Luxury hotels, hotel suites and fine dining restaurants in Belgium

Vacations in Belgium 

This northwestern European destination, nestled between France and The Netherlands, might be said to straddle the two countries culturally, reflecting its long and storied history with both. Yet in other respects, Belgium is proudly distinct, uniquely Belgian–in linguistic diversity, the arts and folklore–and with a foodie reputation that prizes beer, chocolate, waffles and French fries. 

Our luxury hotels in Belgium occupy a footprint that takes in its most famous cities–medieval Bruges in the west; in the center, cosmopolitan Antwerp, an economic and cultural center where gothic architecture sits alongside modern masterpieces; and then the thriving capital of Brussels, as politically important in the Middle Ages as it is today. This unofficial capital of the European Union, also home to NATO, possesses a big city vibrancy that belies its relatively small size. Its green, forested countryside is never far away either–guests always feel close to nature. 

Boutique hotels in Belgium at the cutting edge of design 

You’ll find Relais & Châteaux in Belgium in impossibly beautiful, fairytale-like structures, set amid manicured gardens or on the edge of parkland, in quirky baroque city center buildings, or grand temples to neo-classicism–in all cases walking a line between history and heritage with contemporary design sensibilities and interior comforts. Whether you’re seeking a romantic getaway in Belgium, a city break in a World Heritage Site (that would be Bruges, known as the Venice of the north courtesy of the canals that snake through it), with plenty of culture and activities, or a more relaxing getaway in a luxury spa hotel in Belgium, we’ve got you covered. 

A constellation of stars: our fine dining restaurants in Belgium 

Gourmands will not be disappointed. Our luxury hotels in Belgium and standalone restaurants boast a great number of Michelin stars, executing faultless food in classic and contemporary styles, with supreme creativity on display in each. Expect dishes that often look like culinary works of modern art, mixing homegrown ingredients with more worldly flavors and mixing traditional approaches with modern interpretations.  

Enjoy our chefs’ creations in grand dining rooms and contemporary styled establishments, but don’t think it’s all delivered in a fussy way: their passion for warm, welcoming service and a vibrant atmosphere more than match the exquisite nature of what’s on your plate. Expect inspired menu pairings from established cellars of old and new world wine, or potentially matched with the almost 1,500 varieties of Belgian beer–a cultural institution in its own right.  

Unforgettable holidays in Belgium 

In many cases, you need only to set out on foot or by bike to explore the historic surroundings of our luxury hotels in Belgium to get a sense of what the country is about. Explore its culinary history, experimenting with the vast array of beers on offer and find your favorite bar along the way; visit Antwerp’s chocolate museum to discover why the country is so connected to all-things cocoa; discover other museums, visit historic buildings to get under the skin of its medieval heritage, and get your art fix in the galleries that abound everywhere. Don’t forget to try a portion of French fries with mayonnaise–arguably the national dish–or a waffle prepared by a street vendor. 

Out in the Belgian countryside, enjoy guided nature walks, go jogging, hiking or horseback riding through its forests and national parks, with many found close to our hotels in Belgium, or play a round of golf. Even inland, you can enjoy watersports, diving and fishing on countryside lakes, or you can take a boat-trip through Bruges, Antwerp or Brussels. Enhance your sense of well-being and recharge the batteries with relaxing treatments, in saunas and hammams, or tone up with personal trainers in our fitness centers. 

Eco-hotels in Belgium that enhance the environment 

All Relais & Châteaux hotels in Belgium and around the world pride themselves on protecting, preserving and restoring nature. Most have pristine grounds and gardens for guests to enjoy, with many growing their own vegetables, and wild nature is never to be found far away. Sustainable hospitality and the idea of responsible travel in Belgium means all our properties are mindful of minimizing their impact and carbon footprint–and conscious about enhancing the environment where they can, often participating in local ecological and wildlife programs. 

Best luxury hotels in Belgium for remarkable hospitality 

With all Relais & Châteaux properties independently owned and many being family-run, you can expect warm welcome and attentive service throughout your stay. It helps that our establishments are all on a smaller, more intimate scale–that means guests in our luxury hotels in Belgium benefit from a more personal style of hospitality. Our teams endeavour to really get to know guests and go the extra mile in satisfying them, especially in room or dining preferences, and will also make helpful suggestions for personalised activities you may enjoy during your stay.
