Heritage

The 5 Terres Hotel & Spa is a historic and emblematic place in the city of Barr, wine capital of the Barr. This building has been the subject of a beautiful rehabilitation that was completed in 2016. This renovation is a showcase of Alsatian savoir-faire, supervised by the Groupe Seltz. The history of 5 Terres Hôtel & Spa dates back to the 16th century. Successively Bürgerstube, (communal house), house of Commerce then brewery, the building is deeply rooted in the land of Barr and its wine heritage.
Located in front of the city hall whose facade is classified as a historic monument, between cobbled streets and half-timbered houses, it belongs to the landscape of Barr and lives to the rhythm of the traditions of Alsace.

The sleeping beauty has now transformed into a superb luxury hotel with restaurant and spa, which combines wonderfully passion for these old stones that have crossed the centuries, the love of noble materials from the Alsatian terroir and the ambition to offer upscale contemporary and warm accommodation, and a gastronomic table in Barr in the heart of Alsace.
