Hôtel Vauban

Luxembourg City


The Vauban's location is fabulously central – the city's markets set up on Place Guillaume II on Wednesday and Saturday mornings, and Christmas markets also take place here. The 16 rooms have contemporary whitewashed walls and blond timbers, though smaller singles can feel claustrophobic. Apartments sleep up to four, with a double bed and pull-out sofa.
