HOTEL SUMMARY
Perched 530 meters above the Alsatian countryside, La Cheneaudière in Colroy-la-Roche represents three generations of the Decker family's vision: transforming a beautiful hillside house into one of France's most distinctive luxury retreats. Since joining the prestigious Relais & Châteaux collection over five decades ago, this five-star maison de charme has perfected the art of blending intimate family hospitality with world-class luxury amenities. The Decker family's journey began in 1974 when they first opened their doors, creating a legacy that now spans three generations. Each successive generation has thoughtfully modernized the property while preserving its authentic Alsatian soul. This commitment to evolution without compromise has earned La Cheneaudière recognition as a benchmark for regional luxury hospitality, maintaining its Relais & Châteaux membership for over 50 years—a testament to unwavering standards of excellence. La Cheneaudière's 45 rooms and suites showcase the property's philosophy of casual elegance, where natural materials like locally sourced wood and stone create warm, light-filled sanctuaries. Each accommodation features distinctive styling, spacious bathrooms, and expansive picture windows framing views of the aromatic gardens, surrounding forests, or the charming village below. From intimate Junior Suites to the exclusive Villa, every space reflects the property's commitment to comfort without ostentation, positioning it firmly in the premium luxury category. The culinary program elevates La Cheneaudière beyond typical luxury accommodation. Chef duo Jean-Paul Acker and Daniel Stein orchestrate three distinct dining experiences: Le Calixte bistro for refined casual dining, La Chêne for regional specialties, and the acclaimed La Table des Chefs (Le Feuillage), which earned 14/20 and 2 Toques from Gault & Millau 2024. The emphasis on organic, local ingredients creates an authentic taste of Alsace that complements the hotel's terroir-driven philosophy. Le Calixte bar provides an intimate setting for rare spirits and artisanal cocktails, complete with a pool table for leisurely evenings. The crown jewel remains the 2,500-square-meter Nature Spa, internationally recognized as the best Relais & Châteaux spa in 2016. Spread across three levels, this wellness sanctuary features Europe's largest flotarium, four pools including a natural mountain water pool, five saunas, and an expansive hammam-tepidarium. The spa's design seamlessly integrates with the natural surroundings, creating a rejuvenating environment that embodies the property's connection to its pristine Vosges mountain setting. For discerning travelers seeking authentic luxury in Alsace's heart, La Cheneaudière offers an unparalleled combination of family warmth, gastronomic excellence, and wellness innovation. Book a Panorama Suite during autumn for spectacular foliage views, and consider extending your stay to enjoy the complimentary gourmet buffets available for multi-night guests—exclusive touches that transform a luxury hotel stay into an immersive Alsatian experience.
