2 Best Hotels in Clervaux, The Luxembourg Ardennes

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 the slightly more interesting stay. Rooms here 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. The same company runs a golfing hotel just a few miles outside town. 

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.
