\"1898
1898 The Post, Ghent<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Would it shock you all that much to learn that a country known for its well-preserved medieval towns has so many terrific hotels in so many terrific old buildings? Belgium seemingly agrees with us that, whether a piece of aging architecture has always been a hotel or was eventually converted into one, the greatest tribute you can pay is to keep it alive as lodging. It’s a reliable formula, and it gives guests the chance to experience history up close, personal, and overnight. <\/p>\n

We love modern design. Put some concrete and glass in the desert and we\u2019re as happy as a Li\u00e8ge waffle without toppings. But what really warms our heart is when the past doesn\u2019t go to waste \u2014 especially when we get as many versions of it as Belgium provides. The country\u2019s best hotels live in old farmhouses and old townhouses, old train stations and old post offices, old convents and old colleges. And some, of course, are just old hotels. Same as they\u2019ve always been.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not to say we want to sleep in a museum \u2014 at least not in the traditional sense. The contemporary filter through which these hotels view the past is what makes them so exciting, and makes them works of art in their own right. The current owners inherited something timeless and added their own interpretation of how best to interact with it in the 21st century. If that\u2019s not museum-worthy, we don\u2019t know what is.<\/p>\n

August<\/a><\/h2>\n
Antwerp, Belgium<\/h5>\n

\"August\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Something of a sequel to Antwerp\u2019s stylish Hotel Julien, August is a hotel with a little bit more ambition. It\u2019s the first hotel project by the well-known Belgian architect and designer Vincent Van Duysen, who transformed this old Augustinian convent into a different kind of refuge, one whose sense of privacy and tranquility is only accentuated by its setting in the city\u2019s verdant Green Quarter.<\/p>\n

Relais Bourgondisch Cruyce<\/a><\/h2>\n
Bruges, Belgium<\/h5>\n

\"Relais<\/a><\/p>\n

If what you\u2019re after is a picturesque medieval town, criss-crossed with canals, you should know that Bruges out-Amsterdams Amsterdam by some distance. And only in Bruges could you find a hotel like the Relais Bourgondisch Cruyce. It occupies a pair of gorgeous, delicate old timbered houses, and presents the very real risk that you\u2019ll spend more time out front, photographing it from the canal side, than you will in your room itself.<\/p>\n

Genappe, Belgium<\/h5>\n

\"Indrani<\/a><\/p>\n

Indrani Lodge is less than an hour\u2019s drive from the Brussels city center, in the village of Loupoigne, but that\u2019s more than far enough for this restored medieval farm to serve as an escape for all sorts of travelers, from couples on the run for a weekend from Brussels to a full house of guests attending one of Indrani Lodge\u2019s yoga retreats. (Yoga is a year-round specialty here, with discounted lessons for hotel guests.)<\/p>\n

1898 The Post<\/a><\/h2>\n
Ghent, Belgium<\/h5>\n

\"1898<\/a><\/p>\n

Though completed at the turn of the last century, thanks to its neo-Gothic style Ghent\u2019s old Central Post Office looks hundreds of years older than that. You don\u2019t come to this part of Belgium in search of hyper-modern architectural experiments \u2014 you come in search of history, and 1898 The Post, a new renovation of this beautifully preserved structure, has got a bit more than its fair share.<\/p>\n

Gistel, Belgium<\/h5>\n

\"Spoor62\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If there\u2019s another hotel quite like it, we don\u2019t know about it. Spoor 62 is a masterfully designed two-room b&b housed in a historic railway station in the countryside outside Bruges. It\u2019s clear that great care went into restoring the old brick station, a stop on the storied Pullman Express line between Paris and the resort towns of the Belgian coast, and today it positively glows with warmth and an understated countryside glamour.<\/p>\n

JAM Hotel<\/a><\/h2>\n
Brussels, Belgium<\/h5>\n

\"Jam<\/a><\/p>\n

A younger generation in Brussels is casting off the chocolate-box preciousness for which the city was formerly known, in favor of a brutalist-inspired industrial-chic aesthetic \u2014 of which JAM is quite possibly the perfect example. It\u2019s set in a disused 1970s building that was initially home to an art college, and you\u2019d have to think the old faculty would approve of the new use.<\/p>\n

Hotel De Witte Lelie, the White Lily, is an exquisitely designed guest house, filled with personal charm, privacy, and intimacy. Here three seventeenth-century canal houses have been joined together to create Antwerp\u2019s most luxurious small hotel. You can take the name almost as literally as you like; the expansive public spaces are swathed in plush white rugs, sofas and armchairs, with more than a few lilies to be seen.<\/p>\n

The medieval city of Durbuy is one of Belgium\u2019s most picturesque places, and while much of the local trade seems devoted to preserving the ancient atmosphere, a change in ownership has brought Le Sanglier des Ardennes into the 21st century. The rooms and suites are decorated in a style that\u2019s an inventive blend of well-worn historical elements and contemporary design interventions.<\/p>\n

Right in the thick of Ghent’s historic city center sits Pillows Grand Boutique Hotel Reylof Ghent, spanning a 1724 townhouse and its 20th-century neighbor \u2014 a union which is almost a perfect metaphor for the contemporary boutique hotel, balancing local authenticity and personal intimacy with global, forward-looking standards of service.<\/p>\n

Bruges is famous for its picturesque beauty, and places like the B&B Exclusive Guesthouse Bonifacius are exactly why. This delightfully ramshackle 16th-century restoration perches right at the edge of a canal, and its interiors are rich with antique character; in fact it\u2019s a bit of a surprise to see fellow travelers in modern dress rather than period costumes.<\/p>\n

H\u00f4tel des Galeries is a smart 23-room boutique inside one of the city\u2019s loveliest landmarks, the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert. Displayed on the glamorous facade of the antique shopping arcade, built in the mid-19th century, is the motto omnibus omnia \u2014 everything for everybody. It\u2019s a phrase that might well describe the hotel itself, with its perfect location on the corner of Galerie du Roi and Rue des Bouchers, and its mix of style and substance.<\/p>\n

The Secret Garden is set right in the heart of Bruges, which, to be fair, is no megalopolis \u2014 but the tranquility on offer here is still remarkable. In its concept \u2014 and its size \u2014 it\u2019s got more in common with bed and breakfasts than with luxury hotels.<\/p>\n
