入住该酒店的3大理由:

1. This is a classic Chateau with great displays of art near a river close to Strausberg. It provides an excellent vacation spot.  

2. The riverside le Gourmet de I’lle restaurant serves gourmet meals while the more causal restaurant La Winstub de I’lle also serves fabulous meals which are overseen by the fine chef Yannick Mattern.

3. The grounds are beautiful, a river runs near the back patio, there are many sculptures and the setting is fantastic with well-tended plants.

入住该酒店的3大理由:

1. If you have travelled to the Alsace region of France the promise of good food and wine is probably one of the lures that brought you here. In that case, Chateau de L’Ile makes a great place to spend a few nights and try their two restaurants: the gourmet L’Asszimer and the more casual brasserie La Winstub. As we only stayed one night my wife and I decided to try L’Asszimer and we were not disappointed. In keeping with the décor found throughout the hotel, the dining room was elegantly appointed with flowers, flickering candles and grand windows looking out to the river just steps from the hotel. As you would expect, the wine list is extensive offering a variety of wines from the region and beyond (with many options available by the glass in case you want to conduct a ‘tour’ from your table). We weren’t sure where to start but thankfully the sommelier was very friendly, knowledgeable and spoke perfect English (as did the rest of the hotel staff). Taking advantage of the local produce, the menu may vary from the time we were there; however if the scallops are being offered, we can highly recommend them (along with a chilled glass of Alsatian wine suggested by the sommelier).

2. After spending the day exploring Strasbourg, and taking note of the hotels on offer, we really appreciated the quiet, fresh air and nature that the Chateau de L'Ile grounds provided. It’s just a 10 minute drive from the city centre, but once you pass through the gates of the hotel and cross the bridge that spans the ‘mini moat’ you immediately get the sense of being in the country. I’m not sure exactly how many acres the property covers, but it’s more then enough to block out the sights and sounds of the nearby city and highway. One of my favourite ways to relax whilst at the hotel was to get a cigar from the bar, take my book and relax by one of the tables located on the banks of the river that runs along the property (while my wife took a ‘post shopping nap’ before dinner).

3. One other thing that I noticed walking around the beautiful city of Strasbourg is that while most of the city squares and buildings are full or character, most of the hotels are your standard 3 star chains. It really added to our ‘Alsatian experience’ to be able to return to our authentic 19th century chateau. The bedrooms are one of the best features of the Chateau de L'Ile. Not only are they clean and spacious (with WiFi access throughout – ask at the desk for a 1 or 2 hour access code); careful attention has been paid to the furnishing to keep the Alsatian style running throughout the property. Our room was covered in yellow silk from the walls, curtains, lounge chairs and bed spread. It really looked beautiful when the rays from the setting sun came into our room and lit everything up in a golden color.
