41 Best Hotels in Luxembourg

This trio of duplex tree houses (for four or six people) on the edge of the deer park, high in the Gaalgebierg area, is simply one of the best stays in Luxembourg. A litany of walking trails stream past its doors, and there's an excellent café where breakfast is served. Bizarrely, this is actually a regional government project, with future plans for more tree houses to be built. Inside, they've been rustically furnished, with magnificent terraces gazing over the park below. All the mod-cons are there; there's even private parking for each.

This family-run hotel holds more than a few surprises, including a huge green space to its rear complete with outdoor pool (closed in winter), golf putting green, and views over the neighboring vineyard. The covered terrace restaurant and bar offer wine tastings, and there's even a sauna and gym area to work off all that booze. The rooms upstairs are quiet and comfortable and come with balconies. Be sure to try and get one to the rear, which overlooks the garden.

Given the sheer volume of petrol stations lining the road to this excellent restaurant and spa-hotel, you'd be forgiven for turning around---but that would be a mistake, because the hotel itself is actually rather pretty, wrapped by a seasonal garden. And while the river view is slightly obscured, the bright windows and handsome furniture douse any disappointment. The restaurant is especially well regarded for its French cuisine and is arguably the best in town with a well-stocked cellar to boot. Its spacious rooms (five with a balcony) and spa make half-board stays an appealing prospect.

This historic B&B of just four rooms lies on the fringes of the UNESCO-listed Grund district, next to Café des Artistes and only a steep, five-minute walk up to the city (or just take the handy elevator). Inside, it’s rather special. An 18th-century facade integrates the outcrop the city is built on, its exposed rock lining the interior of the building and some of the rooms. The subtle restoration has tried to keep as much of this as possible, and the interior is a wonderful lesson in pared-back design: pale wooden floors, unobtrusive designer flourishes, and rooms accented with antiques create a suitably contemplative atmosphere. A truly unique stay.

This renovated 18th-century building was formerly seven separate properties, and if you’re lucky enough to bag a stay in the eaves, you’ll find original wooden beams latticed between the walls and angled roof, with mirrored window nooks carved between them gazing out over the inner courtyard and square. Distressed paintwork and golden headboards complete the effect, eliciting a fairytale air. Downstairs, the overall aura of moneyed elegance continues with the Michelin-starred La Cristallerie restaurant, its stained-glass windows and acclaimed wine cellar backing up one of the better menus in town. Lunch in Café de Paris is far more laid-back, though the wine selection is still a serious beast.

Rustic and romantic, this elegantly simple oasis is hidden away on a dirt road, along a bubbling brook on the site of an 11th-century mill. Remnants of the old stone structure have been incorporated into the inn, which opened in 1985. Upstairs, the rooms are warm and inviting, with wood-beam ceilings, and large bathrooms have tiled showers. The downstairs is devoted to a handsome bar and restaurant. The menu offers inventive French-influenced cuisine such as rabbit with sesame seeds, port sauce, and vegetable tempura. Dining on the patio along the stream is a pleasure in warmer months. Between meals, take a long bike ride or hike (trail maps and bicycles are available through the front desk) or visit the on-site exhibit of old mill equipment.

In the heart of Larochette, this simple inn and restaurant takes its inspiration from 19th-century France. The building itself is an architectural time machine, with its brocaded facade. Inside, the rooms are comfortable and clean. The restaurant serves classic French country cuisine. In the warmer seasons you can dine outside in the castle's shadow.

At the edge of the village and overlooking the river, this hotel-restaurant has modern rooms, some with flower boxes and river views. The restaurant offers grilled meats and cream-sauce standards at prices slightly higher than average—but the portions are staggering, and the kitchen cuts no corners.

This new stay in Berdorf is a jack of all trades: a friendly B&B, boutique food shop, and restaurant. There's just seven rooms, but each is large and cozy, and some have their own terrace. The breakfasts are sublime, and while most visitors are there to enjoy the walking trails, which practically start from the doorstep, it's a good general base for exploring the area.

This hotel near the station, built in 1918, has a quiet inner court and is buffered from the Rue de Strasbourg scene by a row of stores. The lobby is plush and inviting, if somewhat faded, and is kept overflowing with fresh flowers year-round. The refurbished rooms are clean, bright, and cheery, and furnished with sleek modern furniture

These simple, straightforward hotels, under the same management and located a few blocks from each other, are two peas in a pod, both providing clean, well-furnished accommodations. Bathrooms are small but functional. The train station is a short walk away. There is a 7 day minimum stay.

Modern budget hotels are few and far between across the grand duchy. This one offers low prices and easy access to the train station.

The Domus is one hotel with six locations throughout the city, each identically furnished, with all reservations handled by the central office at the city-center location on Avenue Monterey. (The other most central location is near the train station.) The bright primary color scheme and whimsical tiles make the modern and efficient rooms playful. Each room has a built-in kitchen, separate bath, and Murphy bed, and some include sitting rooms as well.

Rising above the outskirts of Luxembourg like a 20th-century château-fort, this modern, 19-story deluxe hotel opened in 1985 and competes directly with Le Royal downtown. Its rooms are gracious, with large, comfortable beds. The restaurant, Les Continents, attracts locals for its upscale French cooking.

This hotel has been in the Cravat family for over a century, battling modernity every step of the way—the phrase “grande dame” was coined for places like this. Now run by fourth-generation Carlo, he has endeavored to keep it exactly as it was in his grandfather’s day. It would have been so easy to replace everything; instead, decades-old chairs are carefully reupholstered in the same style, wooden elevators from the 1940s are lovingly maintained, and lock-and-key rooms (there’s no electronic cards here) ooze old-fashioned allure. Such attention to detail is to be admired.

