The Best Hotels Near Le Saisonnier, by the Record

1. Le Fooding Le Fooding Guide

A 19th-century cloister in the old heart of Besançon, converted into a boutique hotel with just enough monastic bones left to feel like somewhere, not just somewhere nice. The name means "wild," which the nuns who preceded the guests would find baffling given the spa. Rooms look out over the citadel and the river, and there's a restaurant downstairs for the nights you'd rather not wander far.

Timbered walls and earthy tones root this Alsatian hotel firmly in Kaysersberg, one of those villages that looks painted rather than built. Rooms shift in layout and mood but share the same unhurried warmth, with windows framing either the Vosges or the village roofline below. Two dining options sit at its center: a convivial Winstub for hearty local fare and a more formal room where the chef holds a Michelin star. The hotel itself holds a Michelin Key.
