The Setting
Located in the heart of Luxembourg City, just a short walk from the Gare district and the old town, Sofitel Le Grand Ducal occupies one of the most enviable spots in the capital. Its glass façade and elevated position provide sweeping views of the Grund — the city’s lower, medieval quarter — as well as the vibrant rooftops that stretch toward the horizon.
Inside, the design reflects the cosmopolitan character of Luxembourg: bold, sleek, and artistic. Rich tones, modern textures, and contemporary art pieces fill the interiors, creating a space that feels both luxurious and expressive.
The Experience
From the moment you step inside, Sofitel Le Grand Ducal feels like a meeting point between worlds — classic and modern, local and international. The rooms and suites are spacious and light-filled, featuring signature Sofitel MyBed™ comfort, Nespresso machines, and large windows that frame the city’s skyline.
The crown jewel is Mu Luxembourg, the hotel’s rooftop restaurant and bar, where guests dine on refined French cuisine while gazing out over the UNESCO-listed old town. Breakfasts here are an experience in themselves — freshly baked croissants, local cheeses, and the city unfolding beneath you.
Service is exceptional — polished yet personal — ensuring every detail, from check-in to turndown, feels effortless.
