The Top 41 Hotels Near Hawara



  1. 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.



  2. 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.





  3. 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.


  4. 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.



  5. 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.


  6. 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.


  7. 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.


  8. 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.





  9. 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.




  10. The bars on the windows are original, which is either a design choice or a warning, depending on how you feel about Offenburg. Hotel Liberty is a former 19th-century prison converted into a luxury hotel, with exposed brick ceilings, a sandstone wine bar in the old cellar, and a cocktail lounge in the former yard. Onetime cells are now parquet-floored guest rooms, and the rooftop suite keeps the original timber beams.


  11. 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.



  12. 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.


  13. A Black Forest hotel that's been around forever, tucked into the wine village of Durbach, with a patchwork of old stone and newer construction that somehow holds together. Rooms lean contemporary inside the historic shell, the restaurant takes local cuisine seriously, and the spa adds mindfulness coaching to the usual steam-and-soak formula, which is either very 21st century or a sign they've seen too many burned-out guests come through.


  14. A family-owned resort in the Black Forest that never traded its classic grand-hotel bones for a boutique rebrand, Hotel Dollenberg sits on rolling parkland laced with walking trails, with vineyard and valley views from most rooms. The spa alone runs to 4,000 square meters. Rooms start at doubles and scale up to suites, with no token singles in sight. The hotel holds a Michelin Key.



  15. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the green folds of the Black Forest from rooms done in whites and natural woods, with a balcony or terrace on every one. This is a sprawling country resort with nine spa treatment rooms, three pools, a sauna, and enough yoga, hiking, and cross-country skiing to keep a restless person occupied for days. Five restaurants handle the eating. The Michelin Guide awarded it three Keys.


  16. A family-run hotel and spa in the Alsatian countryside, still on the same family's watch after half a century, with rooms done in deep forest blues and greens that make the Vosges mountains feel like a design choice rather than a coincidence. The three-floor spa, with its pools, baths, and saunas, is the real draw for most guests. Two restaurants on site, including one holding a Michelin star, ensure you can justify the whole thing as a food trip. The Michelin Guide awarded it 2 Keys.


  17. France's former royal stables, once home to horses, now house a Michelin Key design hotel a short walk from Strasbourg's old city. Patrick Jouin and Sanjit Manku kept the exposed timber bones and layered in Seventies palette and futuristic touches, so the rooms feel both ancient and quietly sci-fi. The spa runs to a hammam, sauna, and a long pool. Guests who never open a map tend not to mind.


  18. A resort complex spread across meadow-like grounds in the Black Forest, Engel Obertal operates more like a small village than a hotel, with its own rhythms and enough space that you can genuinely forget the outside world exists. Rooms lean into regional craft with polished wood and earth tones, while the freestanding chalets add private saunas and terraces. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.


  19. A 16th-century coaching inn that has been folded into Accor's MGallery boutique line without losing the bones that made it worth preserving. The rooms mix original architectural features with proper modern bathrooms and plush mattresses, and the suites have genuine character beyond the added square footage. Ask for a courtyard-facing room and the double-glazed windows put central Strasbourg at an arm's length, which is exactly where you want it at midnight.



  20. The cast-iron wheels and machinery from a 17th-century ice mill are still on display in the lobby, which tells you something about the bones of this canal-side hotel in Petite France. Seventy-five rooms, each a little different, some with balconies hanging over the water or facing the Covered Bridges. A spa, riverside terraces, and the kind of heavy stone atmosphere that makes you feel like you've actually arrived somewhere.


  21. Twelve rooms in a Belle Époque townhouse, each one a different argument for velvet and low lighting. Madame C is a four-star boutique hotel that keeps its address quiet and its atmosphere closer to a private salon than a lobby scene. The cocktail bar downstairs has developed its own following independent of the rooms above. Strasbourg is full of this kind of architecture; not all of it makes you want to linger quite this long.


  22. The Art Deco bones here are the real draw, a grand old hotel on one of Strasbourg's most storied streets where some rooms look straight up at the cathedral spire. The 131 rooms blend period character with contemporary detail, and the Salons Mistinguett lean hard into 1920s glamour without apology. A spa keeps things calm when the city gets to be too much, and the restaurant handles French classics dutifully downstairs.


  23. A hotel where local artists were handed the keys and told to go for it, which means no two of the 38 rooms look remotely alike. Some go graffiti, some go full steampunk, others disappear into forest or Op Art geometry. The all-day Graffateria handles food whenever you need it, and bikes are available since Strasbourg apparently takes cycling more seriously than most French cities. Pack accordingly.


  24. The neoclassical facade on Rue de la Nuée-Bleue gives nothing away; inside, designer Jean-Philippe Nuel has filled this 116-room luxury boutique hotel with sharp contemporary art and furniture that cost more than your car. Rooms are quieter but still considered, with full-length windows over Strasbourg. Downstairs, a single space does triple duty as bar, patisserie, and restaurant, which is either admirably efficient or a little indecisive, depending on your mood.



  25. 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.
