In Entzheim, behind the half-timbering and geraniums, Père Benoît tells the story of an old Alsatian farm transformed into a place of hospitality. Today, a hotel, restaurant, and reception areas form a single establishment, deeply attached to its architecture and regional identity.
The Origins of Père Benoît
The name “Père Benoît” preserves the memory of the site’s baking vocation. Even today, it evokes the taste for simple and generous things: bread, kougelhopf, Alsatian recipes, and the pleasure of hosting around a table.
Discover the history of Père Benoît through a few key dates.
1976
The Beginnings of Restaurant Steinkeller
In 1976, the farm’s old vaulted cellar welcomed the restaurant’s first tables. Its name naturally emerged: “Steinkeller” means “stone cellar” in Alsatian.
Under the vaults and between the stone walls, the restaurant developed convivial regional cuisine, inspired by Alsatian specialties and local products.
1987
The Old Barns Become a Hotel
About ten years later, the farm’s barns were converted to accommodate the first guest rooms. The project preserved the building’s character, its volumes, and its half-timbering.
Thirty rooms were thus created, allowing travelers to extend their stay in Entzheim in the tranquility of an Alsatian home.
1990
The hotel expands
The hotel continued its development with the creation of thirty additional rooms. It now boasts 60 rooms and can accommodate passing travelers, families, business professionals, and groups alike.
1995
The Restaurant Unveils New Atmospheres
Restaurant Steinkeller gradually expanded into other parts of the old farm.
The Winstub, Les 4 Saisons, and the Véranda were added to the Caveau. Four rooms, four atmospheres, but one common goal: to offer Alsatian cuisine in a warm and authentic setting.
