This is a castle with rooms that look
lived in! There are a stunning dining
room, a red bed chamber, tapestries,
chandeliers, an ornate chapel. This
summer, Vianden Castle will celebrate
its 700th anniversary with fairs,
exhibitions, sound and light shows
and concerts.

Luxembourg has hotels for every style and budget, including two I sampled, the
charming Romantik Hostellerie du Grunewald, where the treatment is soigné and the
food is gourmet, and the Best Western International, well-kept and supremely
convenient across the street from the train station, which has the typically effusive
German breakfast buffet.

They’re not medieval, but Romantik
hotels are always charming, and that is
true for the Hostellerie du Grunewald,
just outside Luxembourg city center.
This establishment—family-run like all
Romantik hotels -- was built by Louise
Decker from four private houses and
reflects her personal style. Small
corners seek to emulate a salon. The
cozy lobby is also a hub for free wifi.

The restaurant is classic gourmet with
a renowned chef who has been at the
hotel for 44 years. It’s not a touristic
restaurant, but caters to business
people during the week and private
parties on weekends. Regular clients
have been coming here for years,
some from as far away as Belgium.
The chef’s wife Mary introduced herself
as the “patron du restaurant.”

The breakfast buffet is typically

and fruits and yogurts that heartily
improve on the breakfast known as
“continental.”

Even better, the location of the family-run International puts you across the street
from both the train station and the bus terminal from where you can easily get
anywhere in the area.
