Hôtel Val-Vignes Colmar Haut-Koenigsbourg, The Originals Relais

I introduced this beautiful region to my wife and a befriended couple from Denmark and decided to book a 2 nights weekend getaway at the Hotel Val Vignes in St. Hippolyte. The hotel itself is beautiful and so is the location. The service of the frontdesk team and all the employees we encountered is magnificent. We enjoyed every interaction with them. Beeing it pre- and afterdinner drinks, bike rental, wine storage; everything was great, and as mentioned, the staff is superb. The only disappointment was the actual room. We booked the Premium category, but the room didn't look at all as displayed. We had a parking view and the room was just OK. A bummer as it didn't match the overall wonderful experience we encountered at this exceptional hotel. Also, the room cleaning was not up to standard. Dirty towels (we put on the floor) were taken but not exchanged. Overall, we highly recommend this hotel, but we would ensure we will get an appropriate room per booked category when visiting again.

Oh my goodness. Where to start? The setting is sublime. Nestling in the village beneath the Chateau Haut Koenigsbourg (a must visit!) with the slopes of the vineyards separating you from it - and this was our view from our room on opening the curtains! The room was large with easy chairs and a tea station with kettle. The bathroom was large with a walk in shower and good toiletries. All very well appointed. The restaurant is a beautiful room with very good food and the most professional, welcoming, helpful team. Highly recommend.

Great location in this quiet little village, amid fields of vines, quite scenic. Just 2.5 km from the Haut Koenigsbourg castle. Room was large, comfy bed, reasonable size bathroom. Being short staffed, their restaurant was operating at lower capacity and was full when we got there. They were gracious enough to serve us dinner in our room instead. Odd detail: the modern utilitarian furniture, like what you typically find in international chain hotels, in the whole place clashed with the overall spirit of the building and the place.

Lovely hotel with an interesting history. Fantastic views overlooking St-Hippolyte and the surrounding countryside. Although our room was at the back of the hotel, the view was of vineyards and Chateau du Haut-Koenigsbourg. St-Hippolyte is definitely worth walking around to view the beautiful buildings.

There is a great view from the terrace over the vineyards and Rhine valley because hotel is situated slightly above the village. Room was big and well appointed. When you reserve the sauna, you have it for yourself! Well marked vineyards walking trails (possibly also for mountain bikes) pass immediately by the hotel.
