What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This family-run hostelry, tucked away in the Luxembourg countryside, is devoted to pampering its guests.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
On a quiet rural lane outside Arlon, surrounded by gardens and countryside ten minutes from town.
The rooms
Rooms keep to pale wood and wildflower headboards, and the quietest overlook the rear garden.
Sauna and hot tub
The hot tub has a reclining hydromassage berth, set beside an infrared sauna heated between 70°C and 85°C.
The sun deck
Metal sun loungers sit on slatted timber decking in the garden, beside a cold rinse shower.
Restaurant
Le ZINC
Wooden dining tables surround an open stone fireplace with burning logs beneath warm terracotta-painted walls.
At the table
Breakfast serves espresso, self-cook soft-boiled eggs, and homemade jams, with tables on the garden terrace in warmer months.
How it began
The property began as an interwar rest stop serving bacon omelettes and coffee, then reopened as an inn after the Liberation.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
