The stone hermitage a few meters from the front door sets the tone: remote, unhurried, and quietly dramatic. This mountain hotel in the High Vosges reopened recently under new ownership, with 28 wood-paneled rooms that have traded alpine roughness for something considerably more polished. A Michelin-starred chef runs the restaurant, and the spa's infinity pool and outdoor balneotherapy pools face open mountain air, which is exactly what you came for.

Perched on the Rhine in central Basel, this grand old hotel has been around forever, and it carries that history in marble corridors and neoclassical interiors rather than hiding it behind a rebrand. Rooms run firmly toward old-world luxury, the kind where the service anticipates the ask. A Forbes Four Star property, it draws a well-traveled crowd who appreciate that the restaurant takes French tradition seriously. Bob Dylan and Napoleon both stayed here, which is quite a spread.

Hundreds of sculpted stone faces stare down from the 1609 façade of this small hotel in Colmar's old town, which explains the name and makes for an arresting first impression. Inside, the rooms are modern and minimal, quietly luxurious, some roomy enough for a family. Two restaurants sit downstairs, one a brasserie, one a Michelin-starred dining room. The Michelin Guide awarded the hotel itself one Key.

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.

Colmar's old town is all half-timbered facades and cobblestones, which makes this sleek MGallery hotel, facing the Champ de Mars park rather than a medieval roofline, a mild act of rebellion. The 62 rooms lean into 20th-century modernism, the spa is run by Clarins with a heated indoor pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room, and the on-site restaurant, JY's, holds two Michelin stars if you'd rather not wander far for dinner.
