The Top 23 Hotels Near Gasthof Ochsen
-
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.
-
A health resort in the Black Forest, Luisenhöhe holds a Michelin 2 Keys distinction and earns it with floor-to-ceiling views of Rhine foothills that genuinely look painted. Rooms lean into natural wood and mid-century modern furniture with eco-conscious credentials, bold textiles keeping things from going too earnest. The wellness complex runs to a 25-meter heated pool and enough terraces that picking a favorite becomes a small daily project.
-
The rooftop bar goes full Moroccan souk above the Black Forest treeline, which tells you something about Nouri's approach to wellness hotels. Rooms run pale oak and sand tones, some with an indoor hanging chair that is either charming or eccentric. The spa connects directly to the Vita Classica thermal baths next door, a real advantage, and the restaurant leans regional and fitness-forward under an Alsatian chef.

Lake Schluchsee sits at the doorstep and the Black Forest fills the view from there, which sets the tone for everything Hotel Auerhahn does. It's a 58-room hotel run by the same family for three generations, and it shows in the way the place feels cared for rather than managed. Two restaurants, a bar leaning into inventive drinks, and a spa round things out for guests who plan to stay a while and do very little.

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.

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.
-
The stream that once drove the mill still runs past the terrace, which tells you everything about how this boutique hotel handles its history. Timber beams and old tiled stoves stay in the rooms; the grain mill atmosphere stays intact. The owners are visibly around, the wood-fired sauna is a serious perk, and the small restaurant folds local Black Forest produce into quiet French and Japanese ideas. Slow mornings, early nights, thick forest outside.
-
A boutique hotel on the Ill riverbank where two buildings share a property but not a decade: the original chalet brings dark wood and terracotta floors, while the newer wing goes full minimalist glass and Japanese spa energy. Indoor and outdoor pools, gorgeous gardens, and a Michelin Guide Key to its name. The two-Michelin-star restaurant next door is the obvious draw, but the hotel has clearly stopped being just a place to sleep it off.
-
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.
-
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.

-
Bare-wood cabins on stilts above the Alsatian treeline, designed by a Franco-Danish landscape architect and a Norwegian colleague who apparently compared notes on forests and ran with it. This is a cabin hotel where the Nordic modernism is warm rather than austere, and some cabins come with a sauna or Jacuzzi. The central lodge, Felles Hytte, handles breakfast and dinner with the same hillside views you woke up to.

The old sandstone vaults beneath this MGallery hotel in Barr have been turned into a spa with indoor pools framed by stone archways, which feels like a reasonable use of a 16th-century building that was once a brewery. Rooms keep the exposed beams and angled ceilings but get velvet and leather to go with them. The Alsace Wine Trail runs right outside, and the terrace faces the vineyards, so the setting does a lot of the work.
