Hôtel des Arts

Hôtel des Arts is a two-star hotel at 10 Place du Marché aux Cochons de Lait, a small historic square in the cathedral area of Strasbourg, in France's Grand Est region. The name means the Suckling Pig Market, and the square, with its old houses and well, is one of the quietest and most picturesque corners of the Grande Île, only a minute or two from the cathedral and next to the Musée de l'Œuvre Notre-Dame and the Maison Kammerzell. The Palais Rohan museums, Place Kléber and the Ill are all within a short walk, and Petite France is around ten minutes on foot. The railway station is about 15 minutes away on foot, with trams on the island as an alternative. Accommodation is listed as double and twin rooms with wifi, in the simple, budget-conscious style of a two-star hotel. Room sizes, decor and bathroom arrangements are not recorded in the available data and should be confirmed at booking. A restaurant, spa and pool are not listed, but the square and adjoining streets contain cafés, winstubs and bakeries, so breakfast and dinner can be found within a minute or two. The €60-€130 nightly range is among the more moderate in the cathedral area, making the hotel a sensible choice for travellers who want a central position without paying three- or four-star rates. Prices rise during the Christmas market season and European Parliament sessions. Service is informal and aimed at independent travellers, couples and small groups, and reception staff can advise on museum hours, walking routes and trips to Colmar and the Alsace Wine Route. The square is pedestrian, so drivers should arrange parking in advance.
