House built by the architect Albert Schmidt, evoking the golden age of the merchants and the ease of the merchant bourgeoisie

A monument that won't leave you speechless! Built in 1609 for a wealthy merchant, Colmar's Maison des Têtes lives up to its name: 111 grimacing, grotesque or expressive faces enliven its sculpted facade. A Renaissance masterpiece by Albert Schmidt, it embodies the opulence of Colmar as a merchant town at its height. In 1902, Auguste Bartholdi added the finishing touch: the Tonnelier proudly sits atop the gable. Once a wine exchange, this three-storey building is an architectural gem... to be explored with your nose in the air!

The staff were exceptionally helpful! The room very comfortable and well equipped. The old town was charming and very nearby the hotel. It’s easy to get around and many shops and restaurants were an easy stroll from the hotel. ||We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone!

Wonderful hotel with great people. The breakfast is stand out, both in terms of quality and attitude of the people serving. Rooms are of a high standard. We were on honeymoon and this was acknowledged and recognised. Thank you. Only slight gripe. Check in is from 4 so guests tend to arrive at similar time and there was one person on reception. Didn’t have to wait long as hotel doesn’t have many rooms but seems a blip in what was a perfect stay.

Une expérience, comme toujours, parfaite: chambre superbement équipée, au calme.|Quant au restaurant gastronomique, juste fabuleux. Service impeccable avec une équipe conviviale qui a aussi un peu d'humour, contrairement aux équipes "coincées et raides". Ce qui est aussi appréciable est l'absence de d'éléments trop "bling bling" que l'on rencontre parfois, lorsque le "bling bling" essaie de faire oublier la qualité des mets dans l'assiette.

Beautiful, spacious Comfort Room at a reasonable price. Wonderful breakfast in The Brasserie, a fabulous, historic room. Great service. Best location for seeing the old city Ask for a room on the courtyard for maximum quiet since throngs of tourists stand outside the street side for photos of the legendary facade of faces.
