For me,the capital of Alsace is one of the most beautiful cities in France. Togather with Brussels it is the city where the EU parliament meets for its sessions.Probably because of it's important role in the EU parliament proceedures, all the hotels in Strasbourg are very business orientated. The only hotel which is "boutique" is the four stars(in France four stars is the highest rating for hotels) Regent Petite France. Its location is fantastic and the interior is modern. Tip. Don't even try to book it during the EU parliament sessions as for sure it will be full!
Strasbourg is also the capital of Alsatian cuisine. My favorite restaurant there is the two Michelin stars Au Crocodile which unexpectedly marries the Alsatian cuisine tastes and acidity. (the chef is the legendary Emile Jung and the hostess is his wife Monique Andrés)
