Sofitel Grande Île: the only five-star in the centre
Strasbourg's only five-star hotel in the centre, three minutes from Place Kléber: French service, benchmark beds, mosaic hammam and Carita treatments.
The verdict
The Sofitel is a one-off: the only five-star hotel in central Strasbourg, three minutes from Place Kléber. You come for the French style of service, beds that are a benchmark of their kind, and a carefully done wellness area: mosaic hammam, Finnish sauna, affusion shower and Carita treatments.
The rooms and the spa
Hushed rooms, and a spa laid out as a circuit rather than a single room: hammam, sauna, affusion, massages. The rate sits at the top of the range in the city, which stays measured for a five-star in a European city centre but rules it out for a budget city break.
Booking tip
This is the address for big occasions and for demanding business trips. During the Christmas market the calm of the house, a step from the Carré d'Or shopping quarter, is worth a great deal: book early, because regulars fill the December calendar fast.
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.
