Hôtel Origami

Hôtel Origami is a four-star hotel at 16 Rue du Bataillon de Marche 24 in the Montagne Verte and Koenigshoffen district of western Strasbourg, in Grand Est, France. The neighbourhood lies outside the tourist core, in a former industrial and residential area along the Ill and the Marne-Rhine canal that has been undergoing regeneration, and it offers a calmer, more local setting than the Grande Île. The historic centre, including the cathedral and Petite France, is reachable by tram and bus in around fifteen to twenty minutes, and the station is also connected by public transport. The hotel's name suggests a folded, contemporary design approach, and the property presents a modern, minimalist character that differs from the half-timbered look of the old town. Rooms are offered as Double Rooms and Twin Rooms, and wifi is included. A bar and a fitness centre are listed among the amenities, giving guests a place for an evening drink and a workout without leaving the building, a useful combination for business travellers. No on-site restaurant or spa is listed, so meals are usually taken in the neighbourhood's local eateries or in the city centre after a tram ride. Visitors who want Alsatian specialities such as tarte flambée and choucroute will find winstubs in the Grande Île and Petite France. Breakfast arrangements should be confirmed with the hotel. The service character is business-oriented and quietly efficient, suiting guests visiting offices, trade events or the European institutions who prefer lower density and modern comforts. Nightly rates usually run from about €120 to €300 depending on demand, with the highest prices in December and during European Parliament weeks. Travellers with a car may find parking easier here than in the restricted old town, but this should be confirmed with the hotel in advance. Travellers on longer stays often appreciate the calmer streets and the chance to see a working, residential side of Strasbourg that most day visitors never reach.
