Obernai is a charming Alsatian town located about 30 km north of Sélestat along the famous Route des Vins d'Alsace, making it an excellent base for exploring the wider region rather than Sélestat itself.

Those with business in central Sélestat may prefer to stay closer to that city.

Staying in Obernai: What to Expect
Obernai sits at the foot of Mont Sainte-Odile in the Bas-Rhin department, surrounded by vineyards and half-timbered architecture that is quintessentially Alsatian. The town has its own compact, well-preserved historic centre built around the Place du Marché, with independent restaurants, wine bars and boutiques within easy walking distance of most hotels. It is a destination in its own right rather than simply a suburb, so guests enjoy a genuine village atmosphere without sacrificing comfort or choice.
For travellers using Obernai as a base for the Alsace Wine Route, the location is ideal: Barr, Mittelbergheim and the Château du Haut-Koenigsbourg (accessible from Sélestat) are all within a short drive. The town has a train station on the Strasbourg-Molsheim-Obernai line, putting Strasbourg roughly 30 minutes away by regional train. Drivers will find the A35 motorway convenient for reaching Sélestat (around 25 to 30 minutes south) or Colmar to the south. The hotel offer in Obernai ranges from design-forward budget stays around 88€ per night up to spa-equipped four-star properties above 300€, meaning there is a realistic option for most budgets.

Frequently asked questions
Is Obernai a good base for visiting Sélestat?+
Obernai works well as a base if you have a car or are comfortable with regional trains and a connection. The two towns are roughly 25 to 30 km apart by road, so day trips to Sélestat and its famous Humanist Library or Christmas market are straightforward. If your main reason for travelling is business or a specific event in Sélestat, staying in Sélestat itself will save you travel time.
What is the price range for hotels in Obernai?+
The hotels currently available in Obernai range from around 88€ per night at the Oneloft Hotel up to 332€ per night at YONA ex Le Parc Hôtel, a four-star property. Mid-range four-star options such as Hôtel La Diligence (133€) and Hôtel Le Colombier (125€) sit in the middle of that range, while Hotel and Spa A la cour d'Alsace by HappyCulture offers a spa experience from 149€ per night.
Which hotel in Obernai has the highest guest rating?+
Among the listed properties, Hôtel La Diligence holds the highest guest rating at 4.7 out of 5, making it the top-rated stay in the area. It is a four-star hotel priced from 133€ per night. YONA ex Le Parc Hôtel and Hotel and Spa A la cour d'Alsace by HappyCulture both follow closely with ratings of 4.6 out of 5.
How do you get around from Obernai without a car?+
Obernai has a regional train station served by the Strasbourg to Obernai line, making Strasbourg the most convenient city to reach by public transport in around 30 minutes. For villages along the Wine Route, buses run but schedules can be infrequent, so renting a bicycle, which is widely available in the area, is a practical and popular alternative. Reaching Sélestat directly by train requires a change at Strasbourg, so a car or taxi is more efficient for that specific journey.
