What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
this 1822 coaching inn might not have been preserved had it not been, since 1907, something of a fixture on Alsace’s culinary scene.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Wooded trails and sandstone hills of the Vosges du Nord Regional Nature Park stretch right beyond the village.
The rooms
Set across the original inn and annex, minimalist rooms contrast understated modern decor against the rustic building shell.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated indoor pool is fitted with a swan-neck massage jet and an integrated jacuzzi overlooking the gardens.
The spa
Treatment cabins with stacked timber walls host duo massages and facials beside a traditional sauna and hammam.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant Cheval Blanc Lembach
Michelin-starred dining unfolds beside a carved stone fireplace, with glass partitions looking straight into the kitchen.
At the table
Breakfast is served on a sunlit veranda with wooden floors looking out over traditional village rooftops.
How it began
Chef Pascal Bastian began here as a young commis before returning in 2008 to take over the 1822 coaching inn.
