Your guide to the best luxury hotel in Strasbourg
Sofitel Strasbourg Grande Ile · Grande ÎleFor this guide we reviewed the best hotels in Strasbourg and picked one: a single luxury hotel on the Grande Île – at 4.8 out of 5 and with two suites looking out on the cathedral.At no extra cost: booking through suitespot costs the same as booking direct with the hotel – the benefits come on top, free of charge.
One luxury hotel in Strasbourg – and who it suits
Our choice for Strasbourg is the Sofitel Strasbourg Grande Île on Place Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune, in the middle of the old-town island. It sits at 4.8 out of 5 in our ranking – the second-highest step – and a night starts at 198 euros. The hotel takes part in ALL (Accor) – Accor Live Limitless.
Why we recommend it: Because it is the hotel on the island: a walk, not a ride, separates it from the cathedral, Place Kléber and the Petite France. Behind that, 150 rooms, 28 of them suites, the restaurant Terroir & Co for Alsatian cooking and a 400-square-metre garden patio – on an island where gardens are rare. Our recommended category is the Superior with balcony.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
At this hotel it pays to choose the view carefully.
The hotel carries twelve categories. Two categories face either the square or the garden – which side it will be is open.
Anyone hoping for the square when booking should not count on it.
The cathedral, by contrast, is firmly promised in exactly two categories: the Opera Suite looks out on square and cathedral, the Imperial Suite on the cathedral. Those are the two categories from which you see the cathedral spire.
Our advice: ask for the cathedral by name. Anyone wanting the spire from the window books Opera or Imperial; anyone wanting the garden books one of the four categories with a garden view. Tell our travel advisors which side you would like.
Where to stay in Strasbourg: on the Grande Île, by the cathedral
The Sofitel Strasbourg Grande Île stands on Place Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune in the north of the old-town island, a few minutes from Place Kléber – where the Grande Île is quiet without anything being far.
Our recommendation is therefore for anyone who wants to take Strasbourg on foot: cathedral, Petite France and the winstubs all lie within a quarter of an hour.
What is within reach: the cathedral with the astronomical clock and the platform at 66 metres, ten minutes; the Petite France, the tanners' quarter with half-timbered façades on the water, a quarter of an hour; and the European quarter with the Parliament and the Council of Europe, twenty minutes by tram.
For orientation: Strasbourg station is a quarter of an hour on foot to the west; the TGV to Paris takes just under two hours, the train to Kehl across the Rhine ten minutes. Strasbourg-Entzheim airport is twenty minutes away, Colmar and the wine route half an hour.
Twelve categories: the best hotel in Strasbourg from the inside
The Sofitel Strasbourg Grande Île carries twelve categories, six suites among them.
The tiers are in the name – Classic, Superior, Luxury, Luxury Premium for the rooms; Prestige, Luxury Prestige, Opera, Imperial for the suites. As for the view: four categories face the garden, two the square or the garden, one the square and two the cathedral.
Anyone wanting the garden thus has four clear categories. Anyone wanting the cathedral has two.
What applies to every category alike: breakfast for two people, the 100 US dollar hotel credit, the upgrade on arrival subject to availability and a welcome gift.
What a night at the luxury hotel in Strasbourg costs
A night at the luxury hotel in Strasbourg starts at 198 euros.
There is no minimum stay: a single night is bookable – and Strasbourg is a city often booked for exactly one. Included are: breakfast for two people, a 100 US dollar hotel credit, an upgrade on arrival subject to availability, regular points and status benefits with ALL (Accor), a welcome gift, and early check-in and late check-out subject to availability.
When it is at its best: in May and June and in September. The terraces on the Ill are open, the wine route is in harvest or in flower, and the city is full but not clogged.
When Strasbourg is most Strasbourg: from late November to Christmas. The Christkindelsmärik is the oldest Christmas market in France, since 1570, and for four weeks the Grande Île is one single market – anyone wanting that books months ahead.
What belongs to Strasbourg: the session weeks of the European Parliament, twelve times a year from Monday to Thursday. The city is then sold out, on the island too; the dates are online, and you plan around them.
When it is quietest: in January and February, after the market and before spring.
When to enquire early: for the Christmas market and for the two suites with a cathedral view. What is scarce here is not the hotel but the cathedral view.
How long to stay: two nights for the island – or three if Colmar and the wine route are added.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year just as you do in the busiest.
Cathedral view, hotel credit and exclusive services in a 5-star hotel
Alsace is the region that changed sides four times and kept both: half-timbering and tarte flambée, Riesling and baguette, street names in French on façades built in German. Strasbourg is its capital and at the same time the capital of Europe – and you see both in a day.
Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comThree things belong to it. First the cathedral: 142 metres, pink sandstone, a single spire because the second was never built – and at half past twelve the astronomical clock runs. Second the wine route: Obernai, Riquewihr, Kaysersberg, an hour south, with winstubs where the Riesling comes in a jug. Third Kehl: ten minutes by tram across the Rhine and you are standing in Germany – the Passerelle des Deux Rives is the bridge on which the border is a line on the ground.
For everything else there is the hotel credit: 100 US dollars, with no rate condition and no further strings – the obvious use is an evening at Terroir & Co.
What our travel advisors arrange most often: the boat trip on the Ill – the circuit of the island is the thing you do on the first evening – and the day trip along the wine route with a driver, because Riesling and steering wheels do not go together.
And for members of ALL (Accor) – Accor Live Limitless: our benefits come on top of the programme's, they do not replace them. Give us your membership number when you enquire.
