Best Western Plus Hotel & SPA Le Schoenenbourg

Our 2nd visit, the first being September 2024 for 4 nights.....very easy access just outside of the village of Riquewihr with easy parking underground or outside, with some electric chargers available. The twin room was comfortable - on our previous visit we stayed in the room overlooking the vineyards with a balcony, which is recommended if available! Snacks on the terrace were appreciated after a long drive....the hotel offers a good restaurant. Pet friendly.....the hotel also has a swimming pool. The village is an easy walk away and of course well worth a visit! Good breakfast.

We booked a suite for a very reasonable price and it was delightful as well as being a very quiet area of the large hotel . The bathroom was large with a good walk in shower and a separate toilet which is so rare in hotels but such a good idea . The property is almost in the village but surrounded by vineyards . So incredibly easy to stroll into the village and enjoy the restaurants . The tour buses are all gone by about 6 pm so the village is empty apart from locals and the hotel guests.

We had a superb stay at this hotel. The reception staff were very helpful, particularly as we decided to up grade our room to a room with a balcony. The room was lovely, looking directly over the vineyards. The outdoor swimming pool was warm, we enjoyed a lovely afternoon here, on comfortable sunbeds. The indoor pool was small and not really suitable for a proper swim but still a good facility - there were plenty of sun beds for a lazy afternoon on a rainy day. The highlight of our visit was the restaurant. Having travelled through most of France, this was by far the best food we had. Both our evening meal and breakfast were superb. Riquewihr itself was a little disappointing. Small streets with lots of restaurants but nothing else to see. We hired electric bikes and cycled to other place, which to be fair, were similar. It was worth visiting, just to see the area and enjoy the hotel. For such a small town, the hotel had plenty of parking.

We were upgraded to a suite on arrival, and it was just perfect! Big, clean, comfortable, quiet, good view, good wifi, complimentary water and treat for the dog, really beautiful! The hotel is dog-friendly without extra charge, breakfast is excellent (if a bit pricey), parking is free of charge, spa space nice (and free of charge to use), staff is super nice and welcoming, the hotel is just 5mn walking from the centre. Excellent value for money (even without considering the free upgrade).

We booked an overnight stay an hour before we arrived at the hotel. On checking in we were advised that we had been upgraded to a suite which was wonderful considering we had had a very bad experience in a hotel in Villefranche-sur-Saône sur Saone two days earlier. The receptionist was so friendly and the suite was excellent. Just loved the hotel and if we ever return to Alsace we will stay at this hotel.
