“I noted heavy construction during the property's transition, yet its commitment to wellness remains clear. The direct funicular access to Thermes de Spa and focus on local, sustainable cuisine stand out. Despite some service inconsistencies reported during renovations, the location near Spa-Francorchamps racetrack and High Fens natural park still holds appeal for certain travelers.”

great breakfast direct access clean room rude staff unclear bill broken glass
The breakfast selection was really good. The room was super clean and cozy. The hotel has a direct access to the spa facilities (this was a major plus!).
The staff in the bar seemed rude and they failed to bring the bill. I had to ask six times for it. They also failed to clear broken glass after a waiter dropped drinks.
