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

This superb building is one of Colmar's most famous historic monuments. Built in 1609 by the architect Albert Schmidt for the merchant Anton Burger, it is in the German Renaissance style. The most surprising thing about the façade is the 111 heads and masks that adorn it, hence the name. The Maison des Têtes evokes the golden age of commerce and the affluence of Colmar's merchant bourgeoisie. In 1902, the gable decorated with scrolls and fins was topped by a statue of Tonnelier, the work of Auguste Bartholdi

This is one of the nicest places we’ve stayed and we travel a lot. Lovely historic property with great staff, an excellent room and bed as well as a first rate restaurant with a fabulous breakfast. If you’re in town do yourself a favor and stay here!!

Enjoyed the cuisine at the Brasserie for dinner-loved all the fresh herbs. Breakfast was lovely-so many options including great viennoiseries and amazing housemade muesli. Room was cute and bed comfortable. We would come back to Colmar again just for La Maison des Têtes. Great staff! So cool and welcoming.

Avons passé une nuit à l’hôtel, et dîné au restaurant gastronomique. Tout était parfait du début à la fin. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

We loved this lovely, historic, centrally located chef owned hotel in Colmar, France. The staff and owner were always available and personable.|Our room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful with enough food for a small picnic lunch to go. Dinner in the new restaurant was fantastic.
