Riquewihr Spa Hotels

When you’re booking a hotel in England you always think about bad weather and the fact that you’re likely to be stuck inside quite a lot. So you look for a nice lounge and bar as part of the facilities. In picking the Schoenenbourg for a three-night stay in June that was a thought that didn’t cross our minds. The lovely outside terrace and the pool seemed more relevant. They weren’t – it rained. Then it rained some more. That’s when we really appreciated the full facilities of this fabulous hotel. Rainy afternoons and evenings were passed in very comfortable surroundings in the lounge and we were kept refreshed from a well-stocked and reasonably priced bar. Throughout our stay we were well looked after by some of the friendliest (and entertaining) staff we have encountered in a French hotel in years. And in true English fashion we started each day with a sumptuous, high quality, varied and filling breakfast (scrambled egg and smoked salmon; mmm!). I honestly can’t think how you could find a better hotel in this area.
