Colmar has roughly 50 hotels and hundreds of apartments and B&Bs spread across its compact centre and surrounding residential streets. The entire tourist core is walkable, but each area suits a different type of trip. Here is where to stay in Colmar, broken down by the neighbourhoods that matter most for visitors, with specific hotel recommendations for every budget level.
Where to Stay in Colmar: Old Town (Centre Ville)
The old town puts you within a 5-minute walk of every major attraction. Streets are mostly pedestrianised with cobblestones. Expect to pay a premium for location: 3-star doubles average 110 to 140 EUR per night in high season (May to September and December). Noise from restaurant terraces and early-morning deliveries is the main downside. Request a room facing an interior courtyard if you are a light sleeper. For more detail, see our best time to visit Colmar.
Suggested Hotels in Old Town
Hotel Quatorze
A design-driven 4-star hotel on a quiet side street off the Rue des Marchands, featuring individually decorated rooms with exposed beams, a private spa with sauna and hammam (1 hour free per stay), and a wine bar specialising in Alsatian producers. Best for couples wanting a stylish, central base with spa access. Check rates and availability
Hotel Turenne
A solid 3-star at the edge of Little Venice with 85 modern rooms, air conditioning (essential in July and August heatwaves), and a generous breakfast buffet with Alsatian cheeses and pastries.

ibis Budget Colmar Centre Ville
A no-frills budget hotel 300 metres from the Maison des Tetes and 5 minutes on foot from Little Venice. Rooms are compact with basic furnishings, but the location at this price point (typically 50 to 70 EUR per night) is hard to beat. Best for solo travellers and backpackers who plan to spend all day exploring and just need a clean bed. Check rates and availability
Where to Stay in Colmar: Little Venice (La Petite Venise)
Staying in Little Venice means waking up to canal views and half-timbered reflections. The area has the highest concentration of luxury and boutique accommodation but also the most daytime tourist foot traffic. Hotels here are mostly in converted historic buildings with character and quirks (steep stairs, no lifts, sloped floors) rather than modern conformity. For more detail, see our things to do in Colmar.
Suggested Hotels in Little Venice
Hotel Le Colombier Suites
A 4-star boutique hotel in the heart of Little Venice offering soundproofed rooms and suites with garden or canal views, a small wellness area with sauna, and a courtyard garden for breakfast in summer. Best for couples seeking a romantic, quiet base that still sits in the middle of the most scenic district. Check rates and availability For more detail, see our Colmar travel tips.
Hotel Le Maréchal
A 4-star hotel occupying a 16th-century building directly on the Lauch River with a restaurant terrace that hangs over the water. Rooms feature antique furniture and beamed ceilings. Best for travellers who want an old-world Alsatian experience with a canal-front restaurant. Check rates and availability
Le Petit Rapp
A 3-star guesthouse-style hotel just outside Little Venice on Rue de Turckheim with individually decorated rooms, a cosy breakfast room, and rates around 90 to 110 EUR per night. Best for budget-conscious travellers who want Little Venice proximity without the full canal-view price tag. Check rates and availability
Where to Stay in Colmar: Champ de Mars / Northern Old Town
This quieter, greener zone north of the old town offers the best balance of walkability and calm. You are a 5 to 10-minute walk from the Unterlinden Museum and the old town core. The park itself is a restored 19th-century green space with walking paths and benches. For more detail, see our Colmar weather by month.
