Does anyone have a suggestion for a hotel in Strasbourg? Have you stayed at the Hotel du Dragon? We are going to the Christmas Markets.
We stayed at Hotel Cathedrale when we went to the Christmas markets. It was very nice, the staff were fantastic and the location is as the name suggests in front of the cathedral so very centrally located for the Christmas markets. It is also very close to the tourist info office. My luggage did not arrive with me after my flight from the US and the hotel staff voluntarily checked daily with the airline to try to help me locate my missing bag. Strasbourg was our favorite Christmas market. The Christmas decorations throughout the area are beautiful. I hope you also do a day trip to Colmar which is also a wonderful Christmas market.
In 2015, we stayed at the Hotel Hannong. An easy walk from the train station, and an easy walk to the Cathedral. The staff was friendly and helpful - this was the rare hotel that "felt" more expensive than it actually was.
We stayed at the Hotel Gutenburg Dec, 2019. They had gluhwein and gingerbread in the lobby all day, after 11:00am. Breakfast was adequate but served the creamiest scramble eggs I have ever eaten. It's right off the main plaza. I really support the plan to pay a little more for a hotel in the old town area, and then save money by eating your meals at the xmas markets. We did the VinoRoute all-day wine tour which took us to Colmar, among other charming small towns.
So jealous- have a great time!
Thank you all for your responses and suggestions. I know we will have a great time!
Check out l'Hôtel & Spa Le Bouclier d'Or in Strasbourg. Perfect setting, staff, breakfast, and location,
We stayed at the du Dragon, but it was over fifteen years ago. We liked it a lot, although our room may have had an extra staircase because it was (glamorously) in the attic? I vaguely think they may have had parking, because we drove to a Michelin 3-star in Ill (Eye-El-El) the night before we drove on to Alsace and then Avignon.
We stayed in Maison Rouge Hotel and Spa in Dec 2016 after our RS Best of Munich, Salzburg, and Vienna (Christmas markets) tour. We took a train from Vienna and easily found our hotel. It was centrally located and we walked everywhere from the hotel. I didn’t think it had the word Spa in the hotel name as that sounds too fancy for us but indeed I checked my records and that is where we stayed in Strasbourg. I think we liked the markets there just as much as we did those in Germany and Austria and the Cathedral was magnificent!……
