Hôtel Brion is a small historic building in Strasbourg, also known as Villa Brion. Located in the Neustadt district at 22 Sleidan Street, it is a private mansion designed in Liberty style and classified as a historic monument of France since 1975. According to the available information, the palace was designed in 1904 by architect Auguste Brion, who lived from 1861 to 1940. Brion came from a family directly related to Friederike Brion and was a prolific architect, having built four other houses on the same street between 1903 and 1905. For this personal hotel, he used a wooden framework and reinforced concrete for the internal walls, while covering the interior wall surfaces with stone. The design is described as having a more exuberant taste than most of his other works. The building was later used as a hotel under the name Hôtel Marguerite between 1926 and 1972.
