Boutique Hotel Caelus VII

Top choice in Northeast Belgium


Super-central, this delightful seven-room hotel fills a former hat shop with antique and antique-style furniture, while offering all mod-cons including Nespresso machine, air-conditoning and thoroughly pampering beds. Upper-floor rooms are accessed by the steep, original spiral staircase, but there's a baggage lift so you needn't lug your bags up with you.

Reception times are limited so be sure to write down the door code you receive when booking. Near the station, around 600m east, even grander co-owned Huys van Steyns is a similarly good choice, with the bonus of private parking behind the rose garden.
