The four-pearl, 55-room Hotel Les Haras opened its doors in 2013 and has since established itself as one of the city’s most striking and atmospheric design hotels. It's housed in a large
18th-century heritage building that once held the national
stables and stud farm near the Petite France district. Rooms have modern decor and gorgeous bathrooms, but some are a bit small. Breakfast is not included and is expensive. Other four-pearl hotels in the area include Hotel Rohan and Hotel Maison Rouge, which offer lower rates but are comparatively less atmospheric.
Scene
Dazzling and elegant design hotel in converted stables
Popular with both business travelers and vacationing families, the Hotel Les Haras features interior decor by designers Patrick Jouin and Sanjit Manku. The exterior alone makes a striking impression: A broad building topped with a sloped shingled rooftop and fronted with massive stone arches, this hotel looks every bit the regal manor house. In truth, it's the former stables, and the interiors give hint to its past life with a vaguely equestrian theme. Leather seating and panels, natural wood accents, and horse silhouette murals meld nicely with the exposed brick
and wooden beams throughout the historic structure. The hotel also has a pleasant outdoor terrace in
a huge inner courtyard.
Location
On the edge of the historic Petite France district
Hotel
Les Haras is part of a large compound of heritage buildings in a quiet enclave at the edge of the historic Petite France district. Many tourist attractions
are within walking distance, including the Strasbourg Cathedral, 12
minutes away on foot, and the Grande Ile area, a 13-minute walk
away. There are many restaurants, cafes and shops in the immediate
vicinity. The main train station is a 15-minute walk away, and Strasbourg
Airport is a half-hour drive from the hotel.
Rooms
Spacious and bright rooms with contemporary design accents and gorgeous bathrooms
Guest rooms at Hotel Les
Haras are spacious, clean, bright, and modern, with thoughtful details including leather, saddle-stitched headboards, stools, and door handles. Some of the rooms have exposed
rough-hewn ceiling beams, which while atmospheric, can be a bit low and a potential hazard for tall
guests. In general the look is paired-down and masculine, with no artwork or bold colors to distract from the high-end furnishings. All rooms have air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, Wi-Fi access, minibars, and tea- and coffee-making facilities. The modern bathrooms are spacious and white with attractive
copper fixtures and walk-in showers or shower/tub combos. Room size ranges from snug Classique Rooms to spacious Authetique Rooms. Superior and Deluxe Rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows with
street or courtyard views, and some come with balconies. Accessible rooms are available.
Features
On-site bar, tea room, expensive breakfast, 24-hour room service, and free Wi-Fi
The Hotel Les Haras has limited amenities for a four-pearl property. Breakfast is served in the mornings, but it's not included in room rates. Room service is available 24 hours a day, and there’s
a pleasant on-site tea room open in the afternoons with a selection of pastries. Plus the bar is open every evening. There's also an independently owned brasserie within the complex that's open daily for lunch and dinner and also serves tapas in the evenings. The hotel has a conference room that can seat up to 90
people, and Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel. Valet parking is also available, for a fee.
