Hotel
From the valley of the Marne to that of the Rhine, the scenery is dotted with lakes, ponds, and rivers. The soft rippling of cool water composes a symphony conducive to relaxation, offering visitors an enchanting break when the day-to-day melts into a pause for pure contemplation. This living postcard in which each natural element harmoniously finds its place provides an ideal haven in which to reconnect with life's essentials and forget urban bustle.
Exceptional hotels have opted for this idyllic setting, offering a stay unlike any other, in perfect harmony with their peaceful sites. In the charming village of Illhaeusern, the 5-star Hotel des Berges is a haven of tranquillity passionately run by the Haeberlin-Baumann family. Designed by Patrick Jouin and Sanjit Manku, working with architect Silvio Rauseo, each detail blends delicately with its lovely surroundings. Promising sweet dreams, the rooms and suites offer a sensation of total relaxation. The absolute must? The Airstream, a cosy cocoon, entirely redesigned, for a one-off experience in the hotel's gardens, to the rippling of the river. Its 2-star restaurant, the Auberge de l'Ill, enhances the adventure with an authentic culinary voyage whose local flavours recall the region's past. Not forgetting breakfasts on a boat for a pastoral excursion along the river Ill.
Not far away, in Strasbourg, the 5-star Hotel & Spa Régent Petite France stands majestically on the banks of the Ill. In a 17th-C. water mill in a historic neighbourhood, this address offers a great location for exploring the city, strolling along the quaysides or discovering Strasbourg's hidden treasures. With their refined decor, the rooms and suites enjoy amazing views of shimmering water, picturesque canals and half-timbered houses, creating an atmosphere both elegant and soothing. The rooftop spa provides a moment of in-depth relaxation with a stunning view of the old town: total escapism for body and soul.
Beyond rest and relaxation, the Grand Est unfurls a plethora of activities inspired by water. Try hiking paths along winding rivers, take a cruise on the Rhine or Marne, or pedal the length of the Voie Bleue… Each itinerary on the water invites you to explore wild, well-preserved beauty. Fans of strong sensations can enjoy rafting sessions in the Vosges, while fans of quietness are advised to discover the lakes of Lorraine, havens of aquatic biodiversity. From the pond of Lutzelbourg to that of Gondrexange via the Sainte-Marie harbour, pike, carps, trout, and pike-perch abound. Paradise for fans of fishing.
