3-star hotels in Vianden
This shortlist gathers the 3-star hotels and guesthouses of Vianden, the small Our Valley town beneath one of Europe's largest medieval castles. It is for couples, families and walkers who want a traditional base within easy reach of the castle, the river and the Victor Hugo House.
Staying in Vianden
Vianden is a town of around 2,000 people on the Our River, which forms the border with Germany. Its medieval castle, one of the largest in Europe, rises above the historic core, and the house where Victor Hugo lived in exile is now a museum. The Our Valley is popular for hiking and cycling, and the hydroelectric pumped-storage plant can be visited on guided tours. Outside the main tourist season the town keeps a quiet, traditional atmosphere.
Almost every hotel on this list stands in the town centre, along Grand-Rue or close to it, within a few hundred metres of the castle and river. A second cluster sits along Rue De La Gare, on the flatter ground toward the station side of town, and one guesthouse lies on the slopes of Montée Du Château below the castle. The addresses here suit couples on a short break, families, and business or leisure travellers who prefer to leave the car parked and see Vianden on foot.
