Intimate escapes: French boutique hotels away from the city - SilverKris

"A timber-framed Alsatian house that served for decades as the base for glass designer René-Jules Lalique, located close to his still-operational factory-turned-museum. Reopened in 2015 after a modern makeover, its six suites display abundant Maison Lalique crystalware and family photographs; a Mario Botta–designed glasshouse now houses a restaurant where chef Jean-Georges Klein cooks beneath a 1928 Lalique chandelier originally made for the Orient-Express. The property pairs historic charm with contemporary design and is reachable by rail via nearby Wingen-sur-Moder or by flying into Strasbourg (about 65 km)." - SilverKris
