Once in Alsace our castle-hotel will be home for the next 2 nights. Borrow a bike from the hotel, go hiking in the middle of the vineyards or walk down to the village for the rest of the afternoon. A cocktail and a royal dinner will be served in the 12th century vault of the castle.

Your Hotel Tonight

Le Chateau d'Isenbourg

A striking chateau in the heart of Alsace wine country, surrounded by vineyards with far-reaching views towards the Black Forest, Chateau d'Isenbourg is a renowned gastronomic gem on the Alsatian wine route. French country elegance fills every room. The atmosphere is peaceful with lots of floral decor and classic furnishings in the guest rooms and suites. Outside, the pretty gardens form a floral oasis with views over the historic town of Rouffach. In contrast to the rustic charm of the nearby towns and villages, the Chateau d'Isenbourg is a majestic residence with rooms and suites richly furnished and decorated and two dining rooms promising an indulgence level worthy of the confessional! Where there is fine wine, there is fine cuisine. Relax and enjoy a gourmet chocolate back massage in the tranquil spa or try a more conventional Thai-inspired treatment. Dine on sophisticated Alsace cuisine in one of the two dining rooms: Salle Panoramique, which has amazing views, or Salle Dagobert, the 14th century vaulted dining room..
