Dual-Restaurant Historic Hotel
Why go
A strong Colmar choice if the trip is built around the historic center, restaurants, Alsace wine rather than a resort-style stay. Book the room category carefully: pay up for space or character on longer stays, but keep it lean for a short city break where the location does most of the work.
About La Maison des Têtes
Colmar hotel planning is easy to overcomplicate. For travelers considering La Maison des Têtes, the verified reasons to keep it on the shortlist are direct: it is in Colmar, it carries a smart casual dress code, it has a confirmed recognition profile that includes Michelin 1 Key in 2024, Gault & Millau Exceptional Hotel in 2025, a Relais Chateaux Award in 2026, Star Wine List recognition in 2026.
That is enough to make the hotel relevant for a city-focused Colmar stay, but it is not a reason to invent details about facilities, room layouts, dining formats, prices, or services. Treat this as a high-credibility Colmar option and confirm the practical points that matter for your trip directly before booking.
Book the room for location first, then spend up only for space
Room choice should be handled with discipline here. Without verified details on room categories, layouts, or square footage, the safest value play is to start with the room that gives enough space for the length of stay, then upgrade only if the trip genuinely needs more comfort.
For a short Colmar stay, paying mainly for a larger room can be hard to justify if most of the itinerary is outside the hotel. For a longer stay, or for travelers who want the hotel itself to be a bigger part of the trip, spending more on comfort may make sense.
Couples, families, travelers with heavy luggage should check room details before committing rather than assuming every category will fit the same needs. The practical rule: choose convenience for short stays, choose comfort for longer ones, verify specifics before booking.
Use it as a Colmar base, not an all-day resort
The strongest verified booking case is for travelers who want to stay in Colmar with a recognized hotel rather than choosing on amenities alone. For broader planning, keep Colmar travel resources, including Our full Colmar restaurants guide, open before locking the stay.
The recognition profile gives this booking more weight than a standard hotel listing: Michelin 1 Key, Gault & Millau Exceptional Hotel recognition, a Relais Chateaux Award, Star Wine List recognition all support its credibility. That does not mean every traveler should default here. If the trip is mainly about another hotel style, compare it carefully with options such as 48° Nord, Château d'Isenbourg, L'Esquisse Hôtel & Spa - MGallery, L'Hôtel des Berges, Le Chambard before deciding.
Quick reference: book this for a Colmar stay with confirmed hotel recognition; look elsewhere if your decision depends on specific facilities or services that have not been verified here.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
La Maison des Têtes sets up a deliberate contrast: an ornate Renaissance shell dotted with carved heads contains a pared-back, contemporary interior. The façade and central Colmar address anchor the hotel in the city's historic fabric, while the guest rooms and public spaces read as a design-led urban hotel with clean lines and minimalist luxury. That tension—old masonry meeting modern restraint—gives the property an intriguing, polished personality. Dining under the same roof ranges from convivial Alsatian brasserie to a Michelin-starred tasting restaurant, so the overall feel moves fluidly between relaxed conviviality and considered, formal refinement.
Best For
This hotel-restaurant combination suits guests who want both a memorable stay and serious dining. It is a destination for special occasions and date nights thanks to Restaurant Girardin's Michelin-starred, tasting-format dinners, and it also works well for business dinners where a formal, considered meal is appropriate. At the same address the Brasserie Historique provides a more relaxed option for leisurely midday or evening meals, making the property a practical pick for weekend escapes that balance sightseeing in central Colmar with elevated regional cuisine.
Stay Tips
Reserve ahead for the Michelin-starred Restaurant Girardin, which presents tasting-format dinners and is central to the property's fine-dining reputation. If you prefer a more informal, convivial meal, book the Brasserie Historique for its unhurried Alsatian brasserie register—ideal for leisurely lunches or casual dinners. Short visits that pair sightseeing in Colmar's historic centre with a relaxed brasserie meal work well; for the formal tasting experience, expect to plan and reserve in advance to secure preferred times.

Hotel context
How it compares in and around Colmar
Choose La Maison des Têtes if staying inside Colmar matters more than spa scale or countryside quiet. Compared with L'Esquisse Hôtel & Spa - MGallery, it is the more heritage-led call; L'Esquisse is the cleaner fit for travelers who want a more contemporary hotel-spa setup without leaving town.
Le Chambard and L'Hôtel des Berges make more sense when the trip is built around a destination stop outside Colmar rather than using the city as the base. Château d'Isenbourg is the better cross-shop for a château mood and a less urban stay, while La Maison des Têtes is stronger for travelers who want to walk out after dinner rather than plan around drives.
48° Nord is the sharper alternative for design-led seclusion outside the city. If booking here proves difficult, the closest city-based substitute is L'Esquisse; if the goal is to make the hotel the whole trip, look harder at Le Chambard, L'Hôtel des Berges, Château d'Isenbourg, or 48° Nord.
