“This family-run hotel, a turn-of-the-century gem in Spa, balances historic charm with modern comforts like soundproofed rooms and Wi-Fi. Its central location is a genuine draw, placing you steps from the Thermes de Spa and a short distance from Circuit Spa-Francorchamps. Breakfast leans continental, and while some miss heartier options, the overall experience is enhanced by its character and attentive service.”
