Maison Rouge Strasbourg Hotel&Spa, Autograph Collection
Very nice hotel, very clean very friendly staff. The hotel has a great bar with nice desserts for late night cap. The rooms are beautiful and very quiet. Great shower & bath. We didn’t use the spa, it was also little too expensive but we took a peek and it’s quite nice.
