La CHENEAUDIÈRE - Hôtel Spa - Relais & Châteaux

Well, it’s a R&C which says a lot. This hidden-away-in-the-hills spa and gastronomic delight is a wonderful place to indulge the senses. The hotel itself is beautiful, as was our room and the service was excellent. The pools and Spa are spread over 3 levels and offers a wonderful experience. Apart from dinner the breakfast experience should not be forgotten.

I wrote a review August 2022, and found out later that they had suspended my account, and deleted my comment due to the fact that I was a month off 14. My family stayed at this hotel looking for a relaxing stop in our road trip. Upon arrival we were met with a friendly reception team, who swiftly showed us to our room, and brought our bags. The rooms were nice, with fully blackout curtains. Creating a isolated experience. That night we had dinner in the hotels restaurant, and soon found that they had a very short music playlist, lasting only 10 minutes until the same song repeated. This slowly but surely drive me and my family to the brink of insanity. Giving me and my sister headaches. For dinner my mother had caviar, the caviar came with 2 Bellinis, my mother requested more Bellinis as they had quickly disappeared, and upon request the waiter had to have a big discussion with the chef, then finally the chef agreed to make more. Five minutes later we were informed that the chef burnt the Bellinis, and he then refused to make any more, saying ‘only two blinis per caviar.’. This was not only a big inconvenience, but resulted in waste of our caviar. This being a spa hotel, unless you were having a massage or swimming in the pool. You soon found yourself with nothing to do. The only entertaining thing was a Pac-Man machine, which my family and I must’ve spent hours on. My family rented out the hotels salt pool, which was relaxing, but quite expensive for just an hour. To go into the main spa section, you had to be over 15, with me being under 15, I found myself stuck in the kid section, with a small pool and hot tub, which eventually got repetitive. If you are going to this hotel, I don’t recommend bringing anyone under the age of 15, as they will feel bored. Upon departure, the hotel said they would sign us up for an exclusive releáis chateaux club. For the inconvenience caused by the blini incident. It’s almost a year later and we still haven’t heard a word from them. In conclusion, I feel this was a big disappointment, and I am confused and annoyed as to why we haven’t heard anything about the releáis château club.

We really enjoyed our stay here at this charming hotel. The staff went out of their way to accommodate our group and make us feel welcome. The property has been newly renovated - the rooms are very nice, the food was great and the Spa was exceptional!

Journée day spa. Le spa est très bien sur 3 niveaux , avec plusieurs bassins, jacuzzis, saunas. Le bar du spa est très bien avec de bons cocktails. Repas buffet du midi très moyen avec des produits de basse qualité genre cantine. Cela est dommage au vu des prestations attendues.

We last stayed here in the 80/90s. At that time it was a small, beautiful, friendly hotel that left a mark in our minds. We vowed to return one day. As you would expect the hotel has grown considerably. If you want peace and quiet then this is the place for you. Colmar is within easy reach as is Kayserburg. The food is good. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
