Best hotels in Diekirch
This shortlist covers the best hotels in Diekirch, a small Sûre-side town in northern Luxembourg. It is for travellers who want the brewery and military history museum without Vianden's summer crowds, and for families using the town as a quiet Ardennes base.
Staying in Diekirch
Diekirch is a small Sûre-side town in the north — a brewery, a military history museum, and a walking base for the lower Ardennes valleys. The town centre takes about fifteen minutes to cross on foot, from the Sûre bridge to the edge of the Härebierg trails. Place Guillaume and Place de la Libération are the two hubs: the first has the Roman mosaic and a couple of cafés, the second is where buses to Vianden and the Mullerthal leave from.
The listed hotels sit in and around Diekirch and neighbouring Bourscheid. Esplanade Hotel is on 12 Esplanade in Diekirch itself, while Cocoon Hotel La Rive and Sporthotel Leweck are both in Bourscheid. Diekirch suits travellers who want the museum and brewery without the crowds that build up in Vianden in high summer, and families with a car doing a loop of the Ardennes fortresses use it as a quiet overnight stop. It is not for anyone wanting nightlife beyond a couple of Grand-Rue bars or a wider choice of restaurants.
