Rubenshof

Frommer's Review

This small family hotel used to be a residence of the Belgian cardinal, dating from 1860. Perhaps this explains the heavenly atmosphere. The place has a remarkably ornate interior, with painted ceilings, chandeliers, and a great deal of ornamentation that includes wood carvings and stained-glass windows. Some of this is Art Nouveau, in a "new" wing that was added to the building in 1910 and includes the breakfast room. The guest rooms are somewhat plainer than the public spaces -- with the exception of the Chinese Room -- but they're still comfortably and adequately furnished and tastefully decorated. A small but tolerably devoted staff adds the personal touch.
