A hotel stay can make or break a vacation. While friendly staff and early check-in can turn a trip from good to great, no AC or heating and dated furniture can turn a trip from dreamy to dreary too quickly. As a beautiful town full of pastel buildings and Alsatian style, it’s no wonder Colmar is a popular tourist destination for the Christmas season! While there are plenty of vacation rentals and hotels to choose from, we know you want nothing but the best in this Christmas stop. After our own visit and scoping out the best areas and properties, we’ve curated a list of the top 7 places to stay for 1-3 nights while visiting the Christmas markets in Colmar, France.
A Note On Our Travel Style:
We settle for nothing less than:
- Mostly four and five star properties with the occasional boutique or highly rated three-star hotels
- Comfy bed(s)
- Strong AC & heating
- Good Wi-Fi
- Within walking distance from either a train stop or a few must-see places
- $150-$400 a night (depending on trip budget and vibe)
Whether you’re going for the views, the vibes, or the brand (get and use those miles and points)! Luckily, many of the properties offer a little bit of everything. Happy planning! (Take us with you!)
