Discovery of the Month
Where style and history take center stage: Villa Pétrusse in Luxembourg is a neoclassical boutique gem that charms design aficionados and gourmets alike. A member of Relais & Châteaux, it boasts a prime spot in the Ville Haute. Built in 1880 and set within a leafy private park, the villa feels secluded – yet the city’s top sights are just a short walk away.

Where style and history take center stage: Villa Pétrusse in Luxembourg is a neoclassical boutique gem that charms design aficionados and gourmets alike. A member of Relais & Châteaux, it boasts a prime spot in the Ville Haute. Built in 1880 and set within a leafy private park, the villa feels secluded – yet the city’s top sights are just a short walk away.
The Rooms
Interior architect Tristan Auer has left an unmistakable signature on Villa Pétrusse. His aesthetic – defined by airy hues and soft pastels – infuses the boutique hotel with an effortless, contemporary elegance. Paired with individually selected furnishings in each of the 22 rooms and suites, the result is a setting that feels both refined and deeply personal. In every room, the eye is drawn to a painting above the bed: Luxembourg artist Sosthène Weis created a one-of-a-kind work for each accommodation. Rooms and suites are spread between the main villa and the pavilion, the former stables. Guests can choose from four categories – Superior, Deluxe, Signature Valley (pictured), and Signature Garden – alongside three suites. The Melusina Suite and Pétrusse Suite occupy the villa’s first floor, while the Gëlle Fra Suite crowns the pavilion’s top level. Designed like a private apartment, it opens up to sweeping views over the park.

The Culinary
The culinary heart of Villa Pétrusse is Le Lys, the restaurant led by chef Kim de Dood, who has earned two Michelin stars over the course of his career. Here, De Dood serves four-, six-, or eight-course tasting menus that blend Luxembourgish and Asian influences. Guests can dine in the restaurant’s elegant main salon or retreat to one of the more intimate smaller rooms. Wine pairings are offered in L’Atelier du Vin, where the sommelier draws from a cellar of more than 400 labels – including some truly rare bottles. And wine isn’t the only beverage taken seriously here: the restaurant also has a tea sommelier. Guests can choose from a refined selection of teas from around the world, each expertly prepared to bring out its full character.
The Experiences
When it comes to wellbeing, Villa Pétrusse opened a new chapter in September with the inauguration of its Spa Suite. Designed in the same style as the rooms and suites, the space is a serene wellness refuge created in collaboration with Austrian natural skincare brand Susanne Kaufmann. In the new dedicated treatment room, guests can book a selection of distinctive rituals developed with great care and attention to detail. The focus of each treatment is deep, long-lasting regeneration, supported by plant-based ingredients sourced from the Alpine landscape. Guests can also immerse themselves in the rich history: Villa Pétrusse was built atop a former fortress complex, whose underground corridors and chambers – the historic casemates – are still preserved today. They house the wine cellar, serve as a unique venue for art exhibitions, and can be visited, adding an evocative historical dimension to the luxurious hotel stay.
