Le Gouverneur

Alsace


Overlooking a courtyard, this old-town hotel strikes a perfect balance between half-timbered rusticity and contemporary comfort. Its petite rooms have a boutiquey feel, with bursts of vivid colour and art-slung walls. The family-friendly team can provide cots and high chairs free of charge.
