Christmas Markets for Every Taste

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.
