Browse our rooms →Welcome to the district.
Nestled in the Alzette valley, Pfaffenthal (37.5 hectares) is one of Luxembourg’s most historic and picturesque districts. Part of the UNESCO World Heritage buffer zone, it was once the heart of the city’s tanning and milling industries. Today, it has been reborn as a unique residential gem, seamlessly connected to the City Center by a breathtaking glass panoramic elevator and to the Kirchberg business plateau via a state-of-the-art funicular. It offers an authentic village feel, historic fortifications by Vauban, and serene riverside living right in the heart of the capital.
