LA MAISON hotel & spa

Once the seat of the Higher Administrative Court, this meticulously restored villa—with two contemporary extensions and its own park—embodies the culture and lifestyle of Saarlouis both inside and out: contemporary, Francophile, and charmingly presented. With 50 rooms and suites, conference facilities, the LOUIS restaurant, the PASTIS bistro & delicatessen, and the petit LOUIS bar concept—as a unique establishment.

High-Quality Architecture

: This historic “Grande Dame” has been modernized with a linear extension on the north side, cheerfully combining old and new across a total area of 5,000 m². The result is a blend of historicism and modern design language, all slightly inspired by Louis XIV, after whom the city is named. This French influence pervades the entire property, greeting guests in the kitchen as well as in select designer pieces. At the opposite end of the design spectrum stands the minimalist extension, linked to the main building by an avant-garde spiral staircase. The transition from classic to contemporary is achieved with a playful touch. While one façade exudes stylish grandeur, the new wing, with its aluminium shutters, deliberately takes a back seat, leaving room for (re)interpretation. The hotel was named “Hotel of the Year 2023” by DER FEINSCHMECKER magazine.

Exceptional Cuisine:

The former courtroom, with direct access to the park terrace, impresses with its high ceilings and stylish ambiance. The LOUIS restaurant offers a sophisticated ambience and cuisine under the direction of Executive Chef Sebastian Sandor. The Michelin-starred chef crafts his menus using a select few, characterful ingredients. In a casual setting with a total of 22 seats, guests can choose between the LOUIS menu and its vegetarian alternative, “Gemüse deluxe.” Once again, the creative cuisine was awarded 2 Michelin stars in 2026.

At PASTIS bistro, a feast for the eyes is accompanied by a feast on the plate: beneath a “sky” of pots—which turn out to be lights in the open roof truss—guests enjoy creative, Francophile cuisine in a casual setting. This charming total work of art was awarded the Bib Gourmand in the MICHELIN Guide. The glass-enclosed winter garden transports guests into a verdant oasis and offers a natural spectacle—not just when the glass panels are opened. One floor below, on the ground floor, PASTIS Feinkost has taken up residence: a small shop brimming with great temptations. Here one finds delicacies from the hotel kitchen, crafted in the finest artisanal manner. Wine, chutney, and confit are personally curated by Executive Chef Sebastian Sandor. In the themed suites, culinary inspirations are given an intimate twist. The “Suite Chocolat” and “Suite Ratatouille” are peppered with creative and colorful touches.

A new addition to the bar concept is petit LOUIS, the little brother of LOUIS restaurant. It serves 14 small creations across seven courses, which can be enjoyed in a relaxed and casual setting, such as the bar or library.

For conferences or private celebrations, the LA MAISON hotel & spa features an event space within its villa that offers a balanced blend of appeal and functionality. On the one hand, the loft-like ambiance and a mosaic-tiled wall provide mental space to think, while state-of-the-art conference technology helps guests stay focused. On the park level, the PARKBLICK function room impresses as a versatile space with a capacity of up to 60 people. The space can be divided into two sections and features a foyer with a walk-in wine cabinet.

In the spring of 2025, LA MAISON hotel & spa in Saarlouis expanded its offerings to include a stylish spa spanning approximately 2,000 square meters. Inspired by the charm of Provence, this new retreat invites guests to enjoy a relaxing getaway with a heated outdoor pool, three saunas, a light-filled relaxation area, and thoughtfully curated wellness treatments.

Reached via a short, meandering stroll through the grounds from the hotel’s historic villa and modern wing, this sanctuary—housed in a meticulously renovated existing building—exudes Mediterranean ease. A heated outdoor pool forms the centerpiece of the spa garden, surrounded by wooden decks, shady trees, and spacious lounging areas. Inside, a Finnish sauna, a bio sauna and a steam room with an ice fountain await. Wellness zones and a relaxation room with a fireplace, complemented by a fully glazed façade, provide ample space for contemplative respite. Floor-to-ceiling windows open onto the garden, while a lounge area and a rooftop terrace complete the experience.

Christina Beaumont and Achim Gergen are responsible for the interior design. The architects’ signature style is evident throughout; natural materials such as travertine and oiled oak planks, combined with fine natural lime plaster, elegant sand tones, and warm bronze accents, define the clean, elegant design language.

Owner Günter Wagner remarks on the expansion: “With the new spa, we are setting another milestone for our hotel—and creating a holistic experience that combines design, indulgence, nature, and relaxation.” Photos: LA MAISON hotel & spa
