Hotel Oranienburg in Vianden has announced its reopening, with the first rooms and suites at the Vintage Hotel Vianden, as well as the Private Garden Residences, available for booking from Tuesday 7 April 2026.

According to the Oranienburg, the historic “Grande Dame” building overlooking the Grand Rue is undergoing a gradual revival, with additional rooms and areas of the complex set to open in the following months.

Under the direction of Pascal Zimmer and his company MyQ, co-founded with Mayke van Straalen, the project follows a “deliberately unconventional” approach, noted Orainienburg. “We approach it from the opposite direction,” he explained.

Oranienburg noted that the intervention is “minimally invasive”, with a clear focus on sustainability and a reduced ecological footprint. Walls, materials and traces of the past remain visible and become part of a new narrative, both as a tribute to the building and its former owner Jean-Paul Hoffmann and as a contemporary statement.

Historically, the house dates back to the nineteenth century. The earliest structure of the current building originates from 1850. Initially run as a small auberge, the Oranienburg was expanded in the 1930s and developed into a hotel.

Today, the Oranienburg Vintage Hotel Vianden has thirteen rooms, four Private Garden Residences “Le Châtelain”, a motel with four rooms and a mid-century home comprising three suites.

“It’s about creating a coherent atmosphere for guests. The energy of a building plays a central role: you can feel that things were once crafted by hand, and that continues in our interiors,” said Pascal Zimmer.

Each space develops its own identity through  the colours, materials, textures, furniture and art interact to create distinct atmospheres, said Oranienburg. For example, some of the bathrooms and furniture were handcrafted by Pascal Zimmer’s team, and the curtains were sewn by hand in his atelier at Celula in Bettembourg.

Located along the Grand Rue, it aims to attract both local visitors and guests from the nearby castle, with a brasserie and an espresso bar dedicated to Luxembourg’s cycling legend Charly Gaul.

The Oranienburg is managed by a female co-leadership team, Antonella Antonacci and Oksana Onishchuk. The brasserie will be run by Maurice Fecchi.
