I stayed here for two nights in March with a friend. I had read many of the reviews of this hotel before deciding to book and it was a good decision. Although we were a fair distance from the city center, it was only a 15 minute walk to some action in the center town. Since I was travelling with a pet I preferred to stay near a green space and the park is quite nice and so conveniently close. Room was a large size, carpeted, very clean, but the heating didn't work properly even after asking for help at the front desk so that was the only slight discomfort. We were in a room facing the main street and it was quiet, we slept well. Service was fine. We didn't have the breakfast, found the hotel's too expensive but luckily we found a bakery around the corner for the Saturday - not Sunday though when nothing within blocks was open! (the convenience market or two bakeries). The car elevator into the parking was a bit strange but no problems, you know your car is very safe at least! We drove to Klausen for dinner which took less than 10 minutes and was recommended by the front desk person. Great place! I would recommend this hotel, as long as you don't mind a little trek downtown where the main sights are, from the hotel's quiet neighbourhood, residential area.

We stayed at the Parc Belair for one night on 10th April whilst travelling back home through France and were sorry not to stay longer. We had a suite with two balconies overlooking the park which was very pleasant with a very comfortable and large bed. The staff were excellent, always friendly and courteous and allowed us to leave our car in the secure car park after we had checked out so we could take a sightseeing tour of the city next morning. The lobby of the hotel is very chic, beautifully decorated and has a smart bar for cocktails with good expresso coffee on tap for free at anytime, plus pastries and biscuits which was certainly a bonus, and something we'd not experienced before. They also have a swimming pool and spa which as we only stayed one night we didn't use but I think that is also included in the room price. They have two restaurants, a bistro opposite the hotel and one in the park. The restaurant in the park looked lovely but as the weather was poor we had dinner in the restaurant opposite.We enjoyed it very much; the interior was quirky and cosy (it's Italian), and we had one of the best carpaccio's we've ever eaten and a great rigatoni veal bolognaise. There were lots of nice extra touches, a complimentary glass of peach champagne cocktail to start being one, and again the staff were excellent. It was also reasonably priced at £88.00 for two for three courses and plenty of wine. We were very impressed and shall certainly stay again if travelling through France.

I stayed at this hotel between the 18th and 23rd March 2012. I had a standard double room (#316). The Parc Belair is a suitable tourist hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The bed was comfortable and the room had a balcony overlooking the park which was nice. There was a shower and no bath. The TV was modern but only offered two channels in English, and both were news channels. There are by comparison around ten German language and ten French language channels showing a variety of programmes. Breakfast is available downstairs in a nice restaurant area, but was not included in the price I paid (120 euros per night). It would have cost an extra 20 euros per person for a buffet. instead, there is a perfectly nice café to the left of the hotel if you take the road on the first left and walk about 200 metres. There is no movie on demand system. Wi-Fi is available in the rooms for 20euros per 24 hours, but the signal was poor and didn't allow enough bandwidth for skype calls. The connection dropped several times every few minutes. After 7pm you have to eat outside the hotel in the Bistro across the road. The bill can be added to your room. Food here was satisfactory. Pasta costs around 15 euros and a steak is 28 euros, which I found expensive for the quality. Room service is available, and it is the food served from the same bistro across the street. However, the nice photo of the terrace and restaurant on the TripAdvisor website for this hotel, is not actually at the hotel but in the Park, and you need to walk there. The fitness centre is very small and most mornings I had to turn the lights on by going to the distribution panel, rather than the light switch. On checkout I left a nice pair of headphones in the room by mistake. I called the hotel a few hours afterwards and was told the headphones were not there, and that the cleaning staff had not found anything. That was disappointing as they were definitely in the room when I left.

I have been staying in this hotel for the last few months on business, I find the hotel staff excellent and willing to help with issues that I might have. The location is very nice. Good WiFi coverage in the lobby and rooms, good parking.

I was in Luxembourg for a colloquium at the European Court of Justice. My hosts had booked me into the Parc Plaza hotel. But, luckily, it was overbooked, and I transferred to the Parc Belair, a much more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing place. There was no room availability in the Parc Belair itself. So we ultimately ended up in some annex rooms in a building just beside the hotel. No complaints, however, as the rooms had just been refurbished and were of a high calibre. The lobby of the hotel is like a scene from "Cage aux Folles". Completely over the top in terms of decoration. But I liked the madness of it all and enjoyed a couple of nightcaps in the plush and comfortable surroundings of the lobby. Next morning, I had an enjoyable breakfast in a room overlooking the park. Indeed the breakfast room is so close to the park as to be almost inside it. Echoes of the "Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe". Breakfast was standard EU fare: fresh rolls, selection of cheeses and cold meats, fruit juices and salads. As is usually the case in Continental europe, the coffee is freshly brewed and exceptionally tasty. All in all, there was a high degree of escapism attached to staying in this hotel, something which enhanced the overall guest experience for me.
