Hôtel Régent Petite France in Strasbourg

Hôtel Régent Petite France occupies part of Strasbourg’s former Glacières de Strasbourg complex beside the canals of the Petite France quarter. The conversion retains evidence of the buildings’ earlier industrial use, giving the hotel an unusually direct connection to the history of its surroundings.

A former ice mill

The complex was once a mill used to produce ice. Its history as a hotel dates to 1891, while surviving turbines still provide a visible reminder of the original machinery. The directory entry places the property within a site protected as a historic monument, where the adaptation combines contemporary interiors with the fabric of the older buildings.

This heritage is integral to the hotel rather than a separate attraction. Guests encounter it within the converted structure, while the canals outside establish the property firmly in Petite France.

Rooms and outlook

The hotel is described as having 72 rooms, including 13 suites and four duplex rooms. All are listed as air-conditioned. Room facilities recorded in the directory entry include wireless internet, a minibar and a safe, along with bathrooms fitted with both a bath and a shower.

Outlooks vary across the building. Some rooms face the streets and waterways of Petite France, and the canals of the Ill form part of the immediate setting. The mixture of standard rooms, suites and split-level accommodation reflects the configuration of the converted premises.

Dining and Strasbourg museums

The hotel restaurant looks towards Strasbourg Cathedral and is described as combining traditional and modern approaches in its cooking. Within the wider city, the Musée d’Art Moderne and the Musée de l’Œuvre Notre-Dame are two cultural sites identified by the property description.

Practical context

The address given for Hôtel Régent Petite France is 5 rue des Moulins, 67000 Strasbourg. Its Petite France location suits a stay focused on the historic quarter, while the directory entry also presents the property as accommodation for business visits, seminars and receptions. Room configurations, facilities and event services can change, so these details should be confirmed with hotel staff prior to booking.
