Strasbourg, the Capital of Christmas, has been holding its Christkindelsmärik since 1570, with eight markets just 20 minutes from the hotel. 10 minutes away, Obernai gathers 45 chalets across five squares. Along the Wine Route, Riquewihr, Kaysersberg and Eguisheim offer more intimate markets, while Ribeauvillé takes you back in time with its medieval market. Further south, Colmar and its six markets stay open on Christmas Day.
Close to the hotel, Molsheim and Rosheim host small, friendly markets on Advent weekends.


To explore several markets at your own pace, Hôtel Le Bugatti is the ideal starting point: a large free outdoor car park, locked at night with a keypad, EV charging stations on request, and Molsheim station 800 metres away for trains to Strasbourg.
Back from the chalets, warm up in the organic sauna, then enjoy a glass of Alsace wine at the bar. Family Privilege rooms and apart-hotel units with kitchenette also welcome families.
Strasbourg and Colmar are the most famous. Obernai, Kaysersberg, Riquewihr, Eguisheim and Ribeauvillé, with its medieval market, are also well worth a visit.
The first ones open on 20 November 2026 (Sélestat, Haguenau, Mulhouse). Colmar starts on 23 November, Strasbourg and Obernai on 27 November.
Colmar's markets are open on 25 December from 10 am to 8 pm. Those in Strasbourg, Obernai, Sélestat, Haguenau, Mulhouse and Eguisheim are closed that day.
Molsheim, 20 minutes from Strasbourg and 40 minutes from Colmar, is a central base. Hôtel Le Bugatti offers free parking and EV charging stations.
