Just steps from the centre of Saarlouis, LA MAISON invites you to a rendezvous between tradition and modernity. The historic villa — a former higher administrative court — was fully restored and extended with a clean modern wing and a guesthouse. Chic and stylish, yet relaxed and unforced; regionally rooted, yet open to the world.

Our take
Why we love it
A design hotel with real character — no usual suspects, but furniture and details with the presence of art objects.
In LOUIS restaurant, a two-star kitchen that pairs serious cooking with genuine ease.
A francophile sensibility in the heart of the Saarland — from the PASTIS bistro to a spa in the spirit of Provence.
A historic courthouse, carefully turned into a hotel with its own park.
Food & Drink

In the old courtroom: two MICHELIN stars — and still the room stays easy.
LOUIS restaurant
Set in the former courtroom with a terrace onto the park: chic but relaxed, elegant but unforced. Head chef Sebastian Sandor cooks an ambitious cuisine, rooted in tradition yet thoroughly modern. The standard on the plate is high — and still the room stays easy. Awarded 2 MICHELIN stars (Guide MICHELIN 2024 Germany), three red toques in Gault&Millau 2023 and nine pans in Gusto 2024.
PASTIS bistro & delicatessen
The bistro with its glazed winter garden radiates French savoir-vivre — easy, unforced and creative: French bistro tradition, international classics and a plat du jour at lunch. The adjoining PASTIS delicatessen offers house-made specialities and selected wines in the best artisan manner. Repeatedly recognised with the Bib Gourmand in the Guide MICHELIN; five pans with a bonus arrow in Gusto 2023.
LOUIS bar
A library with a terrace onto the park — a retreat for a glass before or after dinner. Quiet, well-read, looking out into the green.

Spa & Wellness
A pinch of Provence, a breath of St. Tropez
A pinch of Provence, a breath of St. Tropez: across some 2,000 square metres the francophile spa unfolds like a small cocoon, screened from the bustle of the town and tucked idyllically into greenery. The highlight is the heated outdoor pool (14 × 4 metres) on a generous wooden deck among shade-giving trees.
Inside a carefully gutted existing building sit a Finnish sauna, a bio sauna and a steam room with an ice fountain. The light-flooded relaxation room — fireplace, fully glazed façade — opens onto the spa garden in fine weather. Four treatment rooms offer a deliberately small, personal menu using products by Gertraud Gruber and Kurland.

Architecture & Design
Historic construction meets modern form
LA MAISON plays with contrasts on many levels, bringing the old together with the new: historic construction meets a modern design language. Architecture and interior come from CBAG.Studio (Saarlouis/Berlin), whose experience in the offices of Rem Koolhaas and Zaha Hadid is reflected in the marriage of history and modernity. Interior architecture was led by Nicolay Design; furnishings were curated by Conni Kotte Interior.
A sculptural staircase, a glazed winter garden, a walk-in wine humidor, themed suites — surprising impressions with character. A member of Design Hotels™ and Pretty Hotels.

The Hotel Park
Old-growth trees became landscape architecture: the woodland-like park of around 2,365 square metres wraps the house with a terrace, a circular path and a fairy basin. A green counterpoint to the town — and the calm setting into which villa, extension and guesthouse are placed.
Accommodation
Rooms & Cottages
Suite La Maison
The eponymous suite among the three themed suites in the historic villa. Warm elegance, original shifts of perspective and details with the character of art objects — entirely in the spirit of the house.

People
The Hosts
Owner Günter Wagner wants to create sociable encounters between people: "Everyone should feel welcome here." Business and leisure travellers, international gourmets, the French and Luxembourg neighbours and, of course, the people of Saarlouis — Wagner wants to bring them all together at LA MAISON. He sees the house's continued growth, most recently the spa, as a logical step: a complete experience from art to design, from culture to nature, from cuisine to wellness.

Saarlouis
Prälat-Subtil-Ring 22, 66740 Saarlouis, Germany
Saarlouis was founded in 1680 under Louis XIV as a fortress town and still carries his name — set close to the French and Luxembourg borders, its francophile streak is less a quotation than a neighbourhood. LA MAISON stands at Prälat-Subtil-Ring 22, a short walk from the old town. Saarbrücken Airport (SCN) is around 35 km away, Saarlouis train station 2.1 km, the nearest bus stop 0.8 km.