Expanded from its origins as a Trinitarian monastery, this atmospheric hotel has been in the family for four generations. During the war, owner Grandma Hansen worked with the Resistance, hiding hams, cash, and Luxembourgers with equal aplomb. The public spaces are rich with history, from the cross-vaulted oak café to the hallways filled with local antiques; rooms are simple and up-to-date. The oldest rooms, on the first floor, have antique oak furniture and original doors, but baths are down the hall; the best rooms are upstairs, with balconies over the garden and fountain. The restaurant offers French classics—grilled beef with béarnaise sauce, salmon in chives—and authentic German apple strudel with vanilla sauce.

This century-old gem in Luxembourg City’s Dommeldange district offers a stylish base. Though it's situated outside of the city, there's free transport easily accessible to and from the city, making this a good option. With 36 designer rooms spread across three buildings (one with elevator access), it blends traditional Luxembourgish heritage with modern flair. The on-site restaurants—both Michelin-recommended—will tempt the foodies, while the cocktail bar and terrace overlooking the hotel’s own vines set the stage for unwinding.

Perched on a hilltop overlooking expansive gardens, this grand hotel dates back to 1927. The spacious rooms have been updated with modern bathrooms and fresh amenities, but they still retain their old-world charm. It's not far from a nearby golf course and the clientele tend to be sporting weekenders. An on-site haute cuisine restaurant makes the most of the views from the terrace, and throws in a few Luxembourgish standards. The wellness area includes a large outdoor pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and hammam.

Rooms have the benefit of being able to see not just the river, but Germany—being that this hotel is situated slap-bang on the border between the two nations. It has just eight rooms—making this lovely hotel feel intimate and family home-like. Furnishings are humble, but do the job and the balconies in each room make up for the slightly smaller digs.

There aren't a lot of options this far out west, but this sprawling hotel is an assured presence. It's also oddly ambitious. A gym and wellness center is just one of the many perks—its restaurant Comte Godfroy offers the best meal in town, plus the hotel can help with a range of activities, from kayak and bike rental to motorbike tours, and lake diving. Rooms are spread across town and range from basic stays to self-catering studios. There really isn't a lot they don't do.

Below the castle and slightly apart from the center, this spacious hotel has been in the same family for three generations and combines slick, spare modernity—tile, stucco, polished oak—with homey old details (fringed lamps, heavy upholstery). Rooms have been recently renovated, and some have balconies over the river and hills. There's also an indoor pool, gym, sauna, and roof terrace. The restaurant is among the finer eateries in town.

Set in an enviable location in the city, on the historic place d’Armes, this small, smart boutique stay offers decent value for its prestigious setting. The same owners also run the larger, more modern “gallery hotel” Simoncini, near Place Guillaume, though this is the better placed of the two. Rooms sit above the excellent 19th-century Café Français, one of the oldest eateries in Luxembourg, and a fine spot to savor a light lunch while gazing on a square once dubbed “the living room of the city.” Rooms upstairs are more frugal and business-like in their design than the artwork scattering the public spaces, but it's a great base for shoppers. 

A decent-value city-center stay on the bustling, likable place Guillaume II. The square, known locally as Knuedler (named after the knot worn by the Franciscan monks who once had an abbey here) is home to the town hall and weekly markets (Wednesday and Saturday). It’s a charming location and one for which this hotel’s neat, unfussy rooms make a fine base. The owners run a pair of restaurants on either side of the hotel that are worth your attention, especially the seafood-heavy Brasserie Guillaume. 

Reviving the belle epoque glory of the turn of the 20th century (the name is a play on the French mille neuf cent: 1900), this well-situated hotel has a wood-paneled café that's perfect for snacks of all sizes. The rooms are fresh and simple, and the ones in the front have a view of the church. Breakfast is not included in the room rate, but it remains excellent value for money.

One of a pair of local hotels run by the same family—the other (Belle Vue) is farther out, larger—guests at the Petry get to use its sister hotel's pool and spa for free, and it's more convenient here for walking into town. It's also well-serviced. There are great views of the river, a restaurant that serves both French and Italian food, a playground for kids, a huge terrace area, parking, and the rooms are neat and modern. The penthouse in particular has fine views of the castle.

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. In the warmer months, you can linger over a meal or a drink in the lovely terraced garden.

This former private apartment house lost some of its old-world charm in its conversion into a hotel. Nevertheless, the rooms are clean and newly furnished, with private tile bathrooms. Downstairs is one of the city's best Italian restaurants.

Set on the edge of a quiet residential area but within easy reach of the train station and the center, this pleasant hotel makes the most of its small setting. Recently refurbished rooms are clean and sleek, while the bar area, which hosts the odd live musician, is all bookshelves and modern art. The four buildings that make up the hotel surround a central courtyard and charming patio terrace, where breakfast is served in the summer. They also rent a pair of studios for longer stays.

This is actually two hotels, which have been attached via a walkway—the older of the two is the 90-room Koener, complete with a pair of restaurants (steak house and French), a large wellness center, and cocktail bar—but guests at the 22-suite Le Clervaux opposite also share these facilities for free, so there's little excuse not to opt for this one, which is slightly more interesting. Rooms are heavy on design, with Art Deco--style suites merging original timber framing and accented wallpaper. Large windows also offer some excellent views of the castle.
