Hotel le Columbier and Columbier Suites are both located literally a softball toss from the Lauch River, actually in La Petite Venis and the heart of historic Colmar. You couldn't get closer to historic Alsace than this.
And the hotels are both fantastic. The decor, staff, breakfast, wifi and amenities are first rate. The staff is friendly, professional, and unobtrusive.
Our suite was in a building dating from the 1500s, wich exposed timbers yet completely modern.
