What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
From the dining room to the guestrooms, you will be greeted by a stunning mixture of extravagant designer details.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The front doors open onto Clervaux's pedestrian center, with the village's medieval castle rising just steps away.
The rooms
Suites have freestanding tubs and studded leather headboards. Select layouts add private infrared saunas.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A stone waterfall cascades into the indoor pool, bordered by loungers and a circular whirlpool.
The spa and gym
Cardio machines and weights line the fitness room, and the thermal area has a sauna and hammam.
At the table
Tables sit under parasols on the terrace overlooking the village square, and an indoor lounge bar serves drinks.
How it began
The building spent decades as Hotel Central, expanding an 1800s banker's residence before its modern redesign in 2012.
