STRASSBOURG
I plan to drive from Zurich to Strassbourg. Would appreciate some help on a good hotel selection in a good location. Will spend two nights (Saturday, Sunday)second weekend in September.
How about things to do and see? Places to eat? Any other advice.
Thanks.

I like this charming 3 star on a pedestrian street, very near the 800 yr old cathedral.

Enjoyed my stay at Hotel de l'Europe. A Best Western on a convenient, quiet pedestrian street near Petit France.

Here's another vote for Hotel de l'Europe. I don't know if the receptionist, Marie, still works there as we stayed there in 2002. But she sent was very helpful prior to the trip by answering my questions. I had a question about the train schedule and she researched it and got back to me overnight. The hotel is decorated nicely yet simple. I requested a room under the eaves which I don't recommend. The room was very large for Europe, but it was not renovated recently. The bathroom was painted an electric blue color and the bathtub was also blue. I suggest to request a more updated room. Location was great as it's on the corner of a pedestrianized street which leads to the main street and the La Petit France area. The hotel's buffet breakfast was very good with meats, cheese, yogurt, juice, and the regular fare.

I enjoyed the Rohan and the convenient neighborhood. There is an interesting museum (Palais des Rohan) nearby and a landing for a riverboat tour. Lots of restaurants but I don't remember the names. The hotel owner/staff will recommend restaurants.
Easy walk to Galeries Lafayette and other shops.

If you are interested in frontiers/borders, when you are in Strasbourg, go to the Jardin des deux rives : this public park is in both France(Strasbourg) and Germany(Kehl) (with a bridge in the middle) - There are often open air concerts there.
To go there, the public bus #21 operated by the CTS (Strasbourg public transports) serves both cities (they share a large number of infrastructures)
