefully decorated rooms, and a basement wellness area that fills up nicely after a day on cobbles. Spa offers for two turn up regularly and are the sharper deal: on position and facilities together, this is one of the best equations in the centre.
Booking tip
For the Christmas market (late November to 24 December) this is the zero-logistics address: every market on foot, the tree under your windows. The trade-off is the calendar. December is booked months ahead, and weekend nights go from the summer onwards.
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.
