Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel-Restaurant Victor Hugo

At the bottom of the hill and perched on the river, this comfortable hotel pays homage to Vianden's most famous visitor, who settled across the road during his short exile in the area. Its location can't be beat. The rooms behind the German-style facade are small and simple (a few have balconies), and downstairs is arguably the best meal in town. The restaurant does a number of Luxembourgish specialties, featuring local fish, Ardennes ham, and smoked pork neck on a broad bean stew. In the warmer months, you can linger over a meal or a drink in the lovely terraced garden.
