What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This charming hotel is beautifully situated on the banks of Robertville Lake and a park with direct access to it.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Lake Robertville lies right beyond the lawn, with trails leading straight into the peat bogs of the High Fens.
The rooms
Rooms keep their original Ardennes stone walls, and most look straight across the water of Lake Robertville.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The indoor pool is heated to 31 degrees Celsius with a hydro-massage waterfall, and an outdoor infinity pool sits above the lawn.
The spa
At the table
The bar pours craft cocktails and fine wines, and Restaurant LAGO serves local Ardennes produce on its garden terrace.
How it began
Built in 1938, the former hostelry was reimagined in the late 2000s by Brussels hotelier Jean-Pierre Robert.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
