3-star hotels in Clervaux
A short shortlist of 3-star hotels in and around Clervaux, the white-castle town in Luxembourg's northern Ardennes. It is for walkers, photography enthusiasts and couples who want quiet galleries, forest paths and an easy train ride from Luxembourg City.
Staying in Clervaux
Clervaux is a small white-castle town deep in the northern Ardennes, with the Family of Man photo exhibition in the rebuilt castle, forest hikes on the Escapardenne Lee Trail, and easy access to the Belgian border. The castle was almost destroyed in December 1944 during the Battle of the Bulge and now houses three museums under one roof. Grand-Rue below the castle carries a handful of shops, a bakery and the tourist office, most shut by 6pm outside peak summer weekends. Clervaux suits walkers, photography enthusiasts and anyone wanting a genuinely rural night after Luxembourg City's pace; it is not a base for shopping or nightlife.
The shortlisted hotels sit outside the town itself, in Wiltz and in Luxembourg, so a car helps for reaching the castle, abbey and viewpoint circuit. The area works well for couples and short breaks built around galleries and forest walking, and for families with small children on the flat riverside paths. Teenagers wanting Wi-Fi cafés and late shops will be bored by 8pm, and business travellers have little here beyond a quiet night.

How to choose
For couples
Hotel Restaurant Beim Schlass has a guest rating of 4.5 out of 5 from 380 reviews, the strongest feedback of the two, and its restaurant makes an easy evening after the castle and abbey circuit. Its Wiltz address keeps you in the Ardennes rather than in the city.
For short breaks
Pick Beim Schlass for the better-reviewed stay, Dashausderfloristin if you would rather base yourself in Luxembourg.
For quieter stays
Dashausderfloristin, at 30 An Heirich in Luxembourg, is the less-reviewed of the two and offers no listed facilities, so it suits travellers who want a plain 3-star base and plan to spend the day out in the Ardennes rather than in the hotel.
Where to stay in Clervaux
Wiltz
Hotel Restaurant Beim Schlass is on Grand Rue in Wiltz. Wiltz is the nearest town with a cinema to Clervaux, 20 minutes away by car, and sits in the same forested Ardennes terrain, so it works as a quieter base for walkers and drivers exploring the northern tip of Luxembourg and the Belgian border.
Our picks here: Hotel Restaurant Beim Schlass
Luxembourg
Dashausderfloristin is at 30 An Heirich in Luxembourg. Basing yourself here means the capital's pace rather than a rural night, with direct trains from Luxembourg Gare Centrale to Clervaux running every 30 minutes and taking 60 minutes, so the castle, abbey and galleries stay within reach for a day out.

Plan your stay
When to go
July and August bring coach parties for the Family of Man. Visit April, May, September or October for quieter galleries and cooler forest walking. Winter is atmospheric but grey, and several restaurants close for weeks. On Sundays outside peak season, a couple of hotel restaurants and the castle café stay open while almost everything else is shut, so plan a picnic or eat at your hotel.
