An emblematic building in the city of Luxembourg, the former Villa Baldauff has been transformed into an exceptional hotel, Villa Pétrusse, following an extraordinary five year restoration…
Villa Pétrusse has written a new chapter in the millennial history of Luxembourg for future generations, respecting its remarkable heritage. A new destiny begins for this legendary place. Architectural details, hand-painted wallpapers, monumental fireplaces, frescoes, and stained glass – the meticulous restoration by local master craftsmen blends with all the modern essentials of sustainability, responsibility, and safety. It forges a bold yet respectful link between the past and the future.

In the late 19th century, a visionary trio modernised Luxembourg by reshaping the capital of the Grand Duchy and constructing splendid villas surrounded by gardens, including Villa Baldauff: Edouard André, a pioneering landscape urbanist; Pierre Kemp, an architect; and Sosthène Weis, a painter inspired by Luxembourg’s landscapes. In 2025, Villa Pétrusse honours this rich history by restoring this legendary site to its former glory.

The hotel shelters 22 rooms, including three suites, a private penthouse, an enchanting park, a fine dining restaurant, a contemporary eatery, a fitness room, and unique event and reception spaces. Designed by interior designer Tristan Auer, the decor draws inspiration from the spirit of the place with the faithful restoration of historical elements, such as the precious hand-painted wallpapers reproducing Sosthène Weis’ works, and custom-designed furniture for the Villa Pétrusse.
Period artworks, a selection of noble materials, and intelligently designed modern layouts create harmony between the finest traditions and creativity. In the rooms and suites, the bar, or the dining room of the gastronomic restaurant, despite its often grandiose volumes, Villa Pétrusse has retained the atmosphere of a luxurious private residence, offering a sense of home, where guests are welcomed with warm and attentive care.

The fine dining restaurant Le Lys is led by Chef Kim de Dood , a Luxembourg native returning to his childhood country. After various experiences in Asia, where he notably earned 2 Michelin stars at Saint-Pierre in Singapore, he now offers a cuisine that blends Luxembourgish traditions with Asian influences, creating a global and unforgettable culinary experience. Chef Kim de Dood will offer a ‘Kaffi a Kuch’ coffee & cake in the afternoon at the Villa Pétrusse bar. Villa Pétrusse aspires to become a must-visit culinary destination in Luxembourg.

At the heart of a garden city… Just steps away from the historic center and pedestrian district with its luxury boutiques, Villa Pétrusse, with its expansive private park bordered by the Pétrusse River, invites guests to rediscover a forgotten gentleness of life. It accompanies the transformation of a millennial country full of contrasts, both open to the world and preserved from its turmoil, with a hidden wealth of natural and cultural treasures.
