Dream Hôtel

Top choice in Wallonia


Centrally located in a revamped 19th-century convent, Dream Hôtel combines a high level of comfort with more than a dash of Belgian eccentricity, including multilingual murals, bowler-hat lamps and side tables made from drums. Bathrooms, with separate toilet, are excellent, and noise insulation is relatively good. There's a lovely little spa to wallow in and free (valet) parking.

A good restaurant is on hand, as is a lounge-like bar. Other appealing eating and drinking spots are just a short stroll from the hotel.
