HOTEL SUMMARY
Where 17th-century industrial heritage meets contemporary luxury, Régent Petite France transforms Strasbourg's historic Petite France district into an extraordinary five-star sanctuary. Housed within a former ice factory that once served the region until 1989, this remarkable property preserves gigantic cast-iron wheels and original machinery while delivering sophisticated hospitality in UNESCO World Heritage surroundings. Since opening on May 1, 1992, under the vision of Jean-Maurice Scharf, Régent Petite France has redefined luxury accommodation in Strasbourg. The hotel occupies the historic "Klareiswerke zur Dünzenmühle" ice factory, where centuries of industrial innovation are preserved as living museum pieces throughout the property. In 2015, the addition of Le Pavillon—a meticulously restored Alsatian house—expanded the offering with 17 design-focused rooms, bringing the total accommodation to 75 elegant rooms and suites. This premium property stands as Strasbourg's most distinctive luxury hotel, seamlessly blending authentic heritage with modern refinement. The hotel's 75 rooms and suites showcase blonde wood floors, natural materials, and specially designed marquetry that honors the building's industrial past while embracing contemporary comfort. Each accommodation offers splendid views of the Ill River and the district's iconic half-timbered houses, with Le Pavillon's design bedrooms featuring particularly striking contemporary aesthetics. The Régent Petite France suites represent the pinnacle of luxury accommodation, where historic cast-iron elements serve as dramatic design features alongside modern amenities and river vistas that capture the essence of this pedestrian-only district. Dining at Le Pont Tournant restaurant elevates classic French cuisine with distinctive Alsatian influences, complemented by an extensive wine selection and summer terrace dining overlooking the Ill River. The champagne bar provides an intimate setting for pre-dinner aperitifs, while the vast spa offers SkinCeuticals treatments within light-filled spaces featuring sauna, hammam, and outdoor whirlpool baths. The preserved ice factory machinery becomes accessible during European Heritage Days, offering guests exclusive cultural experiences unavailable elsewhere. Meeting facilities accommodate intimate gatherings for up to 12 guests, while the hotel's prime location places Strasbourg Cathedral and the historic city center within easy walking distance. For discerning travelers seeking authentic luxury in Strasbourg, Régent Petite France offers an unparalleled combination of industrial heritage and contemporary sophistication. Book the river-view suites for the ultimate experience, particularly during spring and summer when the terrace dining and outdoor spa facilities shine.
