Le Zinck Hotel

Alsace Hotel Review

Le Zinck Hotel

Andlau, France

Travels with Friends Charm Rating: 82

Details- Daniel and Catherine have lovingly restored and added on to this old factory in the former tanning district of Andlau. Their style is modern and accented heavily with touches of whimsy. Fourteen theme rooms like Jazzy, Zen, and Pop can act as a counterpoint to the cute half timbered story book village setting, and might even invigorate your dreams. The best part of a stay, however, is the local mystic lore recounted to you with obvious delight by Daniel. He will patiently explain the history of the area including the ancient pagan artifacts that were incorporated into the local church (ask about the She-Bear fertility statue). Andlau is perched on either side of a small river that cascades out of the mountains and is a perfect, only slightly removed, base for a visit to this lovely area on the ancient Wine Route.

Notes- This is not Old World charm, but modern, if a bit funky style in an Old World setting. Daniel is a treasure trove of local information on history, food, wine and more! Take time to discover some of all he'll gladly share.

Quotes- "This hotel is like a boutique hotel located somewhere between Alsace and Hollywood." Roger Tinsman, March 2002.
