Ten years after opening in Moselle, Domaine de la Klauss is honoured in Bangkok: the five-star Relais & Châteaux hotel in Montenach receives the global title of best luxury heritage hotel.
The Domaine de la Klauss, a five-star Relais & Châteaux hotel in Montenach, in Moselle, received the title “Best Luxury Heritage Hotel – Global Winner” on Saturday 24 October 2026 at the World Luxury Awards ceremony in Bangkok. It adds the title “Best Luxury Romantic Hotel – Europe Winner”, awarded at European level.
The story begins in 1969 with an inn founded by the grandparents of the Keff family, devoted to hospitality and the traditions of the Moselle terroir. The next generation carried it on, followed by Alexandre Keff’s brother, who sustains its spirit today.
Alexandre Keff then carried the project of a five-star hotel. Construction began in 2012, with the intention of preserving the region’s architectural identity and landscape. The stones come in particular from a local quarry discovered by his father, Charles Keff, on the Klaussberg.
Opened in 2016 in the heart of the Three Borders region, Domaine de la Klauss brings together high-end accommodation, gastronomy and wellbeing. Its Spa Gemology extends over 800 m², and its gourmet restaurant Le K holds one star in the Michelin Guide 2026.
The award arrives in the year the house celebrates ten years in luxury hospitality. It reads in it the recognition of several generations of one family, and that of Moselle, whose hospitality expertise shines on the international stage. Its conviction rests on two sentences: “True luxury is not reduced to stars. It also draws its richness from a history, roots, a soul and values that pass through the generations.”
In Montenach, the distinction rests on a continuity that can be followed stone by stone: a village inn, a local quarry, the same family at the helm for more than half a century.
