3 Best Hotels in The Luxembourg Ardennes, Luxembourg

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.

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.

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.
