Le Bouclier d'Or

Strasbourg


This bijou family-run hotel nestles in a gorgeously restored 16th-century building in Petite France. It has been decorated with lots of loving care – whether you opt for an ever-so-snug ‘Alsatian’ room with beams and warm colours, or a grand, chandelier-lit ‘bourgeoise’ room furnished with antiques. After a day pounding the cobbles, your feet will be grateful for the spa.
