The Story of Hôtel des Vosges & La Tour Collection
As the owner of Hôtel des Vosges, the La Tour Group, a family-owned company, is committed to a refined and genuine vision of hospitality, creating exceptional places where every detail contributes to an unforgettable guest experience.
Through its collection of hotels, restaurants and wellness spaces, the group embraces the art of hospitality, built on attentive service, exceptional standards and a genuine dedication to every guest.
Each address has its own identity, while sharing the same philosophy: offering elegant, authentic experiences rooted in their surroundings.
This approach translates into human-scale establishments, designed to combine comfort, character and charm. The 4-star Hôtel des Vosges perfectly embodies this vision, reflecting both a strong architectural heritage and the demands of contemporary hospitality.
A member of the founding family, Julien KESSER oversees the group's hotel operations and plays an active role in developing and promoting the establishments within La Tour Collection.
Driven by a strong passion for hospitality, he is committed to making each property a destination where outstanding service, meticulous attention to detail and genuine care for guests define every stay.
Honouring his family's legacy while embracing contemporary influences, he continues to shape a style of hospitality that is refined, authentic and perfectly in tune with today's travellers, offering experiences designed around comfort, elegance and well-being.

Ideally located opposite Strasbourg's main railway station, Hôtel des Vosges has been a landmark destination since its construction in 1873. This elegant boutique hotel has gracefully evolved through the decades, reflecting both the city's architectural transformation and its rich historical heritage.
Originally built with four storeys, the building was extended in the early 20th century, giving it the distinctive silhouette it retains today. Over the years, it has also been known by several different names, each reflecting a unique chapter in the history of both the hotel and the city itself.
Among its most remarkable features is the hotel's historic lift. Still in operation today, it continues to delight guests and stands as a true symbol of the property's heritage, offering a unique journey back in time.
Following its acquisition by the La Tour Group, Hôtel des Vosges underwent an extensive transformation. Far more than a simple refurbishment, the project was a complete reconstruction, carefully designed to restore the full splendour of this historic landmark.
Every area of the hotel was thoughtfully redesigned while preserving the building's original character. The elegant wood panelling, generous proportions and distinctive architectural details were either carefully restored or tastefully reinterpreted, while all facilities were upgraded to meet today's highest standards of comfort and quality.
The façade was also beautifully redesigned, giving the hotel a bright and elegant identity that perfectly reflects its refined interiors. The result is a harmonious balance between historic charm and modern sophistication.

Today, Hôtel des Vosges offers an experience where history and contemporary comfort exist in perfect harmony. Guests are welcomed into a warm and inviting atmosphere, enhanced by soft colour palettes and an elegant interior inspired by the timeless spirit of Art Deco.
Historic features, including the original lift and beautifully vaulted spaces, celebrate the building's remarkable past, while premium bedding, modern facilities and meticulous attention to every detail ensure the highest standards of comfort.
A stay at Hôtel des Vosges is an invitation to experience Strasbourg from an exceptional address, where timeless elegance meets contemporary luxury.
