History: Hotel legacy since 1870

“In my opinion, this family-run hotel distinguishes itself through its prime location on the main marketplace of Herentals, coupled with its long history dating back to 1515. The combination of a hotel, restaurant serving Flemish-French cuisine, and authentic café-complete with a wide range of Belgian beers-makes it a unique place to stay. I think it's a solid choice, especially for business travelers seeking a comfortable and convenient base.”
