Strasbourg recommendations for August 2016

Sandy,

When you sign up for your tour, I believe you'll have a $100 credit in the travel store. I'd suggest buying a copy of the RS France guidebook, as that will have lots of suggestions for hotels, restaurants and activities in Strasbourg. In order to recommend hotels, it would help to have some idea of the price range you'd prefer and the "comfort level".

We spent two nights in Strasbourg in October and I wish we had spent more time there. We took the "Pearls of Alsace" tour offered by Ophorus, but your RS tour will probably cover most of those sights. We loved the Hotel Hannong - a beautiful and centrally located hotel with a friendly and helpful staff. Our dinner at Le Tire-Bouchon (the corkscrew) was one of the highlights of our trip. In August, I would suggest that you book ahead for Tire-Bouchon. We loved walking around the city, but otherwise I can't give you any recommendations beyond what you already know.

Highly recommend the Regent Petite France in Strasbourg. We stayed there two nights in September and everything was first class. It's right on the canal in the Old Town with many fine restaurants in close proximity.

I stayed at the Mercure Centre and was most satisfied. It's modern, very comfortable, great staff, excellent breakfast spread with rooftop outdoor seating. It's close to the trams and walking distance to most sights. The Musee Alsacien was very interesting, as was the Church of St. Pierre le Jeune. Both had extensive explanations in English. It joined a free city walk that began near the cathedral. The guide was charming, informative and very interesting. The only disappointment for me was taking the canal cruise in the evening. During the day the boats are open, but in the evening you are under a see-through roof, so the views are not as good and I couldn't take any photos.

My wife and I have been to Strasbourg a few times, and always stayed at the Hotel Gutenberg. It was a great place, reasonably priced, and right in the middle of the city.

The Musee alsacien has an outstanding collection of folk art if you have a taste for that sort of thing. It is in the RS guidebook.

I'll add another recommendation for the Museum of Alsatian Life - my favorite thing in Strasbourg by far.

Has anyone stayed at Hotel Rohan in Strasbourg?
