What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
It’s a fifteenth-century residence, and a grand one at that, standing alongside the Den Djiver canal, quite close to the center of the old city.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Church of Our Lady and Groeninge Museum sit just down the canal path, five minutes on foot from the Markt.
The rooms
Exposed timber beams run across the ceilings, and canal-facing rooms look straight out over the Dijver.
The spa
A quiet relaxation room centers on an open fireplace, and in-room massages can be arranged in advance.
The pool
An indoor swimming pool sits beneath glass conservatory windows that look straight out onto the garden.
At the table
Restaurant Mémoire serves contemporary Belgian dishes from family recipes, and The Parlour mixes cocktails in the lounge.
How it began
Rebuilt around 1780 as a neoclassical residence, the house retains its nine-bay painted facade and an 18th-century mahogany staircase.
