Best hotels in Clervaux
A shortlist of the three best hotels in Clervaux, Luxembourg, based on guest ratings and location. It is for walkers, photography enthusiasts and anyone wanting a rural night in the northern Ardennes.
Staying in Clervaux
Clervaux is a white-castle town in the northern Ardennes, a place for walkers, photography enthusiasts and anyone wanting a genuinely rural night away from Luxembourg City's pace. The castle houses three museums under one roof, including the Family of Man photography exhibition, and the town sits on the Escapardenne Lee Trail. Grand-Rue below the castle holds a handful of shops, a bakery and the tourist office, most shut by 6pm outside peak summer weekends. There is no shopping or nightlife, and the nearest cinema is in Wiltz, 20 minutes away by car.
The hotels on this shortlist stand in Wiltz, Luxembourg city and Hosingen, not in Clervaux itself. Hotel Restaurant Beim Schlass is on Grand Rue in Wiltz, Dashausderfloristin on An Heirich in Luxembourg, and EuroParcs Kohnenhof at Kounenhaff in Hosingen. Those addresses make them bases for exploring the wider Ardennes rather than the town centre. The mix suits couples and business travellers on a short break, and families with small children do fine on the flat riverside paths, though teenagers wanting cafés and late shops will be bored by 8pm.

Hosingen

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Direct trains from Luxembourg Gare Centrale to Clervaux run every 30 minutes, take 60 minutes, and are free. From Ettelbruck the same train takes 30 minutes, continuing onward to Troisvierges and the Belgian border. From Findel Airport, allow 90 minutes with the bus 16 to Gare transfer, then the train north. Regional buses connect Clervaux to surrounding Ardennes villages and across the border to Weiswampach and beyond, though services thin out on Sundays. A car helps for exploring the wider Ardennes and the Belgian border hop, but the town itself, castle, abbey and station are all within a 15-minute walk of each other.
When to go
July and August bring coach parties for the Family of Man exhibition. Visit April, May, September or October for quieter galleries and cooler forest walking. Winter is atmospheric but grey, and several restaurants close for weeks. Keep in mind that most shops on Grand-Rue shut by 6pm outside peak summer weekends, and on Sundays almost everything else is shut, with only a couple of hotel restaurants and the castle café staying open.
