LaliqueAlsatian crystal atelier
Set in a wooded park, this restored 1920 villa pairs intricate crystal craftsmanship with quiet Alsatian estate seclusion.

What it’s good at
Remarkable
Six bespoke suites showcase handcrafted crystal inlays, Lalique Maison furniture, and a contemporary glass dining pavilion.

Built in 1920 as René Lalique’s family villa, the preserved estate celebrates a century of master glassmaking.
What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Villa René Lalique feels less like a hotel and more like stepping into the private world of its namesake.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Forest trails of the Northern Vosges surround the estate, with the region's glassmaking heritage showcased at the neighbouring Musée Lalique.
The rooms
Six Art Deco suites feature handcrafted crystal inlays on bed frames and sideboards, each themed around an archival glass motif.
Restaurant Villa René Lalique
Mario Botta's glass pavilion looks out onto the woods, serving two-Michelin-starred cuisine seasoned with estate-grown herbs.
How it began
René Lalique built this family residence in 1920 to stay near his glassworks, preserved today as an intimate living atelier.
