This is a really beautiful property. About 10 years old, built in a traditional style on the outside, and a quite Germanic modern style inside. Everything is built to the very highest quality, and I was quite shocked (pleasantly) by how great it was given the price point (€140 for the room for one person). I particularly like the spa which (at 7pm) was really quiet and still running (different facilities close down between 8 and 10pm). Sauna with a picture window and a cold bucket 'shower' - perfect! Can't recommend highly enough, and want to return, but there are a few things which might be worth being aware of: - the rooms are really great value for the price, but the extras are more in line with the quality. For example, breakfast is €23 and worth the price (fantastic range and quality) - but that's quite high v the room rate. On the other hand, there is a bakery at the front gate that opens at 5am, and a v casual restaurant a few doors away. If you want simpler options, they're available outside the hotel. - the style of the hotel bar/restaurant is high quality but not necessarily 'luxe'. One of the dining rooms has no table cloths, and quite stark furniture. Again, maybe the Alsace style but this is more sleek than luxe/cozy. - the restaurant is high end and so be prepared to eat a gastronomic meal. I enjoyed my food but my beef was cooked may 2-3 levels higher than 'a point'. Unusual to get it that wrong. - the room has no toiletries in the shower except an unmarked dispenser which I took to be 'all purpose'. It was awful as shampoo, and there was no conditioner. Bring you own. - the Tesla chargers were all marked out of order. As Tesla drivers will know, it's a nightmare to arrive with 10% in a small town expecting to flop in the hotel... and see that. It is marked on Tesla's website as a destination charging spot. Hopefully they're repaired soon (and it turned out, when I tried, one of the three worked anyway) - Ensisheim isn't Colmar in terms of charm but it's perfectly nice. I thought the building across from the hotel looked odd, and then realised that it's a prison! If I get sent to prison, that's where I want to go! Looks nice - but perhaps not what you expect. I loved this hotel and will return when I can.
