What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Trendy guestrooms with a minimalist design and comprehensive relaxation facilities with a superb spa.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Historic cure traditions define Morsbronn-les-Bains, where quiet walking paths head straight into northern Alsace forest trails.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling glass in the Nature rooms frames quiet greenery, with private outdoor balconies set directly above the garden.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
An indoor pool sits beneath wood ceiling beams, and a steaming outdoor pool borders the timber deck.
The spa
Two hammams and Kneipp hydrotherapy basins line the thermal circuit, and sensory showers stand beside an ice fountain.
Restaurant de la Source des Sens
Screens show the kitchen brigade preparing Alsatian dishes with Japanese accents, and tables extend onto a shaded timber terrace.
How it began
The property was a modest thermal boarding house in 1977, when the owner's father planted 2,500 trees by hand.
