4- and 5-star hotels in Gare
A shortlist of the 4- and 5-star hotels in Gare, the district around Luxembourg's Gare Centrale, for travellers who want to step off a train or bus and be checked in within minutes, with the free tram to the old town waiting outside the station.
Staying in Gare
Gare is Luxembourg City's station district, and its reputation runs ahead of it. The blocks around Rue Joseph Junck do see visible drug use and sex work after dark, though violent incidents are rare; the main streets, Avenue de la Liberté and Rue du Fort Neipperg, are fine. What the area gives you is practicality: the country's rail hub, with direct trains to Trier, Brussels and Metz, bus 16 from the airport in about 25 minutes, and tram T1 from the station forecourt reaching Hamilius in 8 minutes and Kirchberg in 22, all free. Inside Gare, everything is walkable within 10 minutes.
The hotels on this list sit on and just off Place de la Gare and along Avenue de la Gare, Avenue de la Liberté and neighbouring streets such as Rue du Fort Wallis, Rue des Trévires and Boulevard d'Avranches, so the station, the tram and the taxi rank on Place de la Gare are all close. It suits couples and short-break visitors who want good ethnic food and quick access to the old town, and business travellers using the rail hub; families who are easily unsettled by street life may prefer to look elsewhere.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Gare Centrale is the country's rail hub, with direct trains to Trier (50 min), Brussels (3 hr), Metz (45 min) and all Luxembourg regional lines. From Luxembourg Airport, bus 16 reaches the station in about 25 minutes and is free, part of the country's fare-free public transport since 2020. Tram T1 leaves from directly outside the station, reaching Hamilius in the old town in 8 minutes and Kirchberg in 22 minutes, also free. Inside Gare, everything is walkable within 10 minutes. Vel'oh bike-share docks sit outside the station forecourt, roughly a 15-minute pedal to Kirchberg, and taxis queue on Place de la Gare around the clock for late arrivals.
When to go
Many visitors walk that route at least once for the view back across the Pétrusse valley. In daylight the main streets, Avenue de la Liberté and Rue du Fort Neipperg, are fine, while the block around Rue Joseph Junck west of the station is best avoided after dark.
