The finest hotel spas in Alsace

5 Terres Hôtel & Spa -MGallery, Barr | Precious stone treatments

Located between Colmar and Strasbourg, Barr claims the title of wine capital, having hosted the first Alsace wine fair in 1906. The 5 Terres Hôtel et Spa, designed by Jean-Daniel Seltz and MGallery (Accor), is a perfect example of MGallery's policy of choosing either a city-center location or one steeped in history. In the heart of the Alsatian hillsides, on the famous Route des Vins, the 5 Terres hotel takes its name from the 5 types of soil on which the Barr vineyards grow. Housed in a half-timbered building with stone walls dating back to the 17th century, the 27 rooms, including one suite, feature a contemporary elegance combined with solid wood, noble fabrics and sober tones. The 4-star hotel, located 13 km from the Mont Sainte-Odile sanctuary, offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding vineyards and the town hall, whose façade is listed as a historic monument.

The La Table du 5 restaurant, headed by chef Thomas Koehren, is housed in a dining room with dry stone walls and exposed beams. In fine weather, guests can enjoy a meal on the sunny terrace. On the plate? Elegant, gourmet cuisine using fresh, seasonal local produce. The perfect wine pairing adds a festive touch to the meal. The wine list pays vibrant tribute to the great national wines as well as local vineyards, from the Bas-Rhin to Touraine, via Burgundy and Bordeaux. All can be found in the wine bar and enjoyed in the lounge, under the glass roof or on the terrace.

The spa? Beneath centuries-old Vosges sandstone vaults, the 200 m² spa, created in partnership with cosmetics brand Gemology, offers a wellness getaway featuring a wide range of treatments based on precious and semi-precious stones. A swimming pool, hammam and sauna provide a sense of escape and well-being.

The majestic bay windows - which widen the view of nature and flood the interiors with natural light - add elegance to the clean, mineral design. The resort is ideal for a relaxing stopover, offering the perfect escape to reconnect with nature in Alsace, where storks nest on steeples. The resort offers a culinary experience in its own right, with two restaurants (La Brasserie in the pure Alsatian tradition, headed by chef David Meyer, and Le Belvédère, a 300 m² space on the spa floor, for light dishes to be enjoyed in front of a panoramic view of the vineyards) as well as a modern 1,000 m² casino for gaming enthusiasts.

The real jewel in the crown of the Resort Barrière Ribeauvillé is its wellness offer: the Balneo and Spa Diane Barrière. The 3,600 m² Balneo area includes three pools, one of them outdoor, heated all year round. A sauna, a hammam, a vast solarium and a 300 m² relaxation area complete this unique facility in Alsace. Treatments and massages are provided using natural, eco-designed products from the sea, and the meticulous manual expertise of our beauticians.

No fewer than 120 animations punctuate a formidable course of relaxation in water heated to 34°C by biogas produced by the nearby methanization farm.
