If the weather is bad, the Luxembourg City Museum is built more or less into the old fortifications, and a glass elevator takes you from the foundations of the old fortress on the ground floor to panaramic views higher up.

Unfortunately, Kathy's Cupcakery has closed, and the Park Inn is really not my (or anyone's) first choice anymore. Melia "City View" rooms have great panoramic views, as have most rooms at the Sofitel Grand Ducal. Most of the business hotels in the Kirchberg area are inexpensive (by Luxembourg standards) on the weekend, but the area is a bit dead outside of buisness hours. Whatever you do, do not repeat not stay at the Hilton DoubleTree, it's a concrete monstrosity and out of the way for just about everything.
Great insight, thanks. Will stay at the Royal, so hoping my understanding that it’s well located is correct. With just 24 total hours, (early afternoon to early afternoon Friday/Saturday), a few good walks, one good museum, and maybe a Christmas Market would round things out. Just need a good dinner idea for Friday.
